Personal Note

Beginning last month I entered the blog world. I have offered 30 posts since then and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have a stat counter which allows me to gauge the quantity of interest in reading these blogs. That is helpful. What would be even more helpful for me now would be to hear from you. I would love to find out something about you and what keeps you reading a blog here every once in a while. Would you appreciate me addressing a new topic? Would you like more politics/religion/humor/social commentary? What's your critique of this blogsite so far? Are daily postings a good frequency, even necessary? Which posts attracted you the most? Did any bore or, perhaps, offend you? Thank you to those who have commented. I like the dialogue.

Don't hesitate to contact me at:

I'm going to take the weekend off and return with a post on Monday. Blessings to everyone, wherever life may find you.

As I read the posts, I find them vague and philosophical. I am curious to know what prompted you to write about such a topic. Was it standing in line at a local burger shop and someone said something that you were puzzled by, or read an article in the paper that prompted a response or what?

I can't keep up with the blogs daily, but when I can sit to read, catch up so frequency is not an issue.

Religious topics are my bag so I am prone to those, but as a man I once knew said, "A good preacher preaches with the Bible in one hand, and the newspaper in the other." and that is the tie I am looking for.

Not that your blogs need to be sermons, but they sort of already are.

Vague does not sound good. Philosophical? I'm guilty.... Did you have a particular post in mind when wondering where the inspiration came from? They "hit" me throughout the day from a variety of sources.... Either you knew the great German theologian Karl Barth or the man you knew plagiarized the guy with such a quote. My guess is the latter. Hmmm.... Reads like a sermon, smells like a sermon, quacks like a sermon -- must be a sermon! Mea culpa! Thanks for the feedback.
