Hiatus

Hiatus: Recess (break), a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, some sex series, action, etc.

The above definition of “Hiatus” was lifted from Wikipedia and pasted here for your convenience. I’m not quite sure how the part regarding “some sex series” applies to the word, and it’s probably better that I don’t know what in the hell that means. The important part of the definition is the bit about “taking a break or accepting interruption in the continuity of a work.” The work from which I will be taking a break is this blog. No, I am not closing this blog. I will be back writing and posting here in time. How much time? I’m not sure right now. I suppose however long it take some to finish the four or five writing projects I’m working on. I am excited about these projects and I am compelled to dedicate 100% of my time to them. So, everything else, including the regular updating of this blog, will have to take a back seat for as long as it takes. Happily, I don’t think that time will be too long. I should be back in a month or two, but that depends totally upon my muse’s willingness to cooperate.

So, don’t unsubscribe from the feed; in fact, if you aren’t subscribed already, you probably should do so now to stay updated on the status of this blog. I’m not going anywhere. The blog will remain. I’m just refocusing my attention and energy to a few very important writing projects.

Thanks, all. :)

Weekly Compilation: Jan 3, 2010

It’s time for a compilation of what I would call essential blog posts of the past week. Enjoy a bit of different reading!

NOTE: The feeds I feed into Google Reader are eclectic, to say the least. My weekly compilations will be broad in scope and topic. They will cover everything from spirituality, productivity, marketing, theology, philosophy, design, mindmapping, technology, science, music, video, comics, and politics. In other words, everything and anything could appear in these weekly compilations.

Experimental Theology: Fox News to Tiger Woods: Convert to Christianity!

Brit Hume: “[Tiger Woods] is said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. My message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.” [Full Article]

Editor’s note: Fox News gets more ideological and intellectually exasperating by the day. Read more…

New Blog Comment Policy for 2010

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein

I don’t know about you, but I have grown very weary of debates concerning topics that should have been concluded a long time ago. Some people simply refuse to move forward, and their penchant to justify their spiritual dormancy to anyone who refuses to join them in their lethargy usually manifests here in this blog’s comments. Yes it is odd, but I can live with odd. What I can’t live with is the accompanying and consequent disruption these folks introduce to otherwise progressive conversations. Nothing disrupts a forward thinking conversation more than backwards directed comments concerning dated issues that have already been relieved by common sense. I wish the frozen chosen would simply stop at being odd, or suddenly realize the satisfaction they claim exists in their spiritual immutability. I could coexist with such people. It’s too bad their need to justify their limited approach trumps their own need for the self-actualization of all that they preach and argue. Read more…

Weekly Compilation: Dec 13th 2009

A weekly round up of some sort used to be featured here back in the early days of this blog. Since then, I have neglected to point readers towards other writers and voices. These people have a lot to say and the more people who listen to them say it the better. So every Sunday afternoon I hope to publish a quick compilation of some of the most interesting articles that appeared in my Google Reader during the course of the week.

A Cache of Old Blog Posts and Wallpapers from 2003-2004

Desktop Wallpaper 2004

I was searching through an old, beat up external hard drive that I forgot I owned and I discovered a bunch of old attempts at desktop wallpapers and blog posts from 2003 and 2004.

The three month’s worth of old, uninteresting and pithy posts are from some blog I had back in 2004 called “Chant of Life.” Actually, these so-called “posts” are hardly posts at all. They look more like bloated “Tweets” than typical blog posts. If these short blurbs are not from my very first blog, they sure are very close to it. Read more…

Matt Chandler On the Reformed Community

I just added Matt Chandler’s name to the short list of Reformed folk that I both appreciate and respect.

“I’m unapologetically Reformed, but nine times out of ten I cannot stand the Reformed community. I don’t want to be around them. I don’t want to read their blogs. They can be cannibalistic, self-indulgent, non-missional, and angry. It’s silly and sad at the same time. Reformed doctrine should lead to a deep sense of humility and patience with others. How it produces such arrogance baffles me.” – From “The Good Fight,” an interview with Matt Chandler in the current issue of Leadership.

Are you all listening? Let’s hope so. H/T: Out of Context

Two Blogs Everyone Should Be Reading

I would like to introduce two wonderful but dormant blogs that have been revived as of late: Chris Flinchbaugh is my brother and fellow laborer for the progressive good at Inner Metro Green in Lancaster City. He is blogging at Chris Flinchbaugh. Also recently revived is Greg Carey’s NTGeeks. Greg was my seminary New Testament Professor. He is an incredible scholar and a great friend. If you are interested in serious and relevant Biblical Studies, subscribe to NTGeeks. Read more…
