I apologize for being gone so long. It certainly wasn’t planned, things just began piling up on my desk and I became very busy with other projects, including a new website for my own church as well as a facelift and overhaul for our family at New Covenant COGIC. Updating the PraiseNet each week is a nearly full-time job, with donations to this work being very few and very, very far between, which impacts our ability to be here every week with new columns and essays. Having gotten through the past month, we’re forging ahead now, preparing the next weeks for this online ministry and expect to be here every Sunday. Thank you for your prayers, your emails and your continued support of this online ministry. –C.Priest, Editor
