1,000th Blog, 1,000 Thank You’s

Congratulations, JUST ONE MORE readers, we have reached a major milestone in our blogging.  My webmaster, Jonathan “I Can Do That” Howe tells me we have reached blog #1,000 today on August 30, 2010.  For all those who hang in there with us, 1,000 thank you’s!

Check out just how far we have come from our first blog of April 15, 2006:

JOIN US FOR A VERY SPECIAL EASTER…

Those were the words typed across the placard attached to my receipt last Friday night after Vonda and I enjoyed a quiet meal with some friends.

The sub-print on the card read:

Easter Sunday is right around the corner.

Have you made plans yet?

Space is limited.

Make your reservations today.

Read the above phrases one more time.  Only this time read them through the eyes of the New Testament.  The restaurant’s invitation sounds more like an evangelistic appeal than it does a request for a busy afternoon meal.

Sometimes the world does a better job of advertising than the church.  Perhaps if the church treated their customers (the pre-Christians) with more care we would see people waiting in line to join us for worship.

Wow, compelling stuff, isn’t it?  Give me a break.  I was just learning how to blog.  Blogging 101 was not a course requirement either time I was in seminary.  It was hit or miss on my topics, and many will say mostly miss.

The landscape of blogging has changed dramatically since April, 2006, and it will continue to change.  As long as the Lord will allow us, we plan to continue posting blogs on this page each week. So, thank you 1000 times over.  Thank you for reading.  Thank for commenting.  Thank you for following.
