After much prayer and deliberation, I am finally making the decision to retire from internet ministry in order to switch focus to contributing to more pressing and understaffed areas of local ministry instead. For a lot of spiritual and practical reasons that probably no one really needs to read a wall of text about to detail it all here, but probably also not really surprising as my litany of complaints about various things over the last couple years show this as a consistent direction the Lord has been moving in my life, just that I have not always been given the perspective of being able to see or appreciate it.
I'll still be here, maybe even more than before as the local community where God currently has me is not really in a place that is likely to satisfy my spiritual, intellectual, fellowship, or recreational needs, but things will be different as I'll be here more when I need a break from ministry work rather than as an extension of it.
To that end, I don't know if I'll continue doing Verse of the Day or not. If God specifically gives me something then I'll post it, but for the most part these days my spiritual engagement centers around things pertinent to supporting Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and trying to increase the technological capabilities of broken rural communities, which are pretty heavy and complex topics currently going through intensely emotional experiences of feeling devastation, anxiety, futility, betrayal, and despair, that I don't think making public posts about would really serve anyone here.
