A Narrowly Missed Anniversary

It was one year ago tomorrow that the first post appeared on The Narrow Road. At that time I was not sure where this was going (I am still not), what I would post on (still not sure what i actually covered) and if anyone would bother to read it (I mean why, really, why?).

As I look back, it is clear to me that I have gotten the most benefit out of the blog (not being selfish, just realistic). It even inspired a project for one of my seminary classes, A Trinity of 3, a blog that got me through trinitarianism in one piece last semester. Never would have done that if I had not been doing this.

I pray that those that read this blog got some benefit out of my meanderings, I have appreciated your input and comments over the past year. It amazed me that I found something to write about every day, I have posted daily since September 24th of last year. Was not trying to set any sort of record, it was what it was.

But at this time, I feel the need for a break. So, I will be taking a sabbatical from blogging for an as of yet undetermined period of time. It is clear that I find my faith walk and reflections thereon the prime topic of my blogging, and right now I need to spend time immersed in that without thinking about writing about it.

This is a pretty rigorous social media fast. I have stopped tweeting, have already blown up my Twitter account. I have deactivated Facebook. This is the last step. A 40 day blog fast. Maybe. As far as the others, we will see if we go back.

Thank you for the past year. With the Lord's grace, I will figure out the next steps. I hope to be here again in the future.

Simpler Is Better, Well It Is At Least Easier

I spent a good part of the day setting up my new blog, A Trinity of 3 for a class assignment. I hope you all head over there and help me out by commenting on the questions that will come up from time to time.

I am exhausted, must be the high expenditure of mental energy in a sustained period of time. Boy, am I out of shape, physically and mentally. Have to work on both, but another story for another blog post.

A Trinity of 3 will be a simpler blog. I am resisting the temptation of hanging all sorts of stuff on it, like the Christmas tree this one is. Who knows, it may make me cut out a lot of this stuff on this blog as well.

Simpler was easier to set up, but I need to do a little more work over there over the next few days. I'll have to find the time.

Life lesson: it is so easy to add clutter and accumulation to one's life. Things get messy in a hurry. Every once in a while you need to open all the windows and sweep furiously.

But not today, I am resting from here until tomorrow.
