It was two years ago today that I downloaded blog software from the salon server, took a deep breath, and launched Real Live Preacher. Here is my first entry. It seems light-hearted and hopeful to me now. And a little mischievous.
I had no idea what was going to happen.
I've never said anything about my ranking among the salon blogs or my page reads before, but I will say something now. I notice the Salon server says I'm approaching 900,000 visits. That amazes me. Thank you for honoring me with your time and by reading my work. You have encouraged me, challenged me, and most of all given me a motivation to write.
As for the future, we shall see what we shall see. I've given up trying to figure out where this thing is going.
love,
rlp and me
RLP at Covenant Baptist Church - 2004
ps - Check out the comments from that first day. You'll see my first contact from Hugh Elliot, whom I wrote more about here and here and who appeared at the end of this one. Also a tough question up front from The Raven, a now defunct but once popular salon blog. Yeah, in those early days, no one knew quite what to make of the preacher.
