Kenotic Rhythm

As some of you may know I have been on a blogging hiatus for some time. My previous domain at Thoughts of a Gyrovague no longer is in existence. I was paying for it and not using it. I let it go. It was a painful decision because I am certain God has a plan for me, and some of that plan entails writing.

Letting go and not writing for a time has been an act of obedience, and an act of self emptying. While on hiatus I began to come across the words Kenotic Rhythm. I cannot put my finger on where I first saw it, but it has stuck for some time. It is where this blog derives its namesake. The daily ingress and egress of life and allowing it to be recklessly abandoned unto God is how I would define it. It has several different nuances based on what religious tradition you are reading from.

At this point in my life I am still holding down a full time job that requires much of my communication abilities, as well as attending graduate school at Hope International University. I am also full time dad to a growing teenager and husband of 14 years to Amy. This being said I am not sure how often I will post here.

It has been a welcome experience the last few weeks to start thinking about a subject and then feel the familiar tinge of excitement when in the back of my mind I begin to think "I should blog about that". I have not had that feeling for awhile. This will be a place of spiritual insights as I come across them, and a small window into the life I live. I hope you will be challenged by what you read, and I hope you will visit this place often.
