a fresh beginning

well, it's been forever since i blogged anything or certainly thought about anything. i've been on quite a journey over the past 6 or so months. my father died, my mom has slipped into dementia and i resigned from my job as chaplain at a local hospital. as i turned 39 this past fall, i was so aware of my discontent -- everything needed to change. so, i'm in a process of healing (again). rather, i like to look at it as a being on a journey of connectedness. sin, pain, or whatever you want to call the crap that happens to us as we grow from childhood to adulthood pulls away at the pieces of our soul and i believe an essential part of accepting the gospel, the good news, declared by jesus of nazareth, is allowing our heart, mind, and soul to re-connect and integrate into the whole image it was originally intended.

so, i'm starting fresh and i think i'm supposed to journal for awhile my thoughts. and since i can't find my journal amidst the dust bunnies under the bed, i guess i'm blogging.
