getting back to the story

i could tell you that my life has been just really busy of late and that would be true. i could tell you that Thanksgiving and Christmas and relatives and shopping and school Christmas concerts and Christmas services filled up my schedule for some time. that would also be true. i could tell you that i'm not the best at time management (not bad but not the best) and that could account for why i have not kept up with my story here. all those things would be true.

but the real truth about why i haven't written is because of what comes next in the story. next is one of those chapters from my life that i would rather delete if i could. the problem is, it's my story. it is what happened. and it's hard. and still ... there is grace.

more later ... and soon ... really.
