I know it’s been a few weeks since I posted anything. The Read the Bible series/podcast went on hiatus when I took a full time job at the end of last summer. I wasn’t really looking for a job; I had just updated my resume and was considering looking for another church, possibly a full time secular job so I didn’t have to be in a hurry looking for a church, and an opportunity sort of fell in my lap. So I am still the pastor at Unity in Plainville, GA, and also work a 24 hr. on call schedule five days a week. And I’m on the city council, and I have a wife and we’re raising a teenage daughter, and she is in the marching band and girl scouts… between work, ministry and family, my “extra time” for blogging really took a hit. In recent weeks there has not even been a Happy Monday or Satur-deja Vu post.

Here is the buried headline: WordPress reminded me this morning that I have been on this platform for 18 years. If my blog were a person it would be an adult. When I first met Michael Spencer, his blog The Internet Monk had only been around three years. He had only blogged a total of 10 years when he passed away. I did not start blogging until he launched a podcast and began to transition away from posting as often.

I wanted to note the occasion. Since it caught me off guard there’s no bloggoversary special, lifetime stats, etc. Just the acknowledgement that it’s been a minute since I started doing this in 2008. Let me just encourage everyone reading to do well and do good.

Long live the blog.
