Walking Away (for now)

It has been hard not to notice that barely any posts have been published at 2 Worlds Collide for the past couple of months.  There are several reasons for this, the chief being that work demands have been extremely taxing.  There is only so much time per day to accomplish everything which needs to be done, and blogging is not a priority.  The other major reason is that blogging has simply drained me emotionally.  Having already slowed in the numbers of posts being produced, I edited the six-part series on “Calvinism & Civility” (published here several years ago), and chiseled it down to a manageable three-parts (1, 2, 3) for the Conservative Reformed Mafia.  Detailing the theological/political struggle within Southern Baptist life over “Calvinism,” that series displays the heartache I have experienced personally through this conflict, and states my intention to choose an outside path of peace.  Even in trying away to walk away irenically from the situation, I found that some are eager to spew invective towards those with whom they disagree.  Nonetheless, I’m confident that the path I’ve chosen is the best decision for the sake of the Kingdom, my family, and myself.  I’ve also decided to walk away from blogging for a season.  Work is still demanding, and I’ve taken on other outside responsibilities with a military society which will demand a great deal of my time.  2WC will remain up and running in order that people may access previous posts, and I’m sure I’ll drop something here and there on the site.  One of these days posts may very well be churned out on a regular basis, but for now, the sabbatical is official.
