The Bible says that to everything there is a season, and it would appear that the season of the EJK Family Blog is winding down.
People simply do not use blogs as much as they used to. The advent of Facebook took much of the momentum of blogs away.
Of course, anyone is still welcome to post here if desired. At some point we will close it down, but not for awhile. Great family archives and history have been shared on here, and it would be a shame to lose all that. Several of us plan to eventually work toward creating a blog book out of the entries already on here.
In the meantime, Judy and I have created the EJK Family private Facebook group. She, Rhoda, and I will serve as administrators of the group. We will add as many family members as possible (anyone can ask to join but is not admitted until an administrator approves), but no one will be a member until he/she accepts the invitation or requests to join.
The Facebook group is a PRIVATE group. That means that members may post on it at any time, but posts do not go out into the general public. It is our hope that this private Facebook group will take up the mantle of family communication and will provide an Internet means for bringing a far-flung family together.
A personal note as the EJK blog comes to a close: The enthusiasm and cooperation of family members on this blog, for ten years, was deeply personally satisfying. I was apprehensive that the idea would take off in the beginning, but was very gratified at the level of participation. Thank you so much to all who were a part of this project!! --Ann
