Greetings to people who don’t read this 🙂 I don’t think my friends check here much and I can’t blame them in the least. Life is crazy. Today is my first day back at the blog in over two weeks and there’s only one reason for that: I’m home from work sick today.
So I’m working on the leadership team at my church, working regularly with World Relief, oh yeah – there’s that whole job thing – and we hosted both Christmas and New Years at my house. I’m kinda slammed. Now I’m looking at starting martial arts again. I really enjoyed blogging, but it takes an amazing amount of time to do it well (that’s why I’ve been so scarce). So what’s the point of this post?
Well I guess I’m calling the regular blogging thing quits. It’s quite sad that I didn’t last even half a year. I would do it more but I received little feedback (the kind that generates more conversations) that it seems like people just aren’t terribly curious about what I like to write on. That’s cool… almost expected, really. I started this page as something I wanted to read, not for an audience. But now I don’t have the time to read or write much, so I think it’s time for me to move on. The archives aren’t going anywhere and neither am I. My e-mail link is still on the ‘About Me’ page if someone in the future ever does find this interesting and wants to talk to me about it.
Basically I can start back up on martial arts or I can blog. Based on the interest this blog generates I think it’s going to get shelved. I see the future of this place as pretty much what the past of it was. A place for me to publish my essays online. Every now and then when I get something together I’ll drop a message here. If anyone ever had anything they wanted to talk about that they think I would be interested in, I’m happy to have that conversation and even do research about it so I can write more. But until that happens I think this is going to become more of an archive than anything else.
My friends, you have my e-mail address. Please stay in touch and I will do the same.
Peace to you all and, as Jack Horkheimer always says: “Keep looking up!”

You cannot accuse me of not trying to keep conversations going 🙂

Now look what you’ve done…

I’m going to have to cry. I would be anyway, so now I’ll just have to cry harder.

Keep looking up indeed bro. Well done, my good man, and good luck with the other stuff…

Good point, Al. That can keep going, though it requires a more one-on-one setting. Coffee or whatever. It didn’t lend itself to public discussion. Let me know if you want to get together sometime for that or any reason.
Thanks all! I guess I’m going to have at least one other essay (a bigger one) up here in a month because I’m going to do something totally crazy…
I’m going to try teaching one sunday for my church. Yes ME. Up front pretending I’m a pastor or something. Even if the real presentation doesn’t happen I’m going to have a good bit of material put together for a discussion on one of my favorite Bible passages: Luke 4.
Since I’m putting that together, for good or ill, it will show up here when I’m done. I’ve only been working on it for an hour now, but I like where it’s going already.

Cool! Wish I could be there for it.

peace 🙂

Fine! How’s this 🙂
It’s been a freakin’ busy week! I was going to post something on imitating a pastor, but I just haven’t had the time. Why?
Maybe I should post on that too.
I love you all, sorry about the absense!
