(5/31/26: Feast of the Visitation)
Once again, this milestone snuck up on me.
Over the course of 14 years I've made 2,953 posts to this blog. I'm sure there are many who would call this a waste of time. Other would call it an incredible waste of time (apologies for stealing a Conan O'Brien joke). But I have found a great sense of satisfaction from my writings here.
I hope I have been insightful, witty, and interesting. If I have failed in this department, I do apologize. I do write with you, Dear Reader, in mind. You take the time to read this blog when you could be doing anything else, so I want to honor that sacrifice of time that you make by giving you something worthwhile to read.
Much has happened in the last 14 years. Since beginning this blog:
-my mother and both of my remaining grandparents passed away (God rest their souls)
-my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away (God rest their souls)
-one of my best friends passed away from cancer (God rest his soul)
-my wife and I weathered some rough employment situations
-I broke my back and had surgery 4 times.
-I became a godfather twice
-I was asked to write for NewEvangelizers.Com
-I've produced 15 more movies
-I've written, directed, and produced two plays and one musical.
-I got a second Master's Degree
-I finished my third year of Diaconate Formation.
This last one has taken up a good deal of my time this past year, the result of this is that I have written less here this year than in years past. I hope to be able to find the proper balance to keep writing, if that is God's will.
And there may be new possibilities on the horizon.
All of this occurring during the tumultuous times we've lived through like COVID.
Through it all, I tried to write here regularly. And now after 14 years, I've produced:
-398 Film Reviews
-126 Essays
-Nearly 350 New Evangelizers Articles
-14 Years of the Best and Worst of Movies, TV, and Comics.
Together we raised money for charity. We've prayed together. And hopefully we also laughed together.
Thank you again, Dear Reader, for taking this journey with me. I pray that we will continue to walk this path of faith, film, and philosophy for many years to come.
God Bless You All!
