AmP passes a couple significant markers today.

I began blogging in earnest around early January of this year (by which I mean writing for other people besides my friends). Around August I realized I might pass these two markers by the end of theyear ... and even with my blogging hiatus these past two weeks or so we've still made it well before Christmas, let alone New Year's.

So, to everyone who has made AmP a regular part of their online reading this year - Thank You! It's the best Christmas present you guys could have given me. :-)

I would also be remiss if I didn't say that your constant kind words and emailed encouragement - and most of all - your prayers, have helped me more than you'll ever know. God Bless and keep you.

Grace & Peace,

- Thomas Peters

P.S. If anyone is interested in "AmP trivia", this post was the one that first got me excited about blogging for other people. I loved the little mp3 tune very much and found myself wanting to share it with other people, so, on a whim, I sent the post to a few of the bigger Catholic blogs and they were kind enough to post it. That day a couple hundred people visited the site (a staggering number to my mind) and listened to the tune ... I was hooked. :-)
