If you’re one of the regular readers of this blog, you might have wondered if anything has happened to me. I’ve been very quiet, but not entirely inactive. I apologize for the absence.
I’m in the process of experiencing something of what Jesus spoke about in John 15:2 — “… And every branch that is grape-bearing he (God) prunes back so it will bear even more” — The Message. It’s a painful, yet exciting process, and I’m learning a lot. I’ll eventually speak more about it on my new website (see below). But I’m still in the midst of it, so please be patient…
As a result, I’ve started a new teaching website called NeoMysticism.com. This site looks into the way of life the Christian Mystics, and the practices that defined their lives and the fruit they produced. It explores in depth topics like Lectio Divina and Contemplative Prayer. It’s brand new, so don’t expect too much content, but I’ll keep it growing at a frisk pace…
Hopefully, it’s contents will also eventually form the basis of a multimedia e-learning course. We’ll see.
Sadly, for now, the new site will be my only focus, and I won’t be writing much here. Thank you for reading my posts in the past, and hopefully I’ll see you around on the new site. Subscribe there to stay in touch… The Jesus Feed will not disappear, so you’ll still have access to everything posted here. And who knows, one day I might just start actively posting here again. It’s all a mystery…

I recently listened to an audio version of Eugene Peterson’s Eat this Book. It’s excellent work (as we’ve come to expect from Eugene) and I can highly recommend it to anyone serious about the bible. Much of what I discuss here I learned from that and similar books.
