Dear inaspaciousplace.wordpress.com Reader,
Thank you for your presence as part of this blog. Some of you I know quite well in person, others I know only though your comments, others I know not at all. But, whatever your connection to this blog, your presence as part of this little thought island in blogland is a blessing.
There are 790 posts on this blog. If each post is 500 words (they are mostly longer, but just to keep the arithmetic simple) that is 395,000 words posted here since April 2, 2010 when I began posting at wordpress. If I have done the arithmetic correctly, that is roughly equivalent to ten books in two and a half years.
It is time to take a break from typing words into this space. It is time to unplug and allow the inner well-spring of my spirit to be refreshed. I am beginning this morning a slightly divided up holiday and week of study leave which probably means I will not appear here again until early October.
Bless you all. Thank you for your interest.

Your leave comes at an opportune time for me for it will help me break away and attend to the many tasks I have at hand. I will pray that the eternal spring of life that is Jesus will refresh, restore, and recharge.
“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves (yourself), others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
