Well, it has been a long time since I have blogged. Recently, I decided it was time to start writing again. Problem was that I forgot my password. It had been so long since I had written in my blog that I could not remember how to sign it to my account. Further, as I went through multiple attempts to get back in, it seemed as though my blog account was locked out because of inactivity. I tried to start another blog...I couldn't get that account verified.
There are times when I feel like what I experienced is the story of my life. I start something...the newness wears off, and I forget about it for a while. Later on, the interest returns, and what had been relatively simple, at one point in the past, becomes infinitely more complicated. What had been almost second nature, is weird and uncomfortable again.
It is quite interesting to me that good habits are so hard to create and bad ones are so very easy to put into practice. I guess that is why discipline is so very hard. Doing the right things over, and over, and over again is a monotonous rhythm. Many times there is little reward, or verification that we are doing the right things. Yet, we know in our soul that the discipline we are exercising is for our own good. Eating right, exercising, practices of spiritual formation: prayer, reading, study, meditation, solitude and others, all take a dogged determination to become routine. We know that when we practice these things, everything else in life is better. Yet somehow, we just neglect the truly important things in our lives...
So, time has come to begin to reorganize and re prioritize...
