Not that any of you should care, of course, but I am stepping out of the internet scene (except for obligatory things like paying bills, work, etc.) for an indefinite amount of time. I feel like I’m in severe neglect and found lax in many duties, and it’s time for a fast in this regard.

If there is any reason you wish to contact me, my email address is sirhicksATgmailDOTcom. If not, I would still appreciate your prayers if you’re so inclined to do so. By indefinite, I really mean I don’t know how long I’ll be of a much lesser presence. Maybe a week, maybe a month, who knows?

Grace, Peace, and Godspeed, Friends.

Yeah, me thinks Sirmon comin round is a bad influence.

Seriously I am considering taking such a break myself and totally understand the reasons.

Grace and Peace,

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

Well, I guess he's not Josh'n about taking a break. Looking forward, Lord willing, to his return.
