note

My dear blog,

Are you miffed that I ignored you for so long?

(Or perhaps you are relieved to have fewer words! words! words! in your life for a while).

What kept me away?

Not wild horses, no. But many fascinating things: Coughing. A conference. Caring for the people in my life. Playing Prince John (and Sir Hiss) to a 7-year-old’s Robin Hood. Dreaming up new articles (which may never step foot outside my scribbly notebook). Writing real letters (which have already commenced world travel). Misspelling Hebrew words in ever more creative ways. Baking. Not taking pictures, except with my eyes. Rainbow-chasing. Braving rain. Listing more and more ways in which He loves me.

And did I mention coughing? (Marveling at how fearfully and wonderfully I am made: involuntarily doing the work of dozens of sit-ups, sore muscles included, all in protection of my lungs, and breathing, and life).

Please rest assured that you have been, and still are in my thoughts and plans.

your author
