New home for New Houses

New Houses has moved to a new site! This is the result of a mini-discernment process: should I start a new website for my book, or should I just make it possible for people to order it from my blog? Ultimately, I figured that it’s already challenging enough to integrate the pastor and author aspects of my vocation/self/life, without adding to the challenge by separating them in cyberspace! So I chose the latter, and had to move off of the free wordpress.com site.

Checking in

With so many people on summer vacations, ’tis the season for “away messages” on emails. Here’s my “away message” for this blog, for these days while my posts are fewer and further between:

“Thank you for visiting New Houses from Old Bricks. I am currently editing my book for publication, and since I have just enough energy to do that and work at my day-job, I’ve been taking a few weeks off from blogging. I’ll be back as soon as I can, and will post information about the book here very soon.

The working title/subtitle is The Treasure Hunt of Your Life: How the journey of seeking your calling becomes an adventure of encountering God and finding yourself. I check in periodically while away, so if you care to comment on the book title or an experience with editing/self-publishing a book, I’ll get the message. Thank you.”

See you soon…and in the meantime, Happy Bastille Day!
