Was I Love, when no one
   else would show up? ...

Was I Jesus to the least of us? ...

                                                          Was my worship more than just a song? ...

These lyrics have been stuck in my head for weeks now....  probably because the words nailed my insecurities about the footprints of my life - including this blog. 

I've been away from the songs of the week for a long time and I've been away from meaningful church attendance (let alone participation) for even longer still.  So while I've been saying - "I'm so busy with kids' stuff" or "Work is taking so much more time" or "The limitations of the music player make it too difficult to continue the SOTW" - I think whats really kept me away is the sense of my own hypocrisy.  Who am I to write these messages and then not live them? 

I am truly grateful for the opportunity I've had to share music and thoughts about faith and Christianity, albeit from my "average Joe" point of view.  Clearly there is some greater power leading me back to the SOTW's (and to more?) The challenge for me is living up to the ideals that I write about, or even working towards them. 

For whatever reason I'm here again, time will tell.  I suspect that God's plan will be far better than the one(s) I keep fighting making.  Peace, Mark
