Not Another Blog!
“Oy,” you say, “yet another person who deludes himself into believing what he has to say matters enough for me to read yet another blog.” Well, I am not sure that what I have to say matters or not. Perhaps this is simply less expensive than therapy. And I certainly cannot afford therapy as each step I take toward living a more Torah-centered life seems to leave me with less and less disposable income. More on that later. However, I am certain I am not alone. I read the statistics. The number of people turning toward Torah-centered lives is growing exponentially. I hope this blog will allow us to share our experiences and lend each other support. Anonymously from me. Not because I am a coward, but rather, because by not using my or other people’s real names I will hopefully avoid any lashon horah.
Also, I pray Hashem will never come close to challenging me as he did Job; the title for this blog is simply representative of the fact that I am a bit perplexed why He has for some reason felt it necessary to make my path toward a more Torah-centered life such a bumpy one.
As we take this journey together, I will share with you where I have been, where I am at, and where I hope to get. G-d willing, we can learn from each other.
Thanks for reading.
