ch-ch-ch-changes

Im going through a lot changes right now. These aren’t necessarily bad things rather they are just seasons in life. I think the blog as constant as it has been over the last 18 months will change as well. Im so thankfull for all you faithful readers. Your prayers and emails of support and encouragement have truly been uplifting. I do feel like Im on the frontlines of spiritual battles on many many fronts. I think I have responded the way that God would have had me respond. I’ve made a few mistakes and I’ve acknowledged those in this blog and to accountability partners. The changes have been stirring within me for the past few months. So this is not a rash decision. The obvious change that I went through is marriage. That has changed and affected me in so many different positive ways. I think in time Im going to stop writing in the blog altogether. But for now, Im thinking of just slowing it down. Its not going to be every day, its probably not even going to be every other day. I think Im just going to write in it as God leads me to write. I’ll probably try to merge my blog with Jennifer’s somehow. Since she and I are one now spiritually speaking her blog is now my blog as we merge points of view. Plus she is so much better of a writer than me. She is better than me at almost everything except checkers and Literati (online scrabble) I have truly appreciated having this forum and this audience in which to share God’s grace and his amazing things that He has done in my life. Its nice having a forum and its encouraging knowing that I have encouraged some of you out there. Sometimes this blog is easy to write, other times I just struggle for the right words. More often than not, it has been pretty easy.

I think instead of writing in this blog on a nightly basis that I am going to write a screenplay that has been in my head for the past year or so. Im also going to do something different. Instead of this blog Im going to post the page or two that I write each day. Things might change as I write of course, but I have the general story played out in my head. So I’ll probably try to get addicted or into a routine of writing that. I’ll post what I write each day on this blog. It will be kind of line an online serial. So If you are interested you can feel free to follow along. It might interest some of you, it might not. But I wanted to share my knowledge of the culture here and incorporate it into a pretty exciting story. I haven’t written a screenplay in almost 10 years. I went to Hollywood originally to become a screenwriter. But its hard to support a family on options. So I meandered into television and got my creative juices flowing in that direction. Now that my life has changed, I think it might time to delve into that again. Writing is my greatest passion. I will still write in this blog from time to time as I feel led. I’ll also probably be copying and pasting a lot of what Jennifer has to say to since she’s a better writer and it indirectly or directly affects me. Feel free to email me if you have any questions/comments or criticisms. rickbeeman@mac.com

I hate it when i follow a blog and the writer decides to end it. Especially when they don't tell us. I am glad you told us, but i don't think you're done yet Rick. Even if i have to write it myself, you're not done. This just in --
Coming Soon to a blog near you: Rick and Jennifer's blogs merge. That way you'll get SOMETHING - even if it is just my point of view.
