I launched “Along the Shore” in December, 2006, to have an outlet where I could “speak my piece” on various issues. There were times when I became obsessed with the writing and interaction here … almost to an unhealthy point.
But I’ve been considering the following aspects of my life:
- I don’t blog about church life nearly as much as I should. My blogging efforts should truly be focused upon Crossroads Fellowship. I’m making that change of direction as of today. I need to do a better job of promoting the ministries of our church.
- Lately, I’m finding that I don’t have all that much to write about, especially on a denominational/theological perspective. My new collaboration at sbc IMPACT! is providing ample opportunity for me to speak to various issues on a less frequent basis. I think I will place all of my denominational blogging “apples” in that “basket.”
- My church’s partnership with REAP North Peru (IMB) to facilitate a Church Planting Movement among the Pachitea/Panao Quechua people begins in January. I plan to launch an extensive blog to chronicle and promote that missions strategy in my church in December. I will do one final post that will give directions to that blog sometime later this month.
So, all those things taken together have led me to the decision that I’m “calling it quits” here on “The Shore.” I will leave the content posted here in place until December 1, when I plan to delete the blog in its entirety.
I’ve enjoyed the interaction and the friends that I have made here.
If you have active links to my blog from your site, I respectfully request that you redirect those links to http://sbcimpact.net, and please include a link to my forthcoming missions blog.
Blessings to all. It’s been fun.
Geoff
