Besides rain in Southern California, the news of my blog (Rich Kirkpatrick’s Weblog) winning “Best Religion Blog” from the World Media Awards was a surprise. Some of you nominated me for this and the panel of prestigious bloggers and media people who chose this blog make it a humbling and affirming moment. The real value of this blog is the fact that I get to have a conversation with real people that otherwise might not be facilitated.
Thank you readers, stalkers and fellow bloggers for being a part of this conversation on faith and culture for creatives, leaders, and influencers!

Unique “visitors” to my blog this past year:

Merry Christmas! My blog is closing as far as new content the next days, although I will be here to answer any comments.
I cannot wait to reconnect in some IRL (in real life) interactions over the next few days or so. I thank you my readers, lurkers and friends for being a part of the community online.
Here is a picture of my family. I send a blessing to you on your celebration of the Advent of Jesus. The Incarnation of Jesus is the greatest miracle. Without it, there is no Son of Man. There is no cross and resurrection.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
that the blind will see,
that the oppressed will be set free,
and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.
Luke 14:18-19 (NLT)
