My Overdue Announcement That I Am Taking The Summer Off
Ummm, yeah, summer is approaching its end, isn’t it?
My husband and I began putting major efforts into some other projects earlier in the year. For a while I’ve been unsure what to do about AgnosticMom because I love this blog, but it’s hard to do something well when your attention is split.
Once summer came, that was it. Trying to keep my children from turning into little vegetables on the couch, or monkeys in the rafters, is consuming so much time! Every summer surprises me with its demands. And this one is no different.
So, I’ve devoted all my extra time to our other projects. I told the Humanist Network News that I was taking the summer off from writing and that I hope to be able to pick things back up again when school starts. Even with the return of my usual schedule, I am unsure about this blog. As long as I write my monthly HNN articles, I will at least post a link here.
I have thoughts I want to share here all the time. And I wonder about those of you I’ve gotten to know through your comments. I’ve also been interviewed a number of times over recent months. I was interviewed on a Canadian-based international radio station at Easter (that was interesting!). Most recently, an Atheist organization interviewed me for their newsletter. I’d like to post that interview here when I get the chance.
But if I don’t, I hope you are all happy and doing well. We’re having a fun (and overly active, in my opinion) summer. Everyone is generally healthy. And I have been enjoying the fact that we are receiving a whole lot of love from friends and family who don’t mind that we “nonbelievers.” I know not everyone is so fortunate.
I promise this isn’t my last post, but I can’t promise how often I’ll be around. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you can be prompted when I do pop in. Thanks for sticking around! And thanks to those of you who have tried to check up on me!

Hey… I, too, am a Washburn Rural HS Grad… and I live in Chandler!
And not to be outdone, my wife graduated with you - class of ‘91! Drop us a note sometime…

Hey, have a happy summer. I don’t comment much, but I read every entry
When you get a chance tell us about your Canadian interview. Being a Canadian myself, I’m very interested!
Take care!

Good to hear from you! I’d be interested in that Canadian interview as well, for obvious reasons.
Enjoy your time with your precious family. (((Hugs)))

I am so glad you are having a happy and busy summer. I am also glad that you and your family are in good and healthy places right now. That’s the important thing. We’ll always be here when you pop in.

Hi Noell,
I was just going to stop by and say hi, and I read that you won’t be doing as much blogging as before probably. Well, I hope all goes well with you and your family. Thanks for the great blog!
PS I haven’t been around for a while, and I see that there’s at least one other user here also using the name “Dan”. I’m the Dan who started with post #6 here: http://www.agnosticmom.com/?p=140

I totally agree with you. It is against the constitution’s Freedom of Religion to try and christianize this nation.
If God refuses to force Himself on people then why do christians give themselves that right.
Most christians would rather convert you then simply be your friend. As soon as you state your agnostic you might as well put a target on your back. Hard core evangelical christians treat evangelism like some kind of sport.
I find it easier to get along with non-religious people and that is plain sad. Most christians love to argue for the sake of pride and winning rather then because they genuinely care.
Who cares how the world came into existence? Why can’t christians live out their faith? Most christians are all talk and no action. Most christians don’t care enough to get to know their neighbors. Most christians live the same lifestyles as non-christians filled with divorce, anti-depression medication and unethical business practices.
The funny thing is that I am actually a Christian and I am a Bible College graduate too.

Greetings! Sounds like you have a lovely family. I was given your website through my Sunday School class….yes, a “religious” one! While “religion” can be organized to the point of dysfunction, “relationship,” especially with Christ, is where its at. It is my prayer that you never experience religion, but that you come to the peace that passes all understanding through Christ who brings salvation and forgiveness of sins. Your precious spirit would be dynamic for the kingdom of God!!! God bless you as raise your family. May you always wear the garment of praise and the oil in gladness in your life.

Okay, enough of summer vacation. Time to get back at it.
