Guilt

For some strange reason, when someone departs from blogging they must return with a post reasoning logically on the matter. Extruding excuses from life experience spanning their absent stint...its guilt. Ironically we have in a sense created our own guilt in the matter, opening our lives and thoughts for others to see they become acustom to the matter and instill a sense of obligation, hence creating our self-inflicting guilt. Now im done with that, i must say, funerals, time away, sheer lack of anything extra in my life...they've created this dilema!!! So i'm struggling for a great ministry thought...or even a thought and it's been like that for a bit now. I wish i had a picture of this last weekend. As a kid growing up my favorite baseball team was the St. Louis Cardinals. I went to games all the time with my dad, Ozzie Smith even came to my school before he retired and gave me a bat...they were my team through and through. When they opened their new stadium i was there for the first series, i'm a pretty big fan. I was in St. Louis last weekend, and it was good to be in the town of my team. Sadly i wasn't there for the Cards yet another favorite in my life...Dave Matthews. Since i was in about 8th grade my best friend Bryan and I have been going to Dave Matthews concerts, so we met once again for the show. The experience was great because Dave was the first concert in the new Busch stadium, and i was seated directly in center field!!! During the concert i often found myself turning around and marveling at the view, i was on the field of my baseball team for the first time in my life, it was amazing to see the seats packed all the way to the top level with fans screaming for Dave...but to me it felt like a baseball game! If you cant tell the experience was more than nostalgic for me....more to come!
