Lapse in Time
I used to write more things of "significance" than I have the past several months. Oh sure, some posts are deep and philosophical, but many are about regular things of life. I suppose that isn't too bad, but also there are lapses in posting. It isn't for lack of thoughts but more for how busy work, church, and family keep me. It's a good busy, filled with much happiness, as I've mentioned before.
There is another reason why I don't blog my thoughts. I'm concerned that if I write about some of the things I've been learning about life, divorce, viewpoints on church/God, that the posts will be interpreted with a bias. That is unavoidable, but it's the kind of bias that makes me hesitate.
There are people who read my blog as well as my ex-husband's and that of his new wife. On a few occasions I have talked to people about what I was going to write and cautioned not to because it is a topic on the other blogs, and my opinion is not the same as the content there. Normally I don't mind having a different opinion than another person, but I don't want to start a circus or speculation about motivations. I personally read almost exclusively the blogs listed on my sidebar, so if my writings seem timed as an aim against or for any other blog, it isn't so. It would just be coincidence. I want to say this for those who read many more blogs than I do, and correlate them.
Well, I've put it out there now. I want to be able to write my thoughts (within reason) and what I'm learning. It helps me to form ideas better when I do. I also want to be tactful and not hurt others by my opinions. And by the way, nothing will really be controversial. I save that for other people.

Be the person God has created you to be. You don't have to answer to anyone else. If you write to please Him, then everyone else is just going to have to get over it.
