I think some here forget some of your physical trials, and that you have other priorities that King Jesus may be re-emphasizing to you.

I, too, have been blessed by the blog here and by your tweets. Your first responsibility, though, is to your family, your own health and cardiovascular healing, then your congregation, then the training of men for the ministry, and only then the social media.

In my own Presbytery and at Synod, I have counselled men to ease up and start saying “no”. I did, myself, just this past Synod. I turned down re-election to a committee that I enjoyed working with very much. However, I had been given some new and heavy responsibilities at Synod. One can only do so many things well for only so long. Pace yourself, under Jesus, that your ministry may be longer and have more fruit, still!

Since you’re Scottish, I’ll say that’s my 2p.

I appreciate that you include the original sermons, commentary, and related articles on the blog. They were helpful. May the Spirit give you clarity as you think of and make a decision on the future of your blogging. Thanks for your contribution for the building up of the universal body of Jesus Christ.

I do have to say, along with others commenting here, that I value this blog and your thoughts and encouragement. I often point friends to the links on depression and your thoughts on the same. Thank you for all you’ve done and the time you’ve spent helping the rest of us.

Though I also understand that you’re a family man, a pastor and a Seminary instructor. I pray the Lord makes the path plain for you!

It must take much of time and effort. Having said this, your blog is very much appreciated, and, I really have enjoyed and have grown from reading HeadHeartHand on a regular basis. May God guide and bless you as you work through this.

I’ll add my name to the list of those who have been edified and blessed by your blogging ministry. However, no man can do it all, so may the Lord bless your efforts to prioritize and devote yourself to your highest ministerial work. I’m grateful for all you’ve done.

You have a toddler, teenagers, a pastorate and teaching responsibilities so I can understand why you are reconsidering blogging. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into your blogs. I’m currently reading Christians Get Depressed Too. Thanks for taking the time to research and publish it.

I appreciate that you are praying through if/how it should continue! Thank you for letting us know and thank you for being wise and thoughtful about your blogging ministry!
