    It’s the start of a new month already- the sixth month of the year. 5 are in the books.

    There is always the question: “Am I growing?”

    I don’t know.

    I’ve been good to get a blog post up daily for 5 months straight. I am not sure if you count that as progress. It is a progress in discipline.

    I try to write short stories and poems a little more. Maybe the progress is in the trying, the slow whittling of effort against neurons, against linguistic arrangements. And I’ve seen a few things leap from my mind that have made me happy, made me pleased.

    In broader life, I am not sure I am growing at all. It’s been a very inside 5 months. Anxieties and concerns and reticence circling within like a sloshing stew.

    And time moves forward.

    And time moves forward.

    And I will change, whether I like how it goes, if I choose to participate in the morphing or not.

    In writing, though, I’ve written a lot. Much of it is bland and uninspiring. But I’ve written more decent stuff as well. And that is good.

    We’ll see what June brings.

    About

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.
