Nothing New: Just Another Blogging Monkey

Introduction

Welcome to “Nothing New.” The goal of my blog in the past has been to stimulate discussion about all things related to CBC, the Christian life, and the world at large. But it has recently been hijacked by my cancer and treatment. This means I have to eat some crow (which I hate) because early on I boldly claimed I would not allow my condition to take center stage in my life.

But it is taking center stage on my blog – for a while. I am rather torn about this development. I am uncomfortable making this all about me – because it’s not. It is strangely therapeutic for me to blog about this, however, and I cannot express even a fraction of my appreciation for everyone who reads and leaves their funny, weird, and /or encouraging words in comments and emails.

So please join with me in dialogue. I always look forward to reading your comments. (If you'd like to follow my cancer journey from day 1, please go to my post on 6/25/08 - Life Takes Guts - in the archives and follow the posts upwards from there.)

Just Another Blogging Monkey

By the end of the day today, my humble lil’ blog will have surpassed 2,000 visitors since May 4, 2007. With as much nonsense that I post, it is only appropriate that a Monkey puts me over the top.

Those numbers work out to about 20 hits per day. I’m amazed that many people have any interest whatsoever in what I have to say. Maybe they don’t and I should just thank my mom for checking in a dozen times every day. In any case, thanks to everyone who stops by every now and then. And a special thanks to those who comment on my posts. Stay tuned - more stuff that is nothing new is coming.
