It's strange, but I feel a little disconnected
from Real Live Preacher. I haven't been in the chatroom in quite awhile. The
regulars have probably noticed, though I never stay that long anyway. I've
neglected answering emails, so I have an inbox full of them. I'm
usually pretty good about staying on top of that, but I haven't been diligent
over the last two weeks.
I've been avoiding Real Live Preacher a little.
The reason is that one of my daughters is going through a hard time, and Jeanene
and I are right in the middle of that hard time with her. In the old days I
probably would have written about this. But one of the sad things
about having a lot of people read my blog is that I have to be a little more
careful with what I reveal about my family. Most of our close friends, church
members, and family read
rlp, and I need to respect my daughter's privacy.
I can tell you this: You don't need to worry
very much about us. This is a hard issue now, but it will not be one that
follows us around for a long time. At least I don't think so. And the issue at
hand has nothing to do with our relationship with our daughter. We are as close
as ever. But if I seem a little distant over the next week or two, or if my
postings are erratic, or if I disappear for a few days, you'll know that life is
demanding much of me.
Thanks,
