Well, it’s been a good run.
I’ve probably edited this last post more than any other, and indeed wondered whether it should be made at all. Then I remembered the e-mail I got from a mom the other day, and the note from the lady at work who just needed to hear what I had written that day, and the comments from several regular readers. Well, I know at least some people have enjoyed this blog, so maybe I could just say something about ending it.
I started this blog under two years ago for several reasons. One was to be a voice for a kind of “compassionate conservative” approach to the social teaching. I wanted to show that “social justice” is not necessarily a dirty word. But I also wanted to show that “social justice” is just the bare minimum. Catholic social teaching calls us to build a civilization of love and anything short of that is unacceptable, which is why we have to root ourselves in Christ Jesus… and of course why His being God is so very very important.
Unfortunately, I cannot continue, and this brings me great sadness

Thanks to all those who have expressed their appreciation for what I’ve written. Thanks to the regular readers and those who have been so encouraging. Thanks to Kevin and Tito and the other folks who have linked my stuff numerous times.
Thanks especially to my dear wife who put up with my late nights of writing, my regular status checking, and all the other things that distracted me from family as I tried to supplement our income. I love you sweetie.
