This Is The End... Of Sorts...

Careful observers, and even the blind drunk among our readers, may have noticed a dearth of postings here lately. Chalk it up to fine experiment that has finally run its course. I think there were a couple of crucial nails in the coffin – 1. Rick and I just don’t seem convinced each other are going to hell, despite our religious differences. That doesn't make either of a relativist (whatever that flabby term means, Jacque Barzun might rightly point out), but are both pretty darn good pluralists, and both lean a bit more toward confidence and interest in God's love than His wrath (hope I'm not being presumptuous – this is what I get from my discussions with Rick, anyhow). Besides, it's no fun arguing the same doctrinal or dogmatic points again and again when you know the person on the other side, who wonderfully bright and understanding, comprehends them all and simply does not accept them. At this point, God's got his role to fill and grace will have its way. 2. I, for one, am un-frickin-believably busy. Husband, father, newspaper and magazine new media guy, writer, guitar player, avid reader, blah blah blah, I really shouldn’t have time for one blog. Much less two. I'll go back to posting my occasional observations dealing with religion or religious Web sites on ErnestoBurden.com. No need to further dilute an already vaporous stream. That all said, don’t be a stranger. We'll still be around. Just not here, and not with this laser-like (heh heh) focus on matters of Christian theology.
