One Year Blogiversary to “Chasing the Wind”

Posted by Michael on April 27th, 2005 filed in The Blog

One year today, I started blogging. And I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to say or who I wanted to say it to. Today, as a mature blogger, fully one year old, I can fully say with confidence that I still don’t have any idea.

Not that it matters - I’ve discovered I just enjoy writing. A creative outlet, an outreach and faith outlet, a ranting outlet, a bizarre fling-a-cat sort of outlet. And after 764 posts and 54,000 visitors since April 27, 2004 making 2,825 comments, I’m still writing posts on everything that crosses my brain.

Thanks to all of y’all that keep stopping by and leaving comments and encouraging me. It’s your comments that make this fun. :)

    I pray God’s Holy Spirit will continue to use you and your web site to open the hearts and minds of those needing HIM. Every seed is an important one, I can attest to that!

    Wow! Hard to believe that was just a year ago. You went from “bloguer” to full fledged blogger very quickly. Took you no time at all to find your voice and with it your audience. Thanks for sharing all the fun and faith.

    Here’s to many, many more years of Chasing!
