Mid-Week Ramblings

It has been one of those days. Not a bad day, thankfully – just a busy one. I booked a good chunk of work today, so that should help keep me busy in the near future and pay the bills for another week or two. Ah, the joys of self-employment!

Thanks to everyone who clicked over to Read ‘Em & Reap yesterday. I think at least 50 or 60 people clicked their way over, which was awfully nice.

I have noticed a lot of visitors coming to this site after searching for the term 40 Days of Community. I checked it out and it seems my site is the second link in all the major engines for that particular term. Of course the first result is Warren’s site, but I’m right there behind him. I guess that explains some of the traffic and also explains why there has been quite a bit more discussion about that topic in the forums.

That reminds me that a long time ago I had one of the top search results for Passion of the Christ and even today if you look at my site’s traffic statistics you can see this massive spike in traffic for those few days. The spike was big enough that I was probably getting something like 10 times the usual amount of traffic. But as seems to happen, I began to fall down the results and eventually ended up far enough back that not many people find it anymore. Of course the current interest in 40 Days of Community is not nearly as big as the interest in the movie was.

David over at He Lives is posting his ongoing lessons on church history. If that is an interest if yours, you might want to click on over there and take a gander.

If you are at all interested in American politics, which for some reason I am (despite the fact that I live north of the border) you might enjoy listening to this. It’s a funny little “commercial” explaining why John Kerry cares about your interests in this election. It will help you understand why he continues to be presented with pairs of flip-flops. And that is about as political as I will be on this site! And heck, even if you like Kerry, it’s still a funny piece.

That’s it from me for today. I still have lots of work to do today and time is rapidly ticking away. I’ve got something I’m writing for tomorrow, so I’ll see you back here then!

    The Hands and Feet of the Bible

    The Bible has life and the Bible brings life because it has been spoken by God. The Bible’s life, its voice, its feet, and hands are the life, voice, feet, and hands of God extended toward his people. For that reason among others it is always worthy of our time, our attention, and our dedication.
