Summer Break

I’ve been on study leave for the past two weeks. I have another month to go. The singular goal is to make good progress on my dissertation. I have more or less four chapters written out of a six chapter thesis (up next: Witherspoon and the Scottish Enlightenment!). I’d love to get another 10,000-15,000 words written by the middle of August. I’m hoping against hope to be finished next summer.

In order to focus on my studies–and for the overall good of my soul–I’m doing something I haven’t done before. I’m taking a full month off from blogging.

Oh the horrors!

Yes, it’s not a big deal, but it’s a longer break than I’ve taken before. I’m really looking forward to it. In fact, I’m going to try as much as possible to stay away from Facebook and Twitter as well. I may tweet once in awhile on regular life and family stuff, but I don’t have anything scheduled. So don’t be concerned by the sounds of silence. Lord willing, I’ll be back in the middle of August.

Enjoy your summer, and have a great month. You may want to take a social media break yourself. But I’ll leave that between you, the Lord, and the the internet connection at your campsite. God bless.
