Writer's Block

When I finished this I came back up to the top to apologize, it's kind of crazy, but so is Charlie Sheen...(That was low, and I do apologize for this blog, and that Charlie Sheen remark.)


As I sat down to write, a thought suddenly occurred to me, "I have writer's block." This random thought sparked another thought, and thus answered the thought that I thought up once my first thought was thought. Now that you are confused, let me try to explain.

Writers block won't be found in Webster's dictionary, but our friend, Google, always has an answer. Writer's block can be defined as, The inability to begin or continue work on a piece of writing; normally temporary. 
How does a writer have writer's block? Can a singer have singer's block? Which I would define as, the inability to begin or continue singing on a song; normally temporary.

Can a Christian have Christian's block, the inability to continue living a Christlike life; normally temporary?

You see I figured out once I sat down that a writer alway's has something to write about and a singer always has something to sing about. It may not necessarily be what the writer or singer is expecting to write/sing about, but there is always something there. Normally it isn't even very deep. I mean really how deep is it to write about writer's block? But then again how deep is it to write about Christian's block?

Could be really deep, like up to your elbow pits deep, but we won't go that deep in this blog, partly because we never do. Here at Random Thought For the Day Institute we just try to let a thought spark a thought. But just as the writer always has something to write about, and a singer always has something to sing about. A Christian always has a reason to live a Christlike life. You never know who's watching or who's waiting. You never know which seed is being sown, which seed is about ready to be harvested, and which seed we just plucked out of the ground due to our Christian's block. I'm just glad God doesn't have blocks, and I'm certainly glad that in the garden, Jesus didn't have Savior's block.

Moral of the Story: Blocks happen, but when one comes in front of you, you must swim move it, and go sack the quarterback!
