12/16/07 - Second Anniversary of The Core Blog
Wow... two years. I can't keep a day planner, I can't keep a journal, but apparently I can keep a blog. Go me.
Although I must admit to a smidgen of procrastination on this very post. I started it two days early, and now I'm finishing it two days late. Does that count as being on time?
One year ago I summed up the first year of The Core Blog, and included links to some of my favorites: 12/16/06 - First Anniversary of The Core Blog
Now I'd like to do it again, for the second year's worth of posts. Some of this I enjoyed writing because of the humor, some because the transparency, or the creativity, or because I thought God had just showed me something really ground-breaking. I'll leave it up to you to figure out which is which.
January 11 - "OK, God, this is the part where you tell me what you want me to do."
February 9 - First United Church of Aloe & Watermelon
March 16 - No More Sissy Jesus
April 19 - The All New G-Rated Bible!
May 6 - Church of the Open Mic
June 7 - Third Place
June 21 - A Study in Contrasts
July 4 - So Here I Am
July 18 - The Inclusive Jesus
August 1 - League Leader in Total Conversions
August 14 - Death of a Salesman
August 18 - Evangelism's Code of Conduct
August 29 - Short Skirt/Long Jacket and Proverbs 31
September 27 - Perelandra and the Front Porch
October 4 - Sometimes I Wish I Were a Smoker
October 16 - I Got Soul But I'm Not a Soldier
October 18 - Area Church Makes Its Home In the Clouds
November 7 - A Fashionable Faith
Maybe it's the busyness of the holidays, but my posts since November 7 have not been as memorable. But let me throw one more thing at you, if you're the type that enjoys a good debate. Here are the posts that received 20 or more comments:
February 15 - However and Ever, Amen
February 22 - Publicity Anonymity (or, Stuck in the Middle with You)
April 11 - We Worship You... Almighty Book
June 28 - The Cross and the Bench
October 19 - Turn Your Head and Quaff
You'll notice there's no intersection between these two lists of posts. From what I understand talking to other bloggers, there never is.
Thanks to all of you for reading... even though I can't see you, and usually don't know who you are, your interest in this blog is the reason why it has far outlasted every planner or journal I've ever owned.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Happy Anniversary! I've enjoyed reading your thought provoking blog. Good luck with your new job.
So if the second year runs from 2007 to 2008, does the third year run from 2006 to 2007? I like your creative use of the space-time continuum, and reckon you could use the same method to claim the 18th year of blogdom for the years 1973 to 74. Congratulations!
You made me smile, Anonymous.
But I don't see where I made a mistake. The first year ran from December 16, 2005 to December 16, 2006. So I celebrated the first anniversary, and the first year of the Blog on 12/15/06. The Second Year, then, ended 12/16/07, and that's when I celebrated the second anniversary, and the second year. The THIRD year runs from now, until 12/16/08.
Help me figure out what you're getting at.
so why then does the illustration caption say what it does? Or do you count differently on your side of the globe? I am prepared to accept that we do things strangely in the antipodes...but I don't think that's what's going on here.
OH, THE PICTURE!
Thanks... got it fixed.
