Matthew 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

I am not going to apologize for not writing a blog yesterday. While some may come to expect that I will provide a blog every day, my commitment to write was unto myself. I have not sworn before God nor have I said to my readers that I would. So I have nothing to apologize for.

I do find it encouraging that at least one read said he was worried about me when I did not post a daily blog. I appreciate his following. I appreciate those who come when they can. The issue here today isn’t about what I said I would or would not do. This issue isn’t about what I do or do not do. The issue is of the heart.

I’ve been tired all week. I’ve worked in the heat of the day until I was on the edge of passing out. I committed to a word I gave and I would not stop until the deed was done. I gave my all. I suffered. It was Saturday. Tired, worn out, hurting, I had finished. I was spent and I did not want Saturday. I prayed, “Lord if it is possible, let not this day happen. I don’t want to do it.” But it did. It did so at the cost of this blog because my heart just wasn’t in it.

Today I woke up and a joyous expectation of today greeted me. I am looking forward to this day. I am the same guy, same pain, and the same troubles as every day last week. So why the difference in attitude? The simple answer is I am human. You don’t make apologies for being human. What others expect from us is consistency. Yet isn’t having an occasional bad hair day consistent with being human?

So I will save my apologies for when I have offended someone or failed to meet a commitment. I won’t apologize for being human. And if I am having a bad hair day, don’t take it personally, it isn’t about my love and commitment to you. Its just hair.
