Going Dark

If you read my last post you know that we’re heading back to the States for six months. As I’ve been thinking about our time in the US I’ve also given thought as to the direction of Cultural Dichotomy. I’m passionate about the missional-incarnational life. I enjoy reading about it, discussing it, and even arguing for it. But above all, I love resting in Christ and using His strength to live it out.

As I said in my last post I’m ready for the break. I’m ready for a time of refreshment. And hopefully one of the things that will come from that is a renewed focus on being a voice for missional living through my writing here at CD. For those that follow the site you know that I’m not the most consistent in putting out material. Essentially it comes down to me not taking the time to sit down and write. I have tons of thoughts and questions swirling around in my head, but am an expert at procrastinating, even to the detriment of this site.

Another thing that I have to guard myself from is cynicism. I’m a cynic. It’s not a good thing, but it’s part of who I am. I recently started a series on a critique of the church. After looking through the drafts for the second and third part of the series I realized that I was doing the thing I didn’t want to do, criticize. So, I scrapped the series and left the first post as it is. I still have strong opinions about the church in the west, particularly the American church, but I’ll look for alternative ways to get my point across.

Why am I saying all this? Because Cultural Dichotomy is going to go dark for a time. If you follow CD you now that my posts are few and far between. You may not even notice that I’m gone. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it is what it is. Keep CD in your news reader. I’ll be back.
