Winners have been notified . . .

The 20 winners of the Hurray-New-Website Contest have been notified. If you didn’t receive an email from me, I’m sorry, but you didn’t win this time. Maybe some other time.

I hope this website can be of such benefit and blessing that it will overcome your disappointment.

Results coming

Thank you for your overwhelming response to my subscribe-and-enter contest.

I’ll announce the winners as soon as I get some help with choosing randomly from my son Abraham. (Usually I don’t need help with randomness).

Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God

New year, new website

To old friends, welcome to the new look of the blog you already know. Use the links in the heading above to wander around and discover how much more is here than just blog.

To newcomers, I hope you’ll stay and become friends.

You never can tell what I’ll be thinking about when you come back. You might find stories about the care of God’s creation in Kenya, or about Christ-centered traditions. You might catch up with our adoption story or my all-out war with personal chaos. And sometimes I’ll be hoping you’re ready for some silliness.

I’m still working on some details like categorizing old posts, but I’m eager to connect with you here already.

I hope you’ll all subscribe, either by RSS or by email. That way you’ll know every time there’s a new blog entry.

For example, you don’t want to miss the next post. That’s when I’ll tell you about the Hurray-New-Website contest and how to enter.

I’m thankful to God for the ones who created this website:

Matt Taylor for designing the site.

Josh Sowin for building the site.

Abraham Piper for overseeing the project and using simple words to tell me what I needed to do.
