Thank you my friends and readers. I have decided to end this long journey of writing inspirational pieces. This past summer I retired from full-time teaching at Baldwin Wallace University. As a faculty member there, I held the BW Chair in Faith & Life. It was a wonderful appointment that afforded me some freedom to do a variety of things. These inspirational pieces were one effort that was a good way for the University to offer something to the larger world.
It has been a blessed discipline for me. Being responsible for writing piece five days a week demanded that I live with a certain awareness in my life and the lives of others. It encouraged daily reflection which provoked growth in myself. No doubt, I benefited more than any other person.
I have appreciated the many words of encouragement and notes. No one writes or speaks without the hope that someone will read or hear the words. I shared my thoughts through a blog and via Twitter. I can laugh that only a few years ago, none of us would have heard of those two words, blog and Twitter!
While I am ending the daily writing, I do plan to continue reading and reflecting. I plan to write a more occasional blog that will be tweeted on Twitter. And so I will continue to use www.alankolp.blogspot.com to share my thoughts with folks. I hope you occasionally check those out to see what I am pondering. If you also are on Twitter, I encourage you to follow me on that medium.
Thanks for being on this journey with me. I hope we can continue traveling life together.
Alan
