1. At least 10 other bloggers are saying the same thing. I am not nearly as “cutting edge” as I thought I was.
2. There is nothing new under the Sun. I have found that people were writing and developing a “rural church” vision before I was born. Their books and articles have been invaluable.
3. I will offend someone no matter how unoffensive I try to be.
4. Nuance does not translate well through the blog sphere.
5. People reach “Rural Route Church” with funny searches like. . .”looking for a real cowboy”.
6. Vanity can be measured by how many times one checks his/her “stats”.
7. People like their point of view. Really!
8. Having the ability to edit or even delete people’s comments is a very good thing.
9. Always check your facts before taking someone to task. Embarrassing apologies could follow in the wake of a hasty post.
10. There are a lot of people who are sincere in their desire to follow God’s call to a rural route somewhere. I’m just glad some of them were able to stop by here every once in a while.
