I guess I am following what now appears to be a well-worn trail when I say that it is time to take a little pause in the world of blogging. The reasons are numerous and not entirely clear yet to me.
Certainly I feel the need for some time to recharge the spiritual batteries. The intent of this blog has always been twofold – to glorify God and build up His Church; as much as it is given to me to so do. Right now, it feels that all that can be said, has been. My heart has been to call the Church to prepare, to be ready, to be found in the only place that will stand firm, that is Jesus Christ. I hope I have played a small part in doing that.
I sense the seasons are changing, and time for new things comes to pass. I wonder, does the time of warning and exhortation now slip into a time for us to enter into what the Lord has prepared for His Church; the arks if you will, for the times to come? Well, I do not yet know, certainly this is something I want to reflect on more fully.
How does it go? “The world is changing. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.”
I shall be back, God willing, but it seems time, at least for a season (short, or long, I do not know) to lay down the keyboard, and to seek Him first and hear His heart.
Gods richest blessings be upon you!
UPDATE: A little clarification for you. I’m not planning at this moment to give up blogging entirely, but rather take a timeout. My current thought is that I’ll take August off and then may rejoin the fray come September.
The Age To Come 
As they say in the North of England – “Ta ta for now then”

Well Peter, I guess things are moving. Just watched Bishop Harvey at the ACN meeting and they are preparing to move in the next 2-3 months – ordinations and confirmations. Just thought you would like to know. Goodbye again.

Peter, Have a good rest. I do hope you’ll be back in action in Sept.
I may be able to visit Calgary in about a month. If so, I shall look you up. (Forewarned is forearmed, as one of my teachers used to say.)

Peter, I will miss your posts. Out of everything I read in the blogosphere, your place is unique. I also think things are changing in the world. By the way, maybe you should check out a book called “The New Mystics” by Crowder. He’s a pretty hardcore Charismatic and I’m not completely comfortable with everything he says but I think there is a lot of prophetic wisdom in the book. I have certainly been blessed by it.

Peter, just as I return you leave… 😦
Things have been a bit up and down here as we seek the Lord, desperately needing a breakthrough, yet ever trusting Him to make a way. Email us with an update and I’ll do the same, ok?
Have a blessed rest from the keyboard; I doubt I’ll do a lot until the Fall and who knows what the world will be like then. For of a certainty the world is changing, I do feel it in the air…
The Spirit is moving; if we will only sit quietly and listen we will hear His voice in the wind.
Jesus grace and blessings to you,
Susan

Susan, I’m not really gone – but like as you say I do desperately need to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, and blogging – bessings be upon it – sometimes gets in the way – hence the downtime. I’ll try to ermail soon – God bless you and yours at this transition point.
