Who are you?
August 20, 2004
I often wonder about the 600-700 people who end up at this blog every day. Who are they? How did they find it? Did they stay, look around, or just realize it wasn’t what they wanted? What do they do for a living? Etc., etc. So, I’m leaving town this morning to go speak at a family camp in Idaho, and while I’m gone, I’m hoping that each person who visits this blog will leave a comment with the following information so I can get a feel for who is coming and finding my blog. THERE WILL BE PRIZES (although we already gave them away) so make sure to fill everything out so I can award them! To have a chance at getting your prize……

How did you find my blog initially?: Met you at the Allelon weekend. You used my powerbook to check your blog and I found it in my browser history.
Most creative reason for coming and checking my blog: You inspire me! If the Presbies can handle having a wild-bearded beer-drinker like you in their midst, then I have a chance with them.
Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!): The brag the youth seem to find most impressive is that I got to watch a pre-screening of Schindler’s List with Spielberg after spending the day with him.

Most creative reason for coming and checking my blog:
To see what I might have been doing at your age had I stayed involved with my church and denomination after high school. I’m planning to go to seminary next year but I kind of got lost for about 5 or 6 years during college and grad school. The kind of youth work and stuff you do reminds me of when I wanted to do that kind of thing. Plus, I just like your take on life, faith, etc.
Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!):
Once I found myself again, I’ve gone from someone who just worked, surfed the net, and went out to the bar every night with my friends to smoke and drink, to someone who is married to an incredible man, lives a much healthier lifestyle, has been chair of the local peace and justice group while it was active, is currently a board member, lay leader, music leader and social action chair at one church and regular attender, friend, and possibly reader in the near future at another church, and is the local political organizer for my preferred candidates campaigns this year. Sorry that was such a big brag, but the way my life has been transformed by my faith in the past two years is something to brag about!
Sorry I didn’t introduce myself sooner.

How did you find my blog initially?: I believe you gave me the address for it as I was finishing up my internship with you.
Most creative reason for coming and checking my blog: I’m always wanting to see what you’re up too. There aren’t nearly enough liberals in the Presbyterian church, so I’m glad you’re involved in it. You’re going into ministry even though you’re not the biggest fan of the church. That’s awesome! The best way to change comething is from the inside. Aside from that, I just really like what you have to say.
Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!): I play 18 instruments and am still learning…I think that must make me a nerd more than anything else but the only things I could think of were…the other thing I thought of is that many of my friends use me as there own personal library because I own so many books and have read most of them several times so I know them well enough to suggest them. They tell me what they need to reasearch or what type of book they want to read for fun and often times I know exactly which books they need and have them to lend to them

I found your blog by searching for information on AntiHell clothing. You had written something about AntiHell in Boise and stuff. I’ve occasionally come back just to read about stuff because it’s interesting to see what happens in the life of random strangers. For more of the same, check out my URL for my blog.
My biggest brag is that today I rode some 20 miles on my bicycle up to a lake on the side of a mountain. There was a section where the road went up for 8 miles straight.

Your blog is my stress reliever tonight; we are planning a Christian music festival tomorrow and I’m not thrilled with the lack of organizational skills there. Luckily, I’m in charge of feeding the bands so I just hang out with rock stars all day and eat free food!

This is my first time to your site, however, I agree with everyone else, you are a very good writer. I will be coming back and reading more often.
I’m not sure what my best brag would be. I want Kevin’s brag, can I pretend to be a teenager and be impressed with that one? I guess my best brag would have to be that God blessed me with two of the most awesome kids a mom could ask for.

How did you find my blog initially?: Ha, ha. Another good question. I was browsing the net for some inner-city ministry opportunities in Edmonton and I found Jer Olson’s blog which linked me on over to yours. I remember the first thing I saw was a picture of you and a mother of cigar sticking out of your mouth. I read the title “Musings of a Sojourner” and thought, “OK, I have to at least read what this guy is about.”
Most creative reason for coming and checking my blog: Uh… you’re a whacky, creative, incredibly weird guy in ministry. You have very interesting thoughts about life.

