And It Came To Pass

Dear Blog Family (and any other random, one-chance-in-a-million other reader),

If you know me very well, you know that I just can’t let anything happen without SAYING something about it. I think it’s a closure thing for me; maybe relational too. I need to analyze the incident or the comment or decision or expression or whatever. I want to consider motives and causation and ultimate caveats or insights while simultaneously challenging people and helping them “feel better.” The personality quirk applies now too, at … the … demise … of … this … blog.

I’m tempted to over analyze this too: What exactly is my purpose? Who is my audience? Why do I enjoy it? Why do I see it as a chore? Why do I not want to stop? Why did I start in the first place? Ad nauseum.

So I’ll FIGHT the temptation to give excuses or go into a verbal catharsis and just say that I certainly hope the rest of you keep it coming. I’ll continue to bookmark your blogs and find joy in reading your posts and seeing your pictures, but you’ll probably find it good to delete any link to this site on your own blog after the 1st of October (that wonderful “page not found” message will begin to appear about that time)

It’s been fun, but I think it's time.

PS… Parting shot, guaranteed to stir something up: Don’t be too afraid of the “Emerging Church” and check out LaShawn Barber, she’s worth reading on a regular basis.
