Doing What You Want or Doing What You Should?

I have been away from the things I love to do most for too many years. I love historical research, I love preaching the Gospel of Christ, I love writing. These are the things that fulfill me and give me a sense of purpose. I also love being a husband and father, yet I feel that my duty to them has caused me to wrongly deprive them of me.

My children do not know the man who researched long into the night for facts and insight into the past. They do not know the man who spent most of his time working in the vineyard of the Lord. A quick look at this weblog indicates that I no longer write as much as I would like.

Here is my conundrum: Am I serving my family by allowing myself to be pulled away from the things that make me, me? Or, am I searching for a way to shirk my responsibilities to my family, in order to fulfill my selfish desires?

Just posting because

This is a useless post just because it has been so long since I have updated this blog.
