    I started reading probably back in year 1. I think Zach Tanksley told me about it, but I read because of our RL relationship and discussions!

    Oh wow Rich…how’d I find you? I don’t really remember. I’m sure it should be credited to either Fred or Alex? I think we were pre-Twitter. Haha. Isn’t that hilarious how that’s now a landmark. But I could be wrong in that though. I do know you’re in my like Top 5 people to meet IRL as you say. B/c I not only know it’d be incredibly beneficial but a ton of fun!
    I hope you get 100 comments man b/c I’m sure you have WAY more than that in lurkers :)

    You’re certainly refreshing and a great inspiration. I’m definitely looking forward to when we meet up at some point and i get to hang w/ you!

  • Victor Estrada

    Rich, congrats on 1000! That’s awesome.

    Well let me see, I think I found you a million years ago through Carlos when you were interviewed for like the first Podcast. I’ve been following you ever since. Thanks for all your words of wisdom and all your insights.

  • http://twitter.com/PuyMan Allen Puy

    Well, I’ve been following you onTwitter since we met at NWLC09, brother. And I do still hope to set up a blog myself some time, as you’d asked when we chatted this summer…but nnothing so far. So, congratulations on 1000 posts, and keep them coming!

  • http://churchaudio.blogspot.com JB

    I found your blog when I first met you a few years ago. You were the one that got me into blogging. So I guess I owe it all to you!! Hope I’m still going to reach my 1000th post.

  • http://www.journeyofworship.com Chris Gambill

    Hey, Rich

    Probably through Fred’s Sunday Setlists, or maybe another link list…I don’t exactly remember, but I’ve enjoyed your thoughts and insights. Blessing on the next 1,000 posts!

  • http://blog.alexandari.com Jennifer

    I’m pretty sure I found you via twitter… although I think an old friend of mine is on your worship team, so that may have been it too. Or it could have been Fred’s Sunday Setlist roundup… I’m not really sure it was so long ago!

    I’ve been enjoying it though – thanks for the thought-provoking posts AND the fun ones! Here’s to another 4 years…

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1129867263 John Voelz

    Jesus told me about your blog. He started following it about a year ago. His Google Alerts popped it up–apparently you said some things about him.

  • http://www.facebook.com/barrywestman Barry Westman

    I’m pretty sure I heard about your blog for the first time last summer at the National Worship Leader’s Conference. Thanks for all you do!
