Goodbye, farewell and amen (mhking's blog)
Rambling's Journal ^ | Sept 14, 2005 | Michael King

"Goodbye, farewell and amen"

Life's changes are always such that you never expect them, and they take a minute or three to get used to when they occur.

My life is taking a turn now that is forcing me to give up writing Ramblings' Journal.

I've accepted a new position that will preclude me from continuing my writings here. So I'm pulling the plug on R/J in order to focus on the new opportunity that has been placed before me.

Contrary to the opinions of others, I'm not running for office (I don't have the patience), nor am I joining a monastary. But I am turning the page on this chapter of my life, and moving forward. I'm very thankful for the friendships I've developed as a result of the blog, and I'm still going to be around -- you never know when an e-mail from me or a note in your comments section will show up to jab you or give you a thumbs up.

I want to say a special thank you to my Conservative Brotherhood bretheren, and encourage you to take a look at their blogs -- they are each fantastic writers in their own right. Their views are varied and they are each outspoken in their own ways. Their work is beginning to show up elsewhere, which makes me both happy and proud to know them.

The other blogs I've participated in -- Blogcritics and The Dead Pool -- are both worth your time and your thoughts. (Laurence, I'm still in the pool, even though I don't have a bunch of points. And Eric, I'm sorry that I hadn't had the opportunity to do more critiques in the past.)

A huge thank you to the Mu.nu community -- they've been incredibly supportive and fantastic. Pixy, you're the best.

I know I'm forgetting folks, and I apologize to you in advance.

I've asked Pixy to pull the plug next weekend.

Life's changes happen all the time, and for reasons known and unknown. All I can do is to step out on the path that God has lain for me, and know that He is at my side during my journey. I'm also happy to have my wife and my kids with me - they help keep me grounded. After twenty years (it'll be twenty years in a week and a half) of wedded bliss, I'm certainly happy.

Thanks again to everyone. God bless you all, and I'm sure we'll see each other 'round the 'net.

'Bye.

WOW!!! You didn't read Howlin's post entirely, did you? There was NOTHING there about using stem cells from "dead children."

I have a list of things I hope they investigate, starting with where the FEMA money went.

Oh, they don't need the facts; they jump on ANY post to pontificate, doncha know?

It's all about making themselves feel like human beings by trying to insult our intelligence.

I think the point of Howlin's post was that the woman didn't wait to get the complete story before volunteering information.

You avoid those threads, yet they manage to get you anyway! ;-)

"I guess my problem is that I require positive proof of racism before I am comfortable accusing someone of bigotry."

I suspect the Mods looked at his post history. Now that he's gone, we can't see it. However, the claim that "recent events" had uncovered some harsh truths makes one wonder what those supposed truths might be.

If you believed 1/10th of the things you can read about me online, you'd think I was Blanche Taylor Moore.

I was wondering about that myself.

But I suppose the mods had a reason to err on the side of bannination.

*waves meekly and hopes to avoid a similar fate*

Well, well, look what we have here: yet another Holier Than Thou who is TOO STUPID to read the rest of my statement.

My, My....it seems like you haven't read FR's terms of use regarding attacking others.

I'm sorry that you're bitter, but that's not going to detract Christians from their walk.

Did you watch any of the House sessions today? I have this horrible feeling we're heading straight into a race war -- urged on by the poverty pimps and the likes of John Conyers.

I'm surprised it took 140 posts for their kind to start pontificating.

Most of his posts were attacking Bush, and calling people who defended Bush, Bush-bots, I didn't see anything that deviated from that.

Was he atatcking Bush for being too conservative, or for not being conservative enough?

Is there a Golden Mean we must walk to avoid the Long Knives?

I appreciate your reasoned response and I can see your point; however, I have been around here a long time and have personally seen Howlin get into shoving matches with Christians.

Exactly where did I "pontificate"? Your profile page mentions that you're "Pro-God". What did I say that is different?

Oh really? Well then I sure won't miss him. I am the original Bushbot (having voted for him at least 8 times including primaries).
