Fellow travelers,
It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years since the first post on this blog, “42 is Not the Answer”. Thank you to everyone who has been reading along, and especially to those who comment and share!
Looking back on my 1-year and 2-year blogiversary posts, here are some thoughts on how things have gone in year 3:
- I posted 229 times since the last blogiversary, compared with 333 over the prior 2 years combined. Now that I have a library of old posts, I’ve been mixing a lot of those in with new ones to try and post more consistently. I’ve been slow recently, but at one point I had a 95-day streak!
- I wanted to do more posts on history, holidays, groups of quotes, and other thiings like book reviews, but found these hard to come up with (other than the quotes). Sometimes these (especially the history ones) depend on what I’m reading, and it just hasn’t worked out.
- I wrote last year that serial posts don’t work well, since I can’t know what order people are reading things in, or how WordPress will organize things. So, I’ve been taking some of my older serial posts, editing them, and re-posting as stand-alones. It’s been a good source of “new” material.
I continue to “consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,”[1] and hope to continue writing for many more years! However, as James wrote, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”[2] Only God knows where this blog will go, but above all, I hope to follow where He leads faithfully.
Thank you for coming along for the ride
