Proverbs 29:19-27

“He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length” (21).

Late last night I decided it is necessary for me to scale back and refocus my footprint on the Web.

Here are some of the particulars of that decision:

  • Cease from posting at Bless! as I have been.
  • Cut back posting at Ain’t Complicated to once a week.
  • After getting through Proverbs this time, stop posting here at Panting Hart (unless it’s to post my “inspirational” images for computer wallpaper and screensavers).
  • Stop being a regular visitor and/or contributor to some blogs.
  • Resume development of Anabaptists.

Like I indicate in the title, this is a difficult decision which will be difficult for me to implement.

However, in my reading this morning, these two verses confirm my decision for me:

“Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds” (23).

“For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?” (24).

The state of my flocks is not good.
