I’m trying to think through how to explain this blog as I see it.
I’ve thought:
“Essays on development of an ever detouring minister of a never ending truth.”
At least, I feel like I’m “ever detouring”.
It’s a complicated read, but if you think about it, it’s kinda an eloquent sentence. It’s even an eloquent truth for that matter – ya know, if you can have “eloquent truths”.
the lowering journey of a rising man…
I’m continually amazed at how God takes people on unpredictable trips in their development, and how he finds ways to produce unexplainable results.
I’m continually amazed at how the people he takes on these trips are often people that prefer their own trips, and need grace like fish need water.
I’m continually amazed that he often gives more of most things in life when we desire it less. I’ve found this true of all things except himself.
I’m continually amazed at how he exalts more, those who become less. I have realized this can’t be faked.
So I no longer worry about it all. I just try to appreciate it all. Maybe that’s why he uses me?

I’ve been told by wiser men, that this is what we call “development”, but I wonder if we’re ever developed.
There’s been times that felt clear that I’m supposed to be doing what people call “ministry”, but there’s times that are not clear or even times of no desire at all. So I’m just doing what I think I’m good at in the moment, and what I enjoy at the time… I’m letting him worry about the rest.
I think it’s an interesting journey. An “elasson journey” – that’s what I’m calling it. You may be on one too. (?)
…join me on my elasson journey; or don’t.
I’m simply just recording my thoughts and steps as I wind along a path that I can’t see far ahead on.
Usually quite raw.
Sometimes cooked to poetic.
Nothing comes with a guarantee.
Nothing fancy here.