We just moved here (3 days ago!) to help set up a sister church here in Spokane, but the building isn’t done yet, so we’ll be headed to Post Falls for Vespers and Liturgy this weekend. I typed in “Post Falls” and “Orthodox”, and voila! Here I am at your page.
Most creative reason for coming and checking my blog:
We (hubby and I) tried to find the church last night, but got lost, so I was double checking of the address on it. I would say that’s probably the most unusual reason anyone ended up here! :-)
Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!): I once ziplined over the rainforests of Costa Rica. It was an awesome experience!

brag…
i dug a hole in a beach in eastern new zealand (north island) where there was a hotspring underneath. i saw a sunset drinking good shiraz out of a bottle with a bunch of kiwis and one cute german, all sitting in this natural hottub. so there! riding a camel in morroco also a high point in my travels.

Lying awake one night (actually more like sitting), I was suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to read a blog. But not just any blog. The blog had to be speaking of what it means to be the Church, and have musings on postmodernism. I gathered that this was a good choice of name to start such a search, though the details beyond that elude me.
I’ve opened for such musicians as D.C.Talk, Audio Adrenaline, David and the Giants, WhiteHeart, WhiteCross, Goeff Moore and the Distance, Christafari, but now I run away at their mention. Also, I’ve recorded national worship artist David Hunter’s last 3 albums, and MorningStar’s Matthew Donovan’s last live album. I write articles for the “spiritual things” section of an international underground music magazine. I’m also a penguin as well as an elephant, in the mysterious world of the moose with the typewriter - but that would take quite a long time to explain.

I found your blog (took me forever what the term “blog” refers to) one day when i was looking to get some info on antihell clothing. a friend had one of their shirts and i wanted to see what they were all about and your article or whatever was on the search engine.
i keep coming back because i’m still trying to figure out where my thoughts fit in with this whole postmodern thing and instead of just reading about it in books, it’s interesting to hear comments and ideas and thoughts from people who are trying to live it out

Most creative reason for checking my blog: Hi, my name is Dana, and I’m addicted to reading about other people’s lives online. ;) Plus, you never know if your next post will be some deep theology or some crazy bloody tongue game…
Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!): Speaking of tongues, not only can I do the twisty tongue thing, but I can also flip mine all the way over, both ways! ;)
August 22nd, 2004 at 6:41 pm
Nice ploy for getting comments. ;) But seriously, it’s very interesting to examine the demographics of the people who frequent your blog: most in their 20s and 30s, some into their 40s; a lot of people in the ministry, but people in many other professions as well; some friend-readers and some reader-friends. Very intruiging.
Anyway, now that I’m typing I might as well answer your questions. Just following the crowd.

You told me about your blog (and about the whole book-plan you and Tony had going…funny the direction this ended up going). And then you coerced me into starting my own.
I guess I keep coming back for the same reason most people do: curiousity. I just never know what I’ll find.
Bragging. Hmm: I knew you before the blog. What else: I went gliding (planes without enginges) in Northumberland, England. I rode a mechanical bull for 21 seconds. (Try it; it’s harder than it looks.)

I am not sure how I found your blog. It was quite some time ago on someones blogroll.(quite possibly Michael Toy’s) Your blog name caught my eye. We have passed eachother a few times at the emergent convention in nashville. I was in the church planting course with you.
I feel bad now that I didn’t stop you and say hello.
I read your blog because seminary is of interest to me and will enjoy you hopefully blogging more about your conversations and experiences.

However, I do recall meeting you well over a year ago at a candlelight peace vigil in the city park, where I didn’t have a candle. I do find your rantings quite amusing, since they are all things that I have thought for quite some time. That’s about it.

Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!):
I once read the first 4 Harry Potter books in a day and a half (before the fifth came out). I’m a bit of a speed reader, actually. It comes in handy for recreational reading, but for class it’s a bit of a hassle because I have to read things twice to make sure I’ve understood it.

Your best brag (your chance to just brag about yourself…the best thing…c’mon!): this only sounds interesting when i’m in theme parks and waiting in line for roller coasters, but anyway, here goes: i was the first guy (besides the roller coaster engineers and park employees themselves), to ride on the first car of the Rattler roller coaster (at the time the tallest, fastest wooden roller coaster) in Fiesta Texas theme park in San Antonio. It was for a publicity photoshoot and they were taking sandbags out of the cars as we entered into the shoot. they’ve since tamed the roller coaster by lessening the first drop, which is sad. anyway, like i said…
