The One Year Blog-o-versary: A Look Back

Today is the one year "blog-o-versary" of St. Stephen's Musings.

I have really come to enjoy how blogging, interacting with all of my readers and friends, and thinking more deeply about the Faith have all come together in one forum. I was a reader of blogs for many months before I ventured into the fray myself last fall. I think my wife got tired of hearing about all the things I wanted to write in response to other blogs, so she urged me to start my own. Here we are a year later!

As someone who enjoys writing and thinking, blogging has given me a way of sharpening my writing skills and has provided an invaluable way of disciplining my mind and my heart. Thanks to all of you who have made this year one of real growth and insight for me. Pray for me as I pray for you.

My posting with be spotty this weekend with holiday and family festivities coming up. So I offer you the past. Below are a few links to what I consider to be some of my more interesting, memorable, and in some cases, provocative posts. Enjoy!
