“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13)This is my 1200th post on my blog. Some of them have been long, some short, but in general and in all, between Facebook and the blog, I have written over 650,000 words.
It is hard to believe that I have that many words in me. And it is hard to believe also that the posts could be as diverse as they have been. They have run the gamut from theological to whining to whimsy to philosophical to angry to funny to worthless to worthwhile.
In my second post on January 28, 2010 (my first was nothing more than a sentence to test out the blog in which I said I forgot my coffee), I wrote:
I will feed anyone and help anyone I can. I have promised my Lord that I will not judge and I will proclaim the freedom we as Christians have in Jesus.It has only been a little less than two and a half years since I began and it has become hard to remember that I have not done this for a long time. It is so natural that it is hard to consider that it is relatively new.
My message is freedom. Freedom in Jesus and freedom in his grace.
And coffee. I love the stuff.
One of these days, blogs will cease to be and I would like to have all this somewhere in a bound form to keep. And I like to think I will continue to write.
For the most part, people have received it well. There was this one guy who didn’t like anything and I found out he still reads it occasionally, but in general, when people read it, they liked it.
I have not had the audience I hope to have. One well-known national blogger that I contacted for advice as to how to get people to read this sent me a short sentence in reply”
Write about porn.Well, maybe I will, although I will have to state that I am against it. It seems people Google porn and when they do they would come across this column if I wrote about it.
I do not know that I will, but I do know that with the grace and help of God I will continue to write. And I will continue to proclaim freedom. It is my life and I believe my mandate to do so.
Here’s to 1200 more.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
