My 1,000TH Blog Post

Greetings my friends. It’s Wednesday January 25TH 2023, and as the title suggests – this is my 1,000TH blog post – since my January 2018 restart here on WordPress. (I published another 1,321 blog posts from 2007 to 2012 – mostly between 2008 and 2010.)

Between the two WordPress eras I posted my blogs over on my Facebook site – with mixed results. I discovered that most people on Facebook – even family and friends – don’t feel like reading blog posts that take a couple of minutes to read. If you’re here on WordPress – then you expect to read blog posts, so here we are.

After I ended my blog on Facebook on New Year’s Eve at the end of 2017 I thought that would be the end of it all, but here we are now with my 1,000TH blog post since then.

I know that this blog has a large robotic readership. The bots tend to “like” my blog posts from many months ago to several years ago to even 15 years ago. But I also have a nice worldwide audience out there of real people who look forward to each new entry whether it be #TravelThursday, or #RetroFriday, or #SundayScripture, or #Top10Monday.

I look forward to writing each new blog post, and I’m happy that you find them interesting enough to keep coming back for more. Thank You for your loyalty. Thank You for spending a couple of minutes with me 4 times per week.

#TravelThursday is up next in less than 24 hours. I hope that you’ll check it out sometime during the day tomorrow.

Welcome To My Blog

Greetings my friends. It’s Wednesday November 30TH 2022, and with this special edition I begin a new weekend of blog posts. It’s also the 15TH anniversary of my blogging here on the WordPress platform. (I moved over here from Myspace.)

Normally I publish new blog posts 4 times per weekend – on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays at 0300 U.S. east coast time. (That’s 0800 in the United Kingdom and 0900 across much of Europe where many of you are reading this from.)

Each day has its own unique theme. My Thursday posts center on travel. My Friday posts center on retro music from years gone by. My Sunday posts center on Scripture and the Gospel. My Monday posts center on current Christian pop music. So my hashtags are #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

A few times per year I publish occasional special posts on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (like today). It all adds up to over 200 blog posts per year. Each blog post is about a 2-to-4 minute read.

If you’re new here – then I welcome you to my blog. Thank You for checking it out. You may have clicked on my link on Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr. Perhaps Google or Feedspot sent you here awhile back, and you’ve been returning on a regular basis. Maybe you only read my posts on #TravelThursday, or you’re only interested in my Gospel messages on Sundays. Either way I’m glad you’re here. This is a no-judgement zone. This is also a political-free space online. There’s plenty of judgement and politics elsewhere. There’s a lot of hate in this world. I try to shine light and bring love into this world.

Feel free to comment with relevance on any post. You can also reach out to me on Twitter @ChrisMDay. Some of you have your own blogs that I check out on a regular basis. Keep doing what you do. Keep blogging alive !

I’ve been blogging since 2007, and really I was blogging for 14 years before that via my own dial-up bulletin board system (BBS) and its spinoffs on the early World Wide Web of the late-1990s into the early-2000s. It’s my favorite hobby online. But I can get too much of a good thing; hence, the typical 4-post-per-week schedule.

#TravelThursday is up next in less than 24 hours. I hope that you’ll check it out sometime during the day tomorrow.

Friday Night Blogroll Review

Greetings My Friends,

It’s Friday night, so you know what that means here on the big blog:

Pastor Travis shares a frightening picture of Casey.

My favourite blogger in the entire world is LL Phil J. His daily blog has a status of ‘can’t miss’ as far as I’m concerned. This cat reminds me of me more than anyone else I know. It’s always a (fun) chore trying to pick out my favourite blog entry of the week from his blog. I know this is repetitive, but you’ve just gotta check out his ‘Thought Bearing Lobster‘ from this past Thursday. His ‘Thoughts’ on Thursdays are pretty much his version of my long-running flagship series on this blog – the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. I adore his Thursday ‘Thoughts’ !

Jesse ponders about who his friends are.

Ritz reveals how Internet surfers find his blog.

Rebecca does the same as Ritz, but she did it two days earlier.

Birthdays are a BIG deal at Luci’s house, and as usual water is involved.

Gricelda reports on the start of Youth Camp for our emerging leaders at Life Pointe Church.

I got a brief mention on David C.’s ‘Sunday’ report from Life Pointe Church. In it I am ‘vacuuming the carpet’. Thank You David for the keen observation of the week !
