Hello!

I’d like to start off by thanking you for continuing to read this blog. I sincerely appreciate each one of you who have read, commented and shared my posts with others. I’ve made quite a few new friends and look to make many more in the future.

Today is Monday 7/14/14, which means that a “Mining the Parables Post” on the “Prodigal Son (Chapter 3)” was supposed to be released today. I must apologize as I am still working on that post. I promise you that it is not because I am lazy or losing interest in this blog, but because my wife recently gave birth to our second son Elijah. He’s a healthy little guy and is doing well (except for gas pains…thankfully the medicine is working). The joy that comes with the blessing of children is always accompanied by additional responsibilities. Getting Elijah into a routine has proven difficult especially considering his big brother Dylan has been fighting a virus for 8 days. Handling the care of two small children (and trying to keep them apart so that Dylan doesn’t give his virus to Elijah), a wife that is recovering from a c-section in addition to my normal day job equals my exhaustion…which leads to the purpose of this post.

I have not had the appropriate time necessary, this past week or so, to invest into research and writing for this blog.

I generally like to have posts written a week in advance which gives me adequate time to proofread and edit before releasing. Today’s scheduled post on the prodigal son is about 25% done. That being said, I hope to have it completed and return to schedule next Monday barring any unforeseen set backs on the home front.

Thank you for bearing with me.

It is not my intention to complain about the blessings God has given me through my family and I really hope I am not coming off that way. I simply wanted to let it be known why new material wasn’t being released on schedule.

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

See you next Monday!
