Some clarification is in order about this post. I’ve gotten emails now from people who regularly read this blog but prefer not to comment. It would seem I’ve offended this particular group of readers. Please understand: That was never my intention.
I’ve addressed these readers privately, but I wanted to post this in case there are any other readers out there with similar feelings.
I had so hoped the post was more clear, but I confess I wrote it in an upset frame of mind. I was speaking to a very specific group of people and their readership of this blog.
These people either go or have gone to my church.
I don’t know how to be more clear: If you are not in that group, the post does not — in any way — apply to you.
And for those people in that group, if you are still reading, please know this request was not arrived at in a knee-jerk fashion. I’d considered my options for a long time and I’m sorry it came to this one.
I don’t have a problem with people who read and don’t comment. Not everyone has the time or the inclination and that’s totally fine with me.
I apologize for any offense I may have caused these readers.
