Has my focus in this blog changed?
I have not added anything to this blog in over six months. I think that is because I seem to have lost a lot of my focus. I have been finding myself pushing to work, eat, sleep, and teach the Bible every once in a while. I have been focusing more on the technical aspects of my thoughts and less on the spiritual aspects. Perhaps that is why this blog lies dormant for so long.
The ones closest to me do not seem to share the same love for Spiritual things as I do. In fact, often I feel alone in my spiritual pursuits. Perhaps The Lord is indicating to me that my priorities are not in order. Perhaps I need to change focus and deal with the spiritual condition of others within my family. Perhaps I am mistaken and have already done as much as I can. In any case, the fact remains that "doing church" is not the foremost thing on others minds. As you can see, I have a bit of a quandary here. What do I do in this case? Of this I am certain, The Lord is patient and merciful and will lead when I am not putting pride in the way and trying to go in my own direction. There seem to be three choices here: (a) keep on as I am, teaching and pursuing spiritual things as always; (b) keep on as I am, teaching and pursuing spiritual things but include more focus on my family members to become more interested in spiritual pursuits; or (c) change focus, take a long sabbatical from teaching, and include more focus on my family members to become more interested in spiritual pursuits. There are other alternatives but I think I am being led to figure out the course of action from the three.
