A Return in Transition


           It would be preposterous for me to make any sort of apology for not posting in so long as no one actually reads my blog at the present moment.  The best and most practical thing I can do is to inform what I hope are future readers that I have been away from blogging for some months due to school, work, church, and what is commonly called life. 
            I am home in Texas right now, and Texas for the last few years has seemed always a place of transition and never a destination.  This time I am awaiting travel to Italy for study abroad and then back to the states to embark on a walk halfway across the country for the pro-life movement.  It always happens that once I have visited my family, it seems that my purpose is accomplished and that I shouldn’t remain for much longer.  My focus starts to break down; I feel disconnected from what I perceived to be my life two weeks ago in Auburn; my dedication to prayer begins to wane.  This last is evidence enough for me that this is not where I am meant to be for very long.  Any place that saps strength from my reliance on God is nowhere I want to be.  But thankfully, soon I will be off to Sicily and then to side-of-the-road, U.S.A. both places that now exist only in my imagination, places that are constantly in the future, never getting any closer.  Ultimately though, I will be there, and then I will blog about it.
