Let's just call that a "Sabbatical"

I'd be lying if I said that I missed this. I honestly forgot about blogging. Life happened, and it happened hard. I simply haven't had time, energy, or creative joy to write. Since I last posted, I got a job at an elementary school, doing things I had NO business doing, and have already quit in order for my family to move on to bigger and better things.
I was accepted to The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I'm pursuing my M.Div. It's mostly for you, my readers. Now, when I post things, you can be reasonably assured that I (sorta) know what I'm talking about.
Well, not really.
When I started this blog all that time ago, I set out to make it my venue to share stories of my silly, messy life, and the comedy of living out my salvation "with fear and trembling." Thus it was titled, "A View from the Dirt." I hope to continue in this pathway. This will continue to be a blog of anecdotes and life lessons, with a dose of devotional meditation when I remember Scripture that relates to said anecdotes and life lessons. If I ever decide to write more scholarly articles, book reviews, or post naked pictures of myself, I'll start a new blog/blogs where necessary.

Since, at long last, I own a computer that hasn't fallen out of a window (yet), I am cautiously optimistic that I may be able to write something at least once a week. Here's to hoping.
Thanks for reading. And God bless.
