Haven't had much time to write over the last year. Seems like quite a change of pace to the previous 5 years, and if any part of that is cogent it's change.
I told someone today that I have probably lost my voice -- that is I don't think I have much to say these days. I wouldn't waste anyone's time.
Mostly, I just don't have the time to think, and have far less meaningful conversations in which to fertilize thoughts. This season leaves me quiet, and pressing to get through it.
Further, I write out of the flow of what I am taking in. Vocational ministry allows me the opportunity to read and listen to others, and this site has been a place where I can share my thoughts and perspectives. Recently the flow of learning has been primarily in the area of accounting and tax preparation which, believe me, would not make edifying blog posts. :-)
So for now I'll probably just be quiet for a while. At some point the page will turn and this chapter will be over. Here's looking forward to the next adventure that lies ahead.

'Bout time, said the man who hasn't posted on his own blog in months.
You're right. Vocational ministry doesn't allow much time for blogging, but there's comfort that for the church to grow as it must, so many more must be willing to thrive and lead the example in this vocation/ministry tension.
You're one of my heroes, Ben Rainey!
