navigating the waters of our internet age can be choppy at times.
to say the least.
ever since the news of michael spencer's (aka. iMonk) cancer erupted over the net, i have been wondering how to process it.
i, like many others have spent years reading his blog. joyfully clicking google reader and reading his musings. but i, like many others, don't really know iMonk, in the organic sense of the word. i only know the man who poured out his thoughts and soul on the web. the man who traversed the post evangelical wilderness. the man who will be terribly missed.
a voice was silenced yesterday.
a voice that for me gave language for my lostness in the post evangelical world.
a voice that will be dearly missed.
right now The Boar's Head Tavern is filling up with writings from the friends of iMonk as they remember, lament and rejoice for a life well lived.
i am sure in the years to come there will be other loses that the web world will encounter. other lives will end and their legacy will live on in the cached pages of the internet.
but today i remember iMonk and pray for his family, friends, those who loved him, those who knew him, and those of us, like myself, who "knew" him.
I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
