It has been a long time...

But I am back, and I intend to remain this time. I have been drifting about in my complacency again. I've let my reading of the Word slip. My prayer life is a shambles. And, I am to be married in December, or November if i can convince her.

Yes, that's right, some poor benighted soul has deemed me fit to be her husband, even after I have belabored all of my bad points, and they are many. I've failed twice at this already. I will not let it happen again. So, I am reading a book. Yes, that's right, I'm reading a book. What could send me to such great lengths as to read a book? You should see her. Her name is Kim, and she is beautiful.

Well, with this new responsibility I am taking on, I feel the need to take up where I left off. I need to start the long hard slow trek toward righteousness again. I need it, not only for myself, but for my family. Looking at it that way, I've been selfish. I have a son who looks to me for leadership, and I haven't been providing it. Well, it stops now.

Father, I ask your forgiveness. Forgive me for the selfish life I have been leading. Let me be the Christian father I need to be for my son. Let me be the Christian husband and leader for my wife. Give me the ability to love her as your Son loves His church. I need your help, Lord. Amen
