Next month will mark the twenty-first anniversary of our blog. Happy anniversary to us! I began this little adventure way back on Thursday, November 13, 2003.
Back then I averaged maybe 4-5 posts a day. Today I post less frequently but my posts are longer now than they were then. One of my big concerns when I began this blog was that it would so "eclectic" that people would quickly lose interest. So far that hasn't turned to be much of a problem. I am still trying to write as though this was my daily journal (which it is, in a way), which is why I deal with all sorts of things. Please remember: I try to write in such a way as to encourage and excite readers about their own personal study of the Scriptures. That has always been my ultimate goal. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the emails I get from complete strangers telling me that a post I wrote was something that motivated them to either begin or continue daily Bible reading. Without those letters of affirmation I would not be nearly as energized about this blog as I am. Let me extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who take the time to read what I write, and especially to my former personal assistant, Rodolfo Giantaglia, for designing my new blog here on Blogger. Here's hoping that in the coming days and months and maybe even years DBO will continue to deal with issues and themes that encourage and inspire hope.
Thank you and God bless,
Dave
