It's not you, it's me. Can we still be friends?


I have never been a fan of writing.  I have never been very gifted in getting my point across by using the written word.  However, I have always been interested in taking on challenges and not giving up until I succeed at whatever the challenge is.  While I'm not sure how to gauge whether or not I've "succeeded" at writing this blog, I can say it's been an immense blessing and a real source of encouragement by hearing from many of you through this process.

However, I face a challenge.  I work in a highly regulated industry, one that is monitored very closely.  My company has recently updated its Social Media policy, and while what I'm writing in this blog is a gray area for them, we both decided it's best if I discontinue writing at this time.  Perhaps things will change in the future, and I'll be able to take up writing again, but until such time, I'm going off the air, errrr, web.  

My final thoughts for this blog are this:

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
"Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need."
We are called to be good stewards of our money, but we are not to be slaves to it.  Be wise with what has been given to you and give generously back not only to those around you, but also to the Creator who gave you such things.
Thanks for reading along the way. I'd love to hear from any of you who decided to take the many challenges I posed.  This doesn't mean you can't ask me questions anytime.  I'd love to help find answers.  Take care and God bless!
Until we meet again...
