Mackenab.com is going on hiatus at least for the holidays, and perhaps for longer. I’ll plan to post an update on my status and plans as they are decided. I need some time off from the blog to work on other things. I’ll also be traveling a good bit over the next few weeks. And I’m not sure I’m getting as much out of this site as I put into it. I wonder if the time spent writing here might better be spent writing elsewhere: personally, professionally, and perhaps even freelance. Or doing elsewhere: Sometimes our words get in the way of our actions.

The word of the day/week/month, though, is reconciliation. It was Rev. Jim Wallis who drew my thoughts to this word in this recent column. At this moment in my life, though, it means much more to me than I care to try to explain in this space. In the unlikely event that my two regular readers miss the site while I’m taking a break, send me email (allen AT mackenab DOT com); I would love to hear from you.

Happy Holidays. Go in peace.
