		<description>Thanks again for putting this up - I always enjoy going back to these posts every now and again to remind me that I&#039;m not alone in the things I daily struggle with in the course of my professional and spiritual life. 

On Matthew Good&#039;s blog, back when he used to write more personal posts, he once had a post up called &quot;Ghosted&quot; in which he talked about an extremely raw episode in his life; the failure of his marriage, and a suicide attempt which followed later. It always resonated deeply with me, and I was saddened to see it taken down, though I understand why he did so. I&#039;m thankful that you still have the need deep down to keep your more personal posts up. I know they do a lot of people an immense amount of good.</description>

		<description>Michael,

Thank you for posting all these links.  It gave some of us who are still relatively new to your writing (I&#039;ve only been reading for about 6 months) a chance to see the bigger picture of where you&#039;re coming from.  It was very eye-opening for me.
