hiatus

by rob on July 28, 2006

no left in the fog - feeling luckyI’ve been debating this for a while. I decided to do it. I know it sounds crazy, but here it goes…

I’m taking a blog hiatus. I’ll be back in a week.

No, I’m not going on vacation anywhere. I’ll be at home and work — working.

Why would I do such a thing? I dunno. I’m distracted. I’d like to say I’m taking a “blog fast” but I don’t want to be so presumptuous. It’s a pet peeve of mine when people say they are fasting from something when they aren’t. A fast is when you give something up for a time and replace that time with seeking God.

To be honest, this is kind of a blog fast, but I’m not going to guarantee the time spent not blogging or checking other’s blogs will be spent seeking God.

But I think I will be seeking God. Have you seen Him? Heh! Reminds me of that line in Forrest Gump when Lt. Dan says, “Find Jesus? I didn’t know he was missing!”

I’ll get my work done. I may even blog work-related things. But not here. And probably not here either. Not for at least a week.

The great Smokey Robinson once sang:

Now if there’s a smile on my face
It’s only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that’s quite a different subject

But don’t let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I’m sad, Oh I’m sadder than sad
Well I’m hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad

Well they’re some sad things known to man
But ain’t too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there’s no-one around

I’ve got some dealing to do in my soul so to help me, I’m removing this distraction.

Peace and love from up above, y’all. I’ll be back in a week…

    healthy thing to do, if just for silence...not waiting on email to applaud us...not waiting on blog stats to tell us we're "on course", making sure we are obedient with our time.

    Ya'll have some serious fun together.
  • God bless you! You and Patricia are constantly in our prayers.

    Peace!
  • Taking care of the soul is much more important than blogging. God bless!
