And the band played on…

Just a quick note to confirm that I will be taking a break from blogging for a while. Don’t know if or when I’ll be back, but I’ll leave the lights on for now…

    Breaks are good, but please be sure to come back.

    I will look forward to your next post, whenever the best time for that eventually arrives. Take care.

    ElShaddai,

    You made so many exquisite contributions to online discussion in these last times. You are a household name!

    Here’s hoping that you will catch your breath and return again.

    How can I miss you when you won’t go away?

    May your “quit” be like mine.

    It’s not like you have anything better to do in the frozen North.

    Maybe we should blame this on the Kindle.

    I’m not sure I can give a hippo to you if you quit. Maybe I’ll send you a Mickey pez instead.

    @Robert, Nathan, John and David: Thank you for the support! I really do appreciate it. I don’t want to say that I’m quitting, but I need to take a break and sort out my goals and motivations for continuing. I fear I’ve been a slave to my selfish interests and that’s not good.

    Another part of me feels like I’ve said all I can say on my current path of focus. I’ve become painfully aware of everything I don’t know and it’s irresponsible of me to write from a position of ignorance (cf. 1 Timothy 1:5-7). I don’t want to be a parrot, mindlessly squawking what I hear or read elsewhere, or a monkey, beating my clanging cymbals to the tune of the organ grinder…

    ElShaddai, I understand — but I personally never thought of your postings written out of ignorance, I learn a lot at your site. I’ll leave it at that and keep you in my prayers.

    You will be missed, my friend.

      Thank you, Peter. I will happily accept your Scribbler award whenever I get back in the saddle!

    ElShaddai,

    Know that, if you decide to return, I’ll be waiting to read what you have to say.

    Best,

    Mike

    Hey ElShaddai, I thought maybe you were just going through a phase, and I’m sure you are. I’ve been through those phases and kept blogging though at a slower pace but we all go through these phases. I know you’ll be back. You’re a really great blogger and you’ll be back like gang busters.

      Thanks for the vote of support, Kevin. We’ll see if it’s just a phase or not…

    [...] It getting busier for me again and I’m not the only one being distracted from blogging. He is Sufficient is now “He is disappeared.” Stan’s apparently fell to addiction. Iyov’s [...]

  • Words wither and blogs fade away…

    Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!
