Last week a friend said something that really made me think.  I was remarking about how life has really drastically changed, time scheduling wise, in the past three weeks.  There has been a major re-prioritization of goals and objectives in my life both professionally and personally.%C ...

    I'm proud of you for making that hard decision, Randy. Others of us who are slow to blog on our sites have less worthy reasons for our procrastination. So do what you have to do. May God help you use your newfound time wisely!

    Thanks Nick! I think the longest I have gone through blog withdrawal is one month...going a little over four months... well... it'll be a miracle :).

    I find your lack of blogging disturbing.

    Soon, you shall discover the true power of the blog side of the force.

    I wonder why so black and white. So on or off, blog or not blog, it seems and I may be wrong, but it appears like you only have a limited number of options to meet your needs. Why not "hey, I will blog when I can or when I am compelled, but I got this other stuff I wanna do..."

    I like your blog. It is on my reader. I just wonder why so black and white on blogging. What happen to gray?

    Well, I think I need the break and September 1 is what I came up with in regard to coming back to regular blogging.

    What do you like about my blog?

    Glad you're going to stay connected here on Facebook. I'd miss ya if you left completely. I'd understand, but I'd still miss you. God's blessings on your offline goals in relationships, health, work. Have a wonderful summer. :)

    Thanks. No, you will have to put up with me here. I would miss you too.


    The blog is its own beast and it will be good to have a summer break from it.

    Dude, I second Susan. I totally would understand, but I love hearing about you here--otherwise there'd be no Randy in life. Sad. Dude, but I am exciting about all these ideas you wrote are floating about. Hope you can snag a few and make sense of them. God's the Master Author, I bet he can connect a few dots for you. Hugs from afar and hopefully see you in July!

    I like the perspective. We don't agree on many issues, but I have enjoyed reading about your stories of the trainer, photos, the many stories of you and the people you've met on planes. I also enjoy the art.

    I don't always agree with the stuff you write, but how boring would it be if everything I read was stuff I agreed with.

    Hopefully, I have answered your question.

    I would be happy to do that, but I have a tendancy to be pretty quiet. Some might be surprised to know I am a pretty quiet person who does always have much to say.
