Well, I suppose I'm going to take another crack at writing to my imaginary audience on blogger.com. I imagine that people love these sorts of things--writing them, that is--because it feels significant. As though every thought I have is of enough importance for people to want to read about them. Although I know this is not the case, I figure I will begin to write on here once again in order to collect my own thoughts, and if (God-forbid!) someone finds my thoughts significant, then they are here to be read.
There are certain days where I wish I could go to every Christian who lives on the earth, sit them down, and tell them what is on my heart about this God we serve. Today is one of those days, however un-profound, and I wish I could sit with you, my dear imagined reader, and tell you what there is to be found in Christ Jesus. I was on my knees just minutes ago, weeping in the presence of the Lord. The reason why is not especially profound: two people who I love very much are being bound together in marriage soon. But in the end, these things are not ends in themselves, are they? Rather, simply means. Means pointing back towards the reason for all joy and strength and peace in this world: the goodness of God. How I wish I could have such a thing to celebrate every day so that I could see the goodness of God so clearly in every moment! Or rather, maybe I wish that in every moment I could see the goodness of God which is already so magnificently evident.

How pathetic of you Rambling Beggar! Not only did you mention your sorry lack of readers in a post, but you commented on your post as well! Consider the offer to "follow" you: denied.
