no new words

I have a lot that I’d like to say about things, but I feel like I’ve said it all before. I don’t have anything new to say.

Same frustrations.

Same joys.

Same life.

No new thoughts.

No new words.

Since I got nothing, I’ll share someone else’s words:

In fact, I had to come to a place of cynically doubting much of what I had been told about Jesus through all these sources so that when I began to read the Bible again, I could see a little more of what I now believe was really there all along.

-Brian D. McLaren, The Secret Message of Jesus

Cynical doubt, I’ve been practicing that long enough… pretty well mastered it. Maybe its time for me to start reading the Bible again – frankly, its been a while – if I want something new to say.

There are no new words in there, but maybe I’ve been torn down enough to hear what they have to say.
