This is the 1000th post that I’ve made since beginning this blog back on January 6, 2007. That’s not particularly significant except as a number, but I did want to take the occasion to thank everyone who has stopped by to read my scribblings since this venture began, and to say that I hope it has been a rewarding experience on some level for all. To those who have disagreed with me, I especially want to say that I welcome your disagreements–there have been times when I’ve gotten things wrong, and needed to be corrected, and I appreciate when folks do that in a constructive fashion. I also want to apologize for those times when I’ve gone beyond the bounds of decorous debate and gotten personal in my posts or responses to comments. I strive always to keep my critique of church leaders, theologians, and others in the public square aimed at what I believe are mistaken ideas, information, or policies, rather than aiming at the person, but I know I’ve not always lived up to that standard. Your help in enabling me to keep to that commitment is something I always desire.

Keep coming back, keep reading, keep commenting, and by all means, if you find yourself in northern Virgina some weekend, come visit me and my congregation in Woodbridge (necessary info is in the “About Me” item in the column to the right). I would love to meet you.
