More blog updates

I've taken a part of the Thanksgiving holiday to finish updating the Archives of Gen-X Rising. Now when you click on the 'UM Reporter Columns' in the left-hand sidebar, you'll find archived columns stretching back through 2005, which covers almost everything I've written in the United Methodist Reporter.

There are a few glitches that I will try to iron out in the coming days. One very strange one is that my archive section doesn't seem to want to post anything from late December in any year from 2005 to 2007. Not sure why that is happening, but it only cuts out about 3 or 4 total columns. Also, the Reporter's website does not appear to have my first two Gen-X Rising columns online, which were entitled, "Get Ready, Church: Here Come Gen Xers" and "Single with cheese: Are we listening?" I'd like to get those up eventually, because they really serve as the introduction to what I've been trying to do with the column since its inception.

Last month, this blog went over 21,000 unique monthly visitors for the first time. Thanks for reading! I hope to continue to provide the kind of content that will make my readers want to come back regularly. The past two-and-a-half years have been a lot of fun, and I appreciate the feedback you all have given me on the site and its content.

In the mean time, enjoy perusing through the archived Reporter columns. My dual focus as a columnist has always been on a) Writing about issues that concern Gen Xers and Milennials in the church, and b) Writing about theology and ministry from the perspective of a Gen X pastor. I hope I have been able to do both consistently.

Peace +
