Hanging Up My Hat

Hi Friends,



After much prayer and contemplation I've decided to discontinue my blogging and writing. It wasn't a decision I reached easily, but I've at last reached a sense of peace about it. It also wasn't a decision I took lightly or impulsively, but one which took several weeks of sorting through thoughts and emotions.



There are many contributing factors to my decision, but the main one is an eyesight issue. In 2007 I was diagnosed with a rare eye disorder which could eventually claim my sight. Over the past few months, my left eye has steadily grown worse to the point that I can no longer see well with that eye. Though the right eye is holding strong at this time, there is good reason to believe that one day it will get worse too. It doesn't take a doctor's degree to realize that hours in front of a computer screen isn't the best thing for my eyes.



Ironically enough, the diagnosis was actually one of the main catalysts to me blogging and writing books in the first place. I'd always wanted to write a book. God allowed me to write two. If He wills, I might write again, but at this point there are other avenues I want to pursue while I can still see well enough to do so.



I've enjoyed the journey with you, and I want you to know how very much I appreciate all of you who have read my humble words, encouraged me along the way, and befriended me. I pray God's richest blessings upon all of you and send you my deepest gratitude. I look forward to spending eternity with you!























P.S. There will still be occasional posts while I fulfill my obligations to publishers/authors for review books, but once those obligations are met, WordVessel posts will discontinue.
