Today is the “birthday” of the Anti-Itch Meditation blog, January 17, 2004. Eight years I’ve been doing this.
I am going to take a break.
It’s been eight years of think out loud theology, weighing peer review, and the daily discipline of writing, some writing more theological than others.
I’ve enjoyed the time, but I might be done with this venue. My viewership is higher now than ever, which means this is the stupidest time to do this. But being stupid has never prevented my actions in the past, why start now.
The blog format is enjoyable but also limited. I am considering other ventures and will keep you posted if any evolve. Don’t hold your breath.
Thank you.
Test the spirits. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Jeff,
I have appreciated you and your posts over the years, I hope you don’t go away from blogging altogether, but if that is what you are feeling you should do, be blessed brother.
Peace to you,
Paul
I’ve enjoyed reading about your insights. You have a sharp, no-nonsense way of going about sharing the wisdom you glean from God’s Word. I hope you continue to do good, Christ-exalting work.
Jeff,
Thanks for the time and effort you have put into these blogs! May God use you to glorify Him whatever your next venture may be.
And this after that sermon you posted on my blog? Pfffft
Well Jeff, I’ve only been following this blog for a few months, but found it quite refreshing and incisive, so from a selfish point of view, I’ll be disappointed if you stop for good. But, God speed, and be sure to let us know here if you’re planning on popping up somewhere else!
It’s not even April 1st, brother! Don’t do this to me. (Yep, I’m selfish too)

I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts every lunch time as I eat my sandwiches!
Best wishes for the fuure
