I had no idea you were taking the blog down--it will be missed. I mostly have read you from the un-Right Blogs aggregator but you have often made me smile, think, act, nod and occasionally even pray. (Note: Richard Hall of Connexions is one of the only other people to do all of those things for me with his blog.) I sometimes feel in a way similar to what you describe--that if people only knew me from my blog that they would think that I am far more strident than I really am. Perhaps this is what you are referring to BD? But blogs are in part about what's in our gut--that first impulse that people often suppress later on in the analysis. Blogs let us see inside each others guts: so of course it's not always a pleasant view! But it is a useful one. And your blog sometimes soared above the gut to the heights of, well, blog-literature! Having blogged for far less time than BD, it seems to me that BD is entitled to rest and reflection and to take stock and even just take--instead of constantly giving.

And I'm finding this overwhelming. I need your help, the help that I most need is prayer, your prayer that I will be lifted into God's presence, that He will make me whole and complete again. This isn't whining, this isn't trying to hide, or excuse my behaviour, this is simply asking for the help of you, my sisters and brothers in Christ.

We have broken bread. And as much as your heart and passions (and personality) come out in what you write, I don't think there is any substitute for the personal encounter. What I have read on this blog since then, has been filtered by that encounter (and our msn conversations :) ) Even before we met up I found your compassion during a significant low point in my life... and the subsequent high point. I have appreciated our friendship over the last couple of years so much, and wish you all the best God has for you. It is obvious you have struck a chord (good and bad) with a lot of people. To me that means you have been successful in standing for something. This may be the end of the blog, but it is the beginning of something else. I am looking forward to that. Enjoy the new journey.
