Is Silence Golden?

Hello everyone!

For those that have still managed to stick around here since June, I’m still here.

It’s been one of those really busy and difficult summers for my family and I. I’m sure there are bloggers out there that can also attest to how easy it is to stop blogging all together if you get out of rhythm and focus.

My tent-making trade has been keeping me very busy the past few months. It’s been a “perfect storm” between that, being back working from home-full time, and my young son enjoying having his daddy so available for the first time in a year.

To summarize, I’ve found myself too busy and exhausted to write, to read, to study, and to think. Poor excuses, I know, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

On top of all that, this year has found us in jeopardy of losing our home. It’s a story I had planned to share–and I may still do that–but we’re not quite out of the woods yet. God has watched over us and it would appear that He is bringing us to a safe harbor but there are still a few dangerous reefs He needs to help us navigate through.

In happier news, I managed to save up enough money to upgrade my aging Mac PowerBook G4 laptop to the latest 21″ iMac in July. For the first time, I realize that I have all the tools I need now to do more creative things. My good friend Jack has been encouraging me to start video blogging or just getting into YouTube. One look at his YouTube pages and you’ll see why.

So I may change up May He Increase to a video platform. I just don’t know yet.

How was your summer? Anything new and exciting happening? What have I been missing out on?

May He Increase!
