Dude! you so missed out, It was a sad day when they discontinued the peppermint crisp ones.

Never have I ever walked naked into the living room and incorrectly assumed we had no visitors.

Because:
a) I work with Carla
b) I asked her to reply to my comment and
c) her comment references my lack of posting (although I did post twice today already)

I think her comment should count towards my reply count even though she did not click the reply button :)
Just saying ;)

Ok, so between me and Intense Debate the link in my comment above does not work. Let's try again. http://justplainron.wordpress.com

Well here goes! First a disclaimer. I am a Christian and I blog, having said that I am not sure that qualifies me as a 'Christian Blogger'. While I do blog every now and then about things directly relating to Christianity, it is not the theme for my blog.

About goals for my blog (and I am sure this is going to disqualify me)...

I am not sure how easy it is to set goals for a blog. I can't make people read or comment on my material. I am not sure I even blog for other people, it is more for myself. But, since I started blogging in January of last year, I went through a few months of blogging once a day (sometimes more), and then my second child was born, since then my activity has been sporadic and infrequent.

So I think the big goal for me this year is to regularly post 3 posts a week (I know nothing like setting the bar high (lol).

So go check it out http://justplainron.wordpress.com and if you want to hear more from me, leave a reply (here or there), cause if I win free hosting I will have to post more often (even if it just to assuage some guilt).

The way I understand some of the terminology is as follows:
Visits is the number of times someone goes to your site. Page views are the number of pages they click on while they are there.
Bounce rate is the percentage of people who leave your site without clicking on anything (they bounce right off). so lower is better.

My recent post Caption Please

Nice Post Phil. I will have to get you looking over my shoulder when I take the plunge.

Stupid me! I know it's Nick. I think I must have just been reading "Church of no People" Matt while I waited for the post to load.

Personally (and don't let this go to your head) I like the way you write. The summary tells me "What" you think, but the full post is an indication of "Why". Often the "Why" is more important than the "What".

So if I get a vote I vote for whole posts in the RSS :)

To give you the "Why" I like to read your stuff... I see a lot of myself in you. I am also about your age, married, I have two young girls (8mo and 3yo), am a geek, Christian and was a youth pastor for a number of years. I understand a lot of you frustrations and can celebrate your victories. And somehow this gives me a fuller picture of who I am.

So thanks for being you (Nick not Matt :) ) and for communicating so transparently.

There where a number of costume clashes before the village people formalized who was wearing what.
