Pursuing Tomorrow, Forgetting the Past

Looking back over the last month or so, I can see that my writing has been lacking. Well, by “lacking” I do not mean to imply that it was of inferior quality. No, it wasn’t even written.

Just yesterday, I mentioned to my wife how that there have been so many ideas come into my brain, only to flow right back out again, much like husbands in the Kardashian family. I can’t tell you how many things I have wanted to write about – really, I can’t tell you.

Isn’t that just sad? I think so. More than that, it leaves me feeling empty, like something was wasted. How tragic to lose a good thought!

Looking ahead, tomorrow is a new day. In the morning I start back to work after a long, unpaid Christmas vacation (I’m tired – I need to go to work). Tomorrow, I start seminary classes. Tomorrow, I get back into a routine. Tomorrow, I will pursue what lies ahead, forgetting those things behind (which will be the easy part).

Philippians 3:13-14 – Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

The “forgetting” part means that I’m already half way there! Yay!

P.S. Don’t forget to check out tomorrow’s Monday Monkey episode. It’s a little longer than normal, but a good one.
