    If you write for God you will reach many men and bring them joy. If you write for men you may make some money and you may give someone a little joy and you may make a noise in the world, for a little while. If you write only for yourself you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted you will wish that you were dead.

    - Thomas Merton, from New Seeds of Contemplation

    Time for a sabbatical

    Dear Alert Readers, I am nearing the completion of my MDiv and life and schoolwork are piling up quickly. Therefore I’ll be taking a sabbatical from psnt.net until mid-May. It will be good to come back at that time, rested and ready to go. In the meantime, please keep sending me interesting items you find on the Interwebs. Thank you for reading. Yours, P.

      For the last couple of months I have found psnt to be the best devotional. Too often other religious writings feel too simple, trite, Jesusy, happy, short, or use too many big theological words or are just not as helpful to my spiritual development as the thoughts I have found here. Thank you for sharing. I’ll go back and start at the beginning.

      Paul, prayers surround you and family as you reach the end of your seminary training. You have an excellent blog! Very accessible and w/out a lot of the theological jargon that one would have to use a dictionary to figure out. God bless, brother! We look forward to seeing you back, soon. D.

      Sabbatical?! Ugh! How will I spend my free time? Just kidding. God’s blessings on finishing up your school work. Let me know if you need a break and want to grab a beer at Everybody’s. Oh, wait… You’re Baptist. ;-)

      Thanks to all of you for your kind words of support. Except for Brent, who is clearly jealous that I can simultaneously drink beer and be theologically correct. :-)
