I am resolving to get back into a rhythm of blogging. I have found out something about myself that is really interesting in this latest season of blog drought. When I am walking through really interesting seasons of which I can’t give all the details, I find myself blogging less.
For instance, we have been in a process of exploring a potential property in the middle of Uptown Charlotte for Ebenezers Coffeehouse. I want to jump on my blog every night and update the process, but the only problem is that this specific process is not particularly the type of process that one can just expose to all of internetdom for consumption. Lots of moving parts with potential donors, working with the city, etc. So I find myself not blogging at all because I can’t write about what I really want to write about.
Maybe this makes sense to no one else but me, but that’s the reason for my relative blog silence. I’m choosing to get back into the mix again and start cranking out some thoughts in other areas. My blog is like a public diary. I never plan what I’m going to write. I write what I feel. And I feel like writing again.

We are kicking off a new series this week at Center City Church – Proverbs: Sayings of the Wise. We will be taking two weeks to look at two different verses from Proverbs. This book is a collection of sayings from King Solomon. The Bible refers to King Solomon as the most wise man to ever live. I am excited to take a look into these simple sayings that bring a whole lot of truth.

We are kicking off a new small group this week: The Weekly Recap. It’s an open-discussion forum on the previous week’s message at Center City Church. We are excited to offer this new group that will help us to dig deeper and hear other perspectives on the messages taught on Sundays.
We will be meeting at Mugs Coffee in South Charlotte. Come at 6:45pm to grab a cup of coffee and the discussion will start at 7pm.

The story of Esther includes an over-arching theme that God can and will use anyone that avails themselves to him. Our part is to decide if we are willing to be used.

I like to refer to the Proverbs at Old Testament tweets. The writers of the Proverbs can say more in 140 characters or less than we could ever dream to say with such concise clarity. Here’s 59 characters of goodness for you that should motivate each one of us to work hard at whatever God puts in front of our path.
Proverbs 19:15 – Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.

Esther 6 shows us a stark contrast between pride and humility. And the encouragement is to allow God to honor us in His timing.
