Blogging in 2011

Most of us go through seasons in which it seems as if the famous words of Robert Burns were written just for us: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." It's not all bad when plans go awry. After all, it's humbling, and it teaches us that the truth underlying Burns's words is found in Scripture:

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"— do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that" (James 4:13-15).

Last fall I expressed expectations to do more blogging. As it turned out, I blogged not at all in the months that followed. So, this year, I'm not going to talk about blogging intentions, and we'll just see what happens. In addition to my wonderful work at Crossway, I'm finishing up a book on Proverbs, and I have a rather heavy speaking schedule this winter/spring. But I miss the blog and hearing from TPC readers, so I do hope to interact with you from time to time in 2011. Soli Deo gloria!
