Today (5/7/15) marks two years of blog posts here at AKnappforthat.  Thanks for tuning in today.

I’ve been able to do a post most days, and the categories continue to be helpful. The counts so far, by category:

Clean Jokes:                                       301

Cool Numbers:                                  122

Fear and Awe:                                   72

Gospel Messages:                           79

Group Prayer:                                   67

Holy Lists:                                            90

This I Know:                                        75

Two or More Categories:              11

The numbers make some sense.  Jokes are generally Tuesday, Thursday (but not today), and Saturday, so there are more of them.  Every Sunday is about the cool number dates in the upcoming week.  I quit applying the Two or More Categories label after the first year, so I should get rid of that one.  And the other five are about the same – Holy Lists has the most because it is the easiest one to write in a hurry!

When I started I thought I could fill up the days with wonderful, heart-warming stories of my youth (This I Know).  But it turns out there is not much to say about me, and there is a tremendous amount of material when writing about God (all the other ones!).  As John famously says in his gospel, “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did.  Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written” (verse 21.25).
