Blogging has been a big part of my life over the last 5 years.. I have gotten to know many interesting people. I have made friends. I have made enemies.
I have never posted consistently, but instead have chosen to comment…a lot. I am actually a very passive and mild person. While blogging, I have developed a voice. Actually, many voices…possibly more than there are in my head.
After 4 years with BYU-Idaho and this past year at BYU, I am moving on to a permanent position as a public community college. I am excited for a new start. Most of all, I am excited for the stability that this position will bring to my family.
I have been trying to figure out how Mormon blogging and the Bloggernacle will fit into my new phase of life. What I have decided is that they will not.
Instead, I should write a dissertation. Maybe an article or two. I think I will blog, but I am not sure about what.
I have quit the Bloggernacle once before. That time I was angry. Now I am at peace.
Thanks.
Ah, the dissertation has slain many a blogger.
It’s good to be at peace.
Fare thee well, Chris H. I’m sure you’ll visit from time to time.
I’m wondering how heading back to school full-time will effect my blogging next month… and from there on out. Best wishes, Chris.
It’s truly our loss, Chris, but I completely understand the rationale.
Now to go work on my thesis…
Best of luck. Hope all goes well.
God speed, young man!
Chris,
I think this is sad news. I think your voice is a good and valuable one, even if it’s one that doesn’t always resonate with me. I hope you find time to stop by from time to time.
Say it ain’t so!
I’m so very happy for you and your academic position though. That is fantastic.
I haven’t been around here long and I don’t comment much, but I appreciated what you added. Thanks for contributing while you could. Good luck!
Best wishes.
Wish you the best.
Good luck with the new job and the dissertation, Chris. If I ever find myself in your neck of the woods, I’ll give you a call.
Good luck with your new gig. I’m excite for you.
Congratulations on finding a permanent position! In today’s economy, that’s amazingly nice.
Good luck with the dissertation and the articles, and enjoy the peace.
Chris —
Will miss the fun you bring to the fight. Come back soon, y’hear?
Oh, and congratulations.
Fare thee well, my friend.
Thanks Chris!
Getting out of Utah will do that to a man.
Chris, it’s been fun. See you around!
I have loved your contributions,, will miss them, but all things must end. Best of luck with the new job.
“even if it’s one that doesn’t always resonate with me”
I think I gave up on resonating and that is what brought me to this.
I will see some of you around Facebook for sure. Others possibly at Sunstone this year. It has been fun.
I’ll host you in England if you ever make it over here.
I’ll buy you a hotdog if you ever make it here.
See you on the other side, brother.
Sad day, Chris. But I understand completely. Good luck with the new job and the dissy. I’ll see you on FB.
🙂 God bless. I keep saying I’m going to quit too. Just can never make the break.
Have a good trip, Chris, and I’ll see you in a few months. 😛
