Changes

Many have memorialized Michael Spencer's passing.  I can't add much to what has been said.  Despite only having followed him for about a year I realized very quickly that he was one of few kindred spirits in the SBC.  He gave me hope that a blog as popular as his meant that some day the SBC might see a brighter and saner future.  I cried off and on for a week when I read he was discontinuing chemo.  Now that he has passed the world seems a little colder and emptier.  I encourage people to go to his site and look through his writings.  Chaplain Mike and others have been digging up all variety of his old posts that have meant something to them and I continue to be amazed at the wisdom and grace of Brother Michael when I read many that I hadn't yet seen.

To honor his passing I'm going to change a bit the subjects I blog about.  I've tended to shy away from reflective posts like my most recent one in February in favor of more heady subjects.  I'll be embracing whatever reflective topics come to mind more often and resisting while not outright ceasing the more academic topics.  I'm not going to promise that this will increase my average posts per month, but I hope people will begin to find this blog more helpful than merely interesting.  I've updated my blogrolls with current feeds as some of them had switched domains.  I've also added a few more blogs to all the blogrolls.
