I feel my time here is finished. I might on occasion drop in and read blogs and possibly occasionally post something, but no promises. LOL. (I will linger for a few days to respond to some ongoing comments on my blogs.) I've enjoyed many friendships here - some who have already left BC and some who remain today. I came here in a time of crisis. I was trying to cope with the ending of a 21 year marriage and leaving the pastorate after 14 years. Blogging was my outlet. Now, it seems BC has become a distraction to me getting on with my life. I tried to scale back a few months ago, but still find myself here too much. Some of you have my personal email address. If you don't have it, and want to stay in touch with me, I will be happy to provide it. I appreciate your prayers as I endeavor to seek His will and continue in this journey to heaven... Solo Deo Gloria!!! |

What a drag to lose you. And yet, the opinion's mine and God's will is much larger. I understand though, God bless!

I completely understand your path... and relate with the reasoning... Jim you have blessed me many times and you will be missed... Praying for your next leg of this journey!!! Blessings!!! michael "THE PATH OF MAN IS TOO DARK, THE CROSS OF CHRIST IS TOO GLORIOUS, AND THE HEART OF GOD IS TOO GRIEVED, FOR ME TO QUIT NOW."

I totally understand! In fact, that's what drew me to the blogs - a need to work out things in my life, healing.... and as that happens, I know the time will come sooner than later to move on. I've noticed lately how much time blogging can take and keep one distracted from the real world, and from working on the physical, emotional and spiritual issues. Odd that what starts as healing can become the block!

 5/9/2008 3:16 pm |
I know what you mean, Jim! This place has a way of encroaching into your life and kind of taking over! I pray that God continues to lead you on a path of blessing and a future that is full of every good thing He has in store for you. See you when you visit next time! Love you lots!

Many on here have come for the same reason, including myself. It's been quite healing believe it or not. I do understand how it takes away from getting on with your life. Anything that has healed a heart is always hard to let go.
| ||
5/9/2008 3:49 pm |
I'll miss seeing you here, Jim, but when God calls we must answer. I will keep you in my prayers.
| ||
5/9/2008 3:56 pm |
Awwwww....I will miss you, Jim!! But I know what you mean.....though it will be nice to see you around now and again!! God bless your footsteps as you go onward on your path to follow Him!!! Peace and love to you!!

5/9/2008 4:21 pm |
I will miss you too Jim! Or... are you trying to tell me and others also to get the h... out of here too? Do you really "know" if your presence here somehow "makes" a difference? If that little you may provide, still is helpful for others? Or do you think this is just the "wrong place" to provide anything at all??? I'm sure you got "disappointed" somehow, but... wouldn't our "true Love" for the Lord always overcome any "obstacle"! BB ________

BB ________ Oh, I better answer your questions: No, I'm not telling you or anyone else to get the h... out of here! No, I don't know if my presence here makes a difference...or if the little provide is helpful for others. No, I didn't get disappointed - here anyway. Life is full of disappointments though. Finally, I truly love the Lord - but there are no obstacles to get over here. Here is the obstacle...I spend too much time here and I've not been very successful regulating that time. Blogging on BC is kinda addicting...like good carbonara! Thanks for being a great friend!

I've got beautiful Azalea's in my yard. If I post a picture will you stay?? I also have the most beautiful Cherry Blossom pics - OH MY - breath taking. We have a festival here that is even bigger than Washington, I am told! We went with people from Church on April 23rd I think. Yea, think that was the date. After Church went on the last day to grab up the beautiful sight. I'll post pictures. See now you must stay. Oh, yea, I will also send you a picture of what my son saw when he exited his school each day while they were in bloom. Let me know if it's ok to text multimedia to your cell as I have that pic on my cell phone. I won't tell you, I'll just surprise you if you say it's ok. I was awestruck at the beauty and how blessed we were to see that and that he got to go to this school. It's been one blessing after another since he's been there!! PTL!!

Wow somebody knows their health professions credentialing agencies! School's out! I just have to do the internship portion and then it's exam time.
