Dynamic view
If you are a reader of many blogs then you may come to find different sites to be poorly designed. This blog is one of those blogs.
If you have a desire to read a blog (even this one) in a more dynamic or interesting way, then you may want to try dynamic viewing. I use it when I am viewing photo heavy blogs and it generates a greater creativity.
Just a note, that you will need to have Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome or Safari. Many elements of these views will not work should you have an older browser.
If you have a browser that can handle dynamic views, then click the link below and see this blog in a more dynamic way.

Another's thoughts
Much has been written about the Pew study which looks at American's knowledge of religion. Here is a recent commentary that was shared with me by my friend, Neil. In case you have not gotten enough of the conversation yet.
By the way, bonus points if you can honestly share/know (that is without using Google) the answer to "What is the doctrine of the immaculate conception?"

One year ago...
A year ago I installed software on this blog that tracks different bits of information from the number of visits it gets in a day to the amount of people who use Firefox or Internet Explore to view the site. These "analytics" are interesting to me and really fuel my ego.
A year ago today this site had 11 visits. All of those visits were from computers in Texas and 5 of those visits were people who had visited the site at least once before. Here is a link to what those 11 people saw that day:
Fast forward a year and, according to the same analytic software, yesterday (I do not have the full report for today) this same site had 49 visitors from 7 different states (TX, CA, PA, AR, OK, NC, and NY) and 12 of those people had never visited before.
For those of you still reading, what I want to share is a humble thank you. These numbers are noting to write home about but I am overwhelmed that anyone (much less 50 people) would, in the middle of their day, log on to read and sometimes comment on the garble that I post here.
So thank you for taking the time to read and respond. Thank you for willing to engage this blog even if most of you are family and close friends. Thank you for reminding me that everyone is more influential than we each think.
