Have a great summer

Have a great summer

I started blogging in April of 2010. Over 600 posts have been published since the inception of Attempts at Honesty. Through the years, y’all have given me much encouragement to keep at it, encouragement for which I am grateful.

It is my intention to keep going, but circumstances are pushing me to take a break.

Between my day job, family obligations and ministry opportunities, it is shaping up to be a very busy summer. In thinking and praying about this, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to take a break from Attempts at Honesty. There is some hesitation on my part about doing this since blogging has become such an integral part of my life. But I am convinced that taking a break is the best thing to do right now.

Therefore, this will be my last post until September. Call it a vacation, call it a sabbatical, call it whatever you will, I will be taking a break.

I will maintain the functionality of the blog and respond to comments but I do not intend to write any new posts until September. If you follow me on Twitter, you will continue to get “from the archives” tweets.

One of the thoughts behind this is that I can spend time reading and studying without feeling the need to be writing a blog post. This will free me up to absorb, reflect and recharge. On the plus side, I will be gathering ideas for posts once I resume blogging in the fall.

So, there is nothing left for me to do but to wish you a great summer.

Let’s get back together in September.

I would be open to publishing guest posts while I am “away.” If you are interested in writing for Attempts at Honesty, please see the guest post guidelines.

Hitting the standard

On hypocrisy in the church

One common objection to Christianity is that there is hypocrisy in the church. It would be wrong to deny this charge so how then should we respond?

Heart

The Goal of Christian Teaching – Love From a Pure Heart

Confused About the Goal In Matthew 22:37-39 and Mark 12:29-31, Jesus tells us that the two great commands are to love God with our entire being and love our neighbors. The concept is simple but the execution is difficult. Only two commands and if we’re honest, we admit that we cannot keep either one of […]

Question Mark

Great Packaging + Great Product = Integrity

As consumers we know that beautiful packaging does not guarantee the quality of the product inside. The photo on the box often looks much better than the content. On the other hand, with the rise of store brands, we know that good stuff can be found in very plain packages. Visually stunning packaging is done […]

Angry

A lesson learned from angry atheists

A recent post for bravefaith.org got a response from several angry atheists. I share the lesson I learned from this exchange in this post.

Please accept my apology

Shame on me for not being diligent in checking my sources concerning the quote on politics that I wrongly attributed to C. S. Lewis. It turns out that C. S. Lewis didn’t write it even though the quote has been bouncing around the internet with attribution to Lewis. I deleted the post and will be […]
