“Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death…Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ….”
- Philippians 1:18b-20, 27 (ESV)
Last night’s Scripture reading reinforced what I knew in my heart I needed to do. This is my last Waymark’s posting. I have yet to figure out how to do this thing without finding the work degenerating into distasteful narcissism that is unbecoming to my Lord. So I’ve decided once and for all to pull the plug. Specific writing projects await my recovery: a guide to one-on-one discipleship, a biblical study with the working title of “The Waiting” and a fictional story of redemption whose Pentecostal heroine finds renewed faith with the Cherokee nation. Now that will be a yarn worth the tellin’ (and it’s not going to be one of those cheesy, poorly written novels found in the Christian bookstores; I’m going mainstream. There I go again, stepping on toes. See what I mean?).
My private challenges will continue to find their way between leather and hand-torn pages. Future attempts at blogging will only take form as specific projects which will not be personal beyond any lessons found there. If and when the time comes, I will provide the necessary links both here and on my facebook wall.
Be well, my readers. Thank you for enjoying the ride with me. May all grace and peace abound to you, one and all.
