Well the blog just morphed.

One of the struggles I have had over the last couple of years with doing the blog has, apart from the time commitment, been the good and bad of allowing comments. A community has formed and much great stuff has happened..people in need being encouraged, prayer requests, serindipitous connections etc. Also we have used you all for info, research, discussion, response and much else....

The dark side is that over the existence of said blog there has been obsenity, allegation and much comment that leaves the biblical injunction of 'let your speech be seasoned with grace...' far behind. Most of us can take this and are not too perturbed by it all, yet there are also many young people and children not to mention those who are fragile...the depressed, the suicidal etc online. I have on several occasions seen people much wounded because in the cyber world one does not know who one is speaking to and the caustic comment can do far more damage than anyone realises. Add to this the site is much frequented by the seeker due to the range of pre-evangelistic and secular speeches I give. I am frequently embarrased by the often vacuous and often inflammatory comments made by some.

After all this was just a hobby...a bit of cyber fun. So we will keep posting, providing links etc but the comments option will cease. No one wants their own house continually graffitied and then be accused by said vandals of censorship when you decide to contact the police and repaint....
