Say a prayer for me today.

Big day for me, professionally.  Thought I’d take a little break from Bobby, Omar, Mustapha, Brian, Colene, and Jeff and let you know what’s going on with my writing life.

So, about your church…

Most of us have been at the same church for a long time.  We join a church for a lot of reasons, the majority of them not really the best.  We join because it’s our parent’s church, it’s the church our wife went to in college, it’s the church your buddy Mark joined when he came out of rehab, it’s the church you drove past the day you first looked at your potential new house, or, it’s the one you went to in need of solace on some dark day in your life and you stayed.

New Hampshire Primary – nah, crowing time! Mozilla Milestone.

Well, I’m going to have to start putting something of value up on this blog now that I’ve finally gotten around to running analytics on it and the visitors.

First, I was wrong about my mommy being the only visitor – over 1000 of you have dropped by and the pace seems to be increasing.  That must mean that I’m doing something right.  Or, mom has told all of her friends and most of them use Mozilla!

Second thing.. I’m going to use more tricks to get people to visit.  Since I despise the thought of being caught doing it, I will limit it to the blatant: cheap and abusively obvious tags and title posts.

Third thing… I promise to do real content.  Yes, there is an essay brewing right now in my feverish little cranium that should stimulate thought. Or, make you question why you came by this joint.

Last item: Thank you.  I am genuinely thrilled to know that people are actually reading this monstrosity!
