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.

Question 13

Did our first parents remain as they were created?

Every good story has some tension or a struggle in the plot followed by a happy ending. The story of the people of God is no exception. I will repeat the summary of the Bible that I quoted in my post about Question 12, “God made it, we broke it and Jesus came to fix it.

Righteousness, Scribes and Pharisees

Jesus told his disciples that to enter Heaven, their righteousness would have to surpass that of the Pharisees. How could this be done? Should we throw in the towel or is there an answer to this problem?

On having a perfect brother

Some thoughts on what it was like to be one of Jesus’ siblings. Imagine being compared to that perfect older brother all the time.

On Christian Calling

I was recently asked about my calling and where I see myself with regard to Christian ministry. In thinking about how to respond to this question, it comes to me that whatever the answer is, it must be rooted in the two great commands to love God and love neighbor. First, I must confess that […]
