| Posted 2/28/2002 9:01 AM (GMT -6) |   | Some may have noticed I haven't been logging on much lately. I'd fancy to believe that some may even have missed me. Alas, it is not because I am no longer interested in these topics, or because I don't love you all anymore. No no no. The reasons are these:
a) I had my laptop computer (a titanium G-4) stolen from my Bethel office two weeks ago. I'm using a borrowed computer right now. My life, I now realize, was far too centered on that stinking piece of technology! I'm so LOST without it! Plus, I had 10 weeks worth of non-backed up research in it. Plus a four year personal journal. Plus... well, why drag you all down with me.
Anyway, I have had little access to the board because of this. I don't know when I'll be able to spring for another laptop. In the mean time, I borrow.
b) Even before my laptop was stolen, I was feeling the need to "re-center" myself. I was becoming increasingly aware that my polemics have come to define too much of who I am -- to ME. Debates are fun and even important, but Christianity was never intended to be primarily about debates. Its about a vibrant life-giving relatonship with God, and about living this life out to further the Kingdom. We should wake up in the morning with THIS on our mind -- not debates! I noticed this was less and less the case with me, however. So, I had already made the decision to spend more time on the spirit, less in the mind, at least for a season.
Then, either God or the devil or just a dishonest person (or some combination thereof) "helped" me out by forcing the time away.
So, I shan't be on too much in the near future. But I bless you all in your on-going dialogues.
We are a virtual community of inquirers, helping each other, and therefore the whole, move foreward in truth.
Blessings
Greg
