The Season of Giving (too much?)

Sometimes I really struggle with Christmas! I'm no Scrooge but I really can get caught up in the commercialism and focus on the wrong things. There's this internal struggle. Christmas is the season of giving, and I really do enjoy giving gifts to others, but how much is too much? When does our giving cross the line and become indulgence and sin?

Lord, help me not to cross the line!

K.I.S.S.

Sometimes blogging can be therapeutic and an enjoyable exercise in communication. And other times it's a pain. Lately, I've been avoiding the exercise for a number of reasons - busyness, laziness, and this general feeling that nobody really reads my blog anyway. However, I have decided to keep at it but in a different format.

I guess I had this feeling that I always need to be profound and eloquent in my writing, and I suppose there is nothing wrong with that. However, I've decided to forgo that pressure (which leads to writer's block and avoidance), and take a much more laid back approach to my blogging. Oh, I hope at times to be inspiring, insightful, and challenging in my writing, but just as often (probably more) I'll just ask questions, share the thoughts of others, and as a wise person once said, K.I.S.S. it (Keep It Simple Stupid).

So, I guess here it goes!
