I understand that everyone needs a break and at busy times in our lives (weddings and such), maybe we need to slow down. Aside from that, I just don't get it. I would be willing to bet I spend just as much time on my blog, if not more, then the next guy. I have a wife and two kids and yes, sometimes I am blogging from the phone and doing homework with the 6 year old. BUT....I have never once had the thought that I was reaching TOO many people and needed to stop or slow down. Sure, on my blog you'll find the occasional post about our family, but for the most part, the entire purpose of it is to expand the Kingdom of God. I'll never be convinced that I can do that TOO much. When I started my ministry, and that includes my blog, my family had to understand they were second and He would always be first. Now then, if you're focused on YOU and how many come to read YOUR blog, then maybe a shift in focus is in order, but don't slow down; don't stop. Ya know what I'm sayin bro? I'm not being a critic, but get married, do your thing, and then get back to work. I only say this because you are one of the few, true Christian bloggers. I say this because I know you're reaching people. I know your story aligns with so many people struggling to find a better place. I know God will lead some of those people to your site where they will see that there is a way out. Shift...reevaluate....focus....Whatever, but don't stop doing what you're doing. <abbr><em>Toby´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.trgckeathley.com/2008/10/14/if-its-good-enough-for-him-its-good-enough-for-me/" rel="nofollow">If It’s Good Enough For Him It’s Good Enough For Me</a></abbr></em> I have read this post, it seems, on a hundred different blogs.

Actually, there were a couple times. It is definitely hard to get away from sometimes. I know that I have a major addiction to the internet, but I step away from it from time to time. For example - my obsession with online games is HIGH. In order to keep my job and friendships, I avoid them all together. I want to install Diablo and Warcraft and Unreal Tournament and play all night long, but I know it is bad for me. I don't eat, I hold my pee until my bladder hurts, I call in sick to work, and I get very little sleep. Real life friends are so much better. :) You know – there was a time when I pretty much “lived” on the internet. Actually, there were a couple times. It is definitely hard to get away from sometimes.
