The Lord said to him:
I have tried to figure out why I have neglected the blog this year and have come up with several explanations, none of them completely satisfactory. I have been busy, but no busier than normal and most of that busyness is of my own creation. I have only worked three or four weeks since February, so work is not an excuse. My mother is becoming more needy and demanding which is to be expected at ninety-three, but that is not an excuse either. It is a long hot summer, after an equally hot spring, but that is not a justifiable explanation. I have a couple of thoughts that I might write about at a later date as to why I have been so neglectful, but the simple fact remains I have not been as faithful as I intended.
Just as God consecrated the temple that Solomon built, he has consecrated us. He has planted his name on us and his eyes and heart will always be on us, even when our eyes and heart are elsewhere. He knew that we were prone to wander, yet his promise remains, in fact, nothing compares to the promise we have in Him.
