<\/p>\nDear readers,<\/p>\n
Sadly, for the second time since I\u2019ve been writing a weekly newsletter, I am once again putting it on hold for a while.<\/p>\n
I say \u201csadly\u201d because frankly\u00a0 it\u2019s been fun to spout off every Monday about some pet peeve or other without being interrupted.<\/p>\n
But the downside is that I am a one-person operation (except for my wife, Sue, who edits everything I write).\u00a0 Otherwise, I do all the research, all the writing, all the rewriting (I do a lot of that), and so it takes an enormous amount of time \u2013 which I don\u2019t mind, but since I offer it free it pays no bills.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019m stopping for now and will focus on selling my books, and reading books again while relaxing, something I\u2019ve been missing.\u00a0\u00a0 Four of my books are posted on my Website, and also below, and I have two more that are being prepared to be introduced.<\/p>\n
But before I go, I want to offer my sincere thanks to you for reading my rants.\u00a0 I especially want to thank those of you who have taken the time to offer your comments and ideas, favorable or not.\u00a0 After all, there\u2019s no point in writing if nobody reads what you write, and there\u2019s no way to know if anybody\u2019s reading unless they tell you.<\/p>\n
I will not be gone forever.\u00a0 Indeed, I intend to pop in once in awhile with some deathless prose on this or that subject, or just to say hello and remind you I am still here.\u00a0 But not every Monday.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, here are the books I\u2019ll be selling, with brief descriptions of each and ways how to buy them if you are interested.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will have two other books coming online in a week or two.\u00a0 One is Offering<\/em><\/strong>, which is a tightly written collection of religious and secular thoughts that I wrote during my year-long study of Jesus, and the other is\u00a0 LifeLines: Stories from Along the Way<\/strong>,<\/em> a book of vignettes that I believe everyone who has reached senior status should write.\u00a0 More about those later.<\/p>\n But for now, so long.\u00a0 And again, thank you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear readers, Sadly, for the second time since I\u2019ve been writing a weekly newsletter, I am once again putting it on hold for a while.
