So Long, Bene, It's Been Good to Know Ya!
Bene Diction, one of the deans of God-bloggers in a very special way is calling it quits. He says for good. I pray not.

As he put it, spam, mad money and burnout.

He has been the victim of much as he has viewed the world and all of us with a special eye. A benediction is a blessing, of course, and Bene has been a blessing to the blogosphere. A bright and shining light has been dimmed and I for one (and I know I am not alone) will miss the wisdom and insight- and perhaps most importantly- the caring soul that was always there.

Bene, how else to end but to say,

The LORD bless you
and keep you;

the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.

Blog on!
