Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. ~ Psalm 51:12
And a right-on-the-money spin on it from The Message says it even better: Don’t throw me out with the trash or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails!
I’ve worn many hats during my brief post-college life. Sports information director, dog walker, English teacher, missionary, unemployed bum, geranium picker. In the fall I’ll be wearing the hat of a seminarian. Regardless of the hat I’ve worn or will be wearing, my heart and mind will always be hungry for that which can sustain me.
The joy of salvation. A willing spirit. The acknowledgement of the grayness that sometimes surrounds me. The promise that a breath of His holiness can overtake a day’s worth of weariness.
My hope is that this blog will be a place for me to share and explore all the things He has sent to sustain me. Laughter, tunes, random stories and some deeper ponderings. I hope it will all find a place here.
