08/16/2004: "The End is Near!"
So close that it is here! Well of this blog anyway. After a great deal of prayer and contemplation, I've decided to take this blog offline. I've got too many eggs in my basket and I don't feel that this blog has enough value for others to continue when I could be serving God in other ways. I get 10-20 visitors a day (including family and friends). I spend a couple hours a day when I post all the pieces I try to post. That just doesn't add up to me.
I'm an active sailor and one of the men I respect a great deal is a man named Fred Schroth. He ran the national organization for a type of boat I race for a number of years. He always believed the best way he could serve the fleet was to get as many boats out on the water, himself included. He would say that all the best newsletters, bulliten boards and websites were only as good as the number of people who were inspired enough to walk away from their computer, the newsletter, bulliten boards and websites, and go sailing.
So spiritually speaking, it is time for me to get up off my butt and go sailing! God needs me somewhere else besides entering reflections and answering questions (that I've mostly thought up myself) on my blog right now.
Thank you to all who have visited this site and the questions you've posted.
