Silence is Golden

Well maybe. 


Shutting everything off around us is good. Turn off the music, the TV, the phones. Turn it all off and listen to what you hear. Personally the ringing in my ears gets louder, but I just have to live with that.

Closing off the outside world is sometimes a good and healthy step to take periodically. Doing it for long periods of time may not be so healthy if it starts back firing on you.

I have taken a year off from my blog and I miss it. There are several reasons I closed down for the last year, but the truth of the matter is I was disappointed in the lack of responses to my posts.


Yes, I was diagnosed with cancer and went through 6 months of chemo. Yes, it was hard and yes, it wore me out more than I wanted to admit. Yes, I am in complete remission. But, I could have mustered up the energy to do a blog post once a week. However, I didn’t. 


There were a few of you who kept encouraging me to go back and keep doing it. You said you enjoyed it. So I had to do some soul searching. If I came back, what was the reason for doing so. Why did I start my blog? The answer – because I had something to say. I wanted people to know me and what I believe in and what was the most important part of my life. How I can live life with God being the center of everything.

So, in realizing I was not fulfilling something in my life that I wanted to do, in 2018 I will begin my blog post weekly again. 



Do I hope more people will respond, comment and share? Of course I do. What is more important to me is I have a sincere desire to use technology and my love of words to share God’s plan for us. Hopefully with a little humor tucked in the corners here and there. 




Thanks all, see you in 2018.
