The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. ~Nicholas Sparks

Since the very beginning of Kingdom Bloggers, I've enjoyed my time each week to reflect on the weekly topic and share through written words a peek through a window at who I actually am. You've gotten the good, the bad and the way ugly at times. Such is real life.

I can only hope that somehow through the 127 post to date I've been able to convey just how much I need and love Jesus. For me, post number 129 on this blog won't be for a short while...but it will come. Thanks to the gracious understanding of my fellow Kingdom Bloggers, I will be taking a undetermined sabbatical to focus on a few ongoing projects. You can see a few of them in the picture. How lucky can one man be?


Connecting with you has been a blessing beyond measure for me. Over 100 people read this blog each day, and I may know who a dozen of you actually are. Doesn't matter. God has brought us together for a reason...His reason.


Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau



I have asked my friend Amanda Silvers to fill my Friday spot. Amanda and I connected in the mid-90's through my friendship with her dear, dear mother. Our paths have crossed on and off for years, but my affection for her and her family have remained constant. Thanks to the wonders of social media, we've reconnected more consistently, and I'm blessed and better because of it.

Amanda is a gifted writer and a spirited soul. She loves Jesus and isn't afraid to say she does. You will find her writing style 'user friendly' with a depth that is thought provoking and always genuine. God put Amanda on my heart when I decided to step out for a bit...and that's all the real reason I need to endorse her arrival with enthusiasm.


Thanks for letting me share with you the past few years. I will still be posting periodically on my personal blog at Tony C Today. When I do return (and I promise to do so), I hope to see Kingdom Bloggers up to 300 or more daily readers. As always...it's about Him...never about us.


May God pour blessing on each of you in a mighty way, and I always appreciate your prayers.

In Christ Love,
Tony C

Tony...You picked the better thing, just as Jesus said to Martha about Mary's choice... but I sure am going to miss you.
I know this is not a forever goodbye but a "see ya later" right???*grin*...no really go in Peace and let's keep in touch once in a while ok?
