I know, I know… my last blog post was over 60 days ago. Thanks for counting.

For those of you who thought your RSS reader deleted me, I truly apologize. For those of you who thought I fell off the face of the earth, I truly apologize. I should have given you some kind of warning. I didn’t quit blogging, I just took a season away. It was a conscious decision. It was a good thing. It was needful. I’m sure I will tell you all about it when I officially return (refreshed, wiser and… better looking?) September 1st.

I became aware that public repentance was necessary last week, when I received a semi-stern correction from a writer-friend. It went something like “… if I have to look at that Memorial Day post one more time…”

Sorry, Gina.

Sorry ______________, too (your name in the blank)

So, for the rest of August I strongly suggest a GREAT alternative to my blog. Make a regular habit of visiting my friend Gina Lynnes on her blog at http://livingitblog.com/

Trust me, you won’t be sorry. Gina has been a close friend for more years than would be prudent to tell. She is wonderful, insightful and has been a great influence on our lives. Plus… she can write me under the table any day, anywhere, any time. She’s REALLY good.

I’ll be back on September 1st with some kind of ground-breaking piece like “how I spent my summer vacation” or “what I learned in 90 days of blog silence.”

Let’s catch up in September. I’m looking forward to it!

Scott
