I need to put Positive over Negative

I’ve struggle some over the last several months to write consistently in this space. I feel like this is due in part to some topics that can carry a negative connotation or focus, or perhaps some of them really are negative. I prefer not to add to the abundance of antagonistic material found in the world. But there are things I rail against in my head and this stuff is crowding out the substance I prefer to write about; personal introspection, inspirational stories, and stories of praiseworthy people.

I’m going to take the risk of opening Pandora’s Box here and list the working titles of some of them. I hope not to offend anyone. Truth be told though, there is little risk of giving offense as so few are reading Calvary’s Thread these days. Only nine for the post earlier this week. (Alas poor me) I’ll risk the breach of etiquette in the hope that by typing out the titles I’ll exorcise the negative crap so I can get on with more uplifting material.

The short list of working titles:

> When the Schtick Fades

> Rend the Curtain – Again

> First: One-to-One

> Telephoto Lenses Don’t Make Big Pictures

> Church Metrics

> Isn't God's Word Inspiration Enough?

This is not an overpoweringly long list. However, the subject maters keep coming up and are a distraction. Others waft through my brain and I dismiss them out of hand.

I’d much rather write a letter for my To Whom It May Concern collection telling someone (and anyone who sees the letter) what great things the person has done, what wonderful deeds they’ll do in the future, how much I love them and how much they mean to me. Or perhaps I’ll write about how something I’ve heard or seen or done has brought me to my knees or met my heart. And so that’s what I’ll do and likely that’s what you’ll read next.

In His grip,
