Well, it's no secret that this blog has taken a vacation. While I've enjoyed writing, I found myself suddenly very self conscious. "Why am I writing this thing? Is it beneficial? In fact, wouldn't it be far more useful and unifying to hear what others have to say?" So, I choose to store my thoughts away, while I ponder the nature and validity of one "b" stuble. In my mind they found refuge in a classic, vintage suitcase resting safely in the embrace of the Scottish highlands. But, even the best of luggage eventually breaks, and in my case, it revealed that those guarded and emotional writings are of little importance in the first place! My thoughts on these things do very little, if anything, to grow the unity we desire in our beautiful and diverse team. Quite the opposite really. As they say (whoever "they" is), live and learn. Trial and error. 
So, one "b" stuble will be turning a new leaf as of now. No more life lessons, observations, or conclusions and in there place, questions that educate us on each other. One question a week (or, at times, a writing and/or image) that compels YOU, to contribute your highly valued opinion. One chance a week to consider someone else's perspective, preference, and persona. One chance a week to learn the joys of contrast and diversity within the context of trusted community.
Thank you all for your patience while I mature ever so slowly. The future of stuble with just one "b" is looking brighter. b for brighter. I can't wait to hear your thoughts, while our understanding of God and each other becomes increasingly clear. Visit stuble.blogspot.com in the very near future, to see the first of many thought provoking questions and conversations.

I don't know... I like your thoughts, and I think that you are a gifted writer, and I would rather hear what you have to say than "them" but thats just me :)
I've wanted to comment but sometimes feel like what I might say wouldn't be intelligent enough. You know, when all you think about all day is Elmo and diapers, it's hard to get your mind to think deeper. Still, I'm looking forward to whatever may "b."
My world isn't much different. I saw that Bob the Builder was coming to town and freaked out in genuine excitement. Unable to control myself, I chanted the anthem:
"Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!"
Not once, did I think, "Oh, how cool for Justice" or "What a great event for young families with kids". No, I thought to myself, "Bob the Builder is my hero and this is my chance to be a part of his claymation world!"
