I should like to say that I am immensely fond of you all, and that the past few years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable bloggers. I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” - (with apologies to Bilbo and J.R.R. Tolkien)
Well, a sabbatical of sorts.
Life is happening to me and one of the casualties is blogging. Unless and until I can get some important things straightened out, I won’t be doing much writing.
To squelch any rumors, this isn’t a personal issue but a professional one. Marriage, family, and everything else is fine; professionally, I’m reinventing and overhauling myself. The good news is that I’ve got more vision and energy for my practice than I have for some time: I love having the privilege of doing clinical discipleship with people. But the bad news is that it takes a lot of time and energy; consequently, blogging will be taking a holiday for an indefinite period of time. All I can promise is an infrequent post when something compels me to write.
Otherwise, this blog is going to be pretty quiet. I’ll still be stalking other blogs, but writing is far too time consuming if it is done properly.
Namárië.

Drop me an email sometime. I’m also rethinking what I want to do with my practice. Most of the past 10 years has been survival mode. Now, my pracice is stable and I’m thinking about how to move beyond survival.
I would love to compare notes.

Hey, I’m putting together a Lord of the Rings blog aggregator (a bunch of blogs on a related topic all in one place). I’ve added your blog to it, I hope you don’t mind.

Bummer! I check in often and have enjoyed your posts. I’ll keep you bookmarked in case you find some spare time for a post. Good luck with your practice!

I understand, Mike. I’ll be praying for you and hope to hear from you again soon. Peace.
