Goodbye

Dear bloggers,

This will be my last regular blog entry. I appologize for the abrupt departure, but it is a move I really need to make. I love writing, and blogging has seemed to be an ideal venue. However, I am ending my life as a blog author for 2 main reasons.

1.     Because of the gracious referals from other blogs, I have had a surprisingly high volume of readers on this blog. For this reason, I realize that there is a level of responsibility to not simply use a blog as a "mouthpeice" to get my opinions heard. I really have nothing novel or new to bring to the blogosphere, and that which I can or might say can be said clearer and better by others. I did not set out with the soberness of mind to approach a readership as large as I have had. At this time, it is not a responsibility that I am ready to take on.

2.     The second reason, and perhaps the largest reason is time. I need to be reading more. I need to be in the word more. I hope that by cutting back on the time that I have spent lately blogging, and by increasing my time in the bible and learning from wiser men in the faith, I will reap a much better harvest in my life. This is what I need most in this season.

Thank you all for the encouragement, the e-mails and the comments. I have enjoyed "meeting" many of you, and look forward to eternity together. I will probably occasionally update this blog with updates from the Wold's for family and friends (or anyone!) interested. Below I have listed a few blogs that have been most edifying and encouraging for me. I highly recommend them to you.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:23-25

coram deo,

Daniel Wold

Understood, but your writing will be missed. Good luck, as always, with all you do.

I will miss the blog, but praise God He is directing your footsteps! How good He is. Thanks for following through with what you believe is Gods will for your life at this time.

Awwwwww, man! I was JUST getting ready to send an email out to all our single guys to come visit! I totally understand, though. Thanks for doing it this long! :)

Of everything you wrote in your goodbye message this is what stuck out to me:

I have enjoyed "meeting" many of you, and look forward to eternity together.

I can see we both yearn for the same thing and that is to spend eternity with our Lord Jesus worshiping the Lamb of God who took away our sins and sits upon the throne. Rev 22:1

Oh. I just discovered your blog after you decided to quit blogging.

By the way, I see that you're a savethewheel.com fan, too. A friend recently introduced me to that site.:)
