White Space

White space is the unused area around text. To much white space and your words look lonely or maybe important, to little white space and you have textual overload. I run into this when I read the comics, if there is to much text in the panels I just skip over it. White space in itself is neither good nor bad, it's all a balancing act.

In my own life I think I have just come out of a time of not enough spiritual white space, I was functioning in a time of God overload (if that is even possible I don't know), there was to much "text" and not enough time to process. Now my spiritual life seem like there is way to much white space, or maybe I am just at a point where I can rest in the Lord and process the things that I have been taking in. My thoughts are few, but they seem to really stand out - community, spiritual formation, serving others, and the digital culture. I need to put these things into a cohesive document to turn in for my DMin work, but the words have not yet fully formed in my mind.

I really don't know where this was going yesterday when I started writing, so I think I will simply release it into the blogosphere and see what happens.
