Hey – everyone else is doing it, so shouldn’t I? No, but I was curious anyway.
Since today is the first day of the New Year, I decided to take a look back at posts from this past year. In all, there were over 9,600 clicks on specific posts on this blog. (When you add in 2008 numbers, we topped 10,000 individual clicks!)
The number one post? Marie Osmond’s “Christian” CD! To be honest, I was pretty surprised. Not only did it receive the most hits, it was more controversial than I expected. A number of people chimed in who were quite angry with me for doubting her faith. (To be clear, it wasn’t her faith I doubted, it was the “Christian” part that made me wonder. And, by the way, I am still waiting for answers to my questions…)
The second highest clicked post was Who is Lay Renewal Ministries? Of course, that made me very happy. It’s the reason we started the blog in the first place! Keep clicking on that one and let us know how we can serve!
The third and fifth posts were both related to VBS in 2009: Vacation Bible School in 2009 and VBS 2009. If you add together the various VBS posts, VBS was tops. We look forward to seeing what VBS 2010 receives and – more importantly – how we can serve you with these DISCOUNTED resources in the New Year!
The number four post was Tourette’s Syndrome – My Testimony as the Dad. In fact, that post was also slightly rewritten as an “Opinion Shaper” column in the St. Louis Post Dispatch West County Journal. It was an incredible blessing to see it reach an even greater audience and to hear back from so many people. Other TS postings were very popular – including a few about Tim Howard (a soccer – or “football” player) with TS. Many people were searching for information about him.
Anyway – that’s the Top Five. We’ll see what the New Year brings!
Thanks for reading. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for emailing.
Yours in Christ,
Marty
