The Desert

Yes my friends, I am in the desert. I am somewhere between complete distraction and exhaustion. This should be a familiar place to all of you, because you are serious about your spiritual life, too. Anyone who follows the way will eventually comes to this spot. It's just that I hate this particular spot.

The truth is it all started when I wanted to push through the suffering of the Cross to find the Resurrected Life. The desire itself plunged me into this state of confusion, and of course life offered distraction. My mistake was to fight the distraction, which only made it worse. Only today have I realized that I am where God wants me to be, it's a particular kind of night, if you will. My job is to endure, with faith, until I emerge from this night.

That explains why the blog has been so silent. It wasn't until tonight that I could put a finger on what was going on. Now you know. So let's all prayer for each other.

May God bring us altogether to everlasting life.
