My Top Posts of 2021

I continue to write and seek to express myself and hopefully encourage others along the way too.

This past year has seen my writing develop in different ways, and less so on this blog than I would’ve liked. I’ve been taken up with writing more sermons due to an increased teaching role at my church. And, one of the unique writing projects I completed this year was a weekly review focussed on Supercoach (fantasy AFL) during the footy season. This meant that time and dedication to writing in this space dissipated from previous years. And to be honest, another year of lockdowns had an affect on this too.

Nevertheless, I continue to commit myself to writing. I find it is the best way for me to express myself and to find clarity of thought. It’s also an enjoyable experience to have written, to finally hit publish on a post about an idea that I’ve been mulling away on for a while.

Having only posted 13 times in the past 12 months you’d think people would simply stop reading the articles and posts I have here. However, this hasn’t been the case. There are still a number of popular posts that continue to have traction with people, which is certainly pleasing as a writer! It seems that I had about the same amount view this blog as I did last year, which is to say just over 9200 hits all up.

As to what has been popular this past year, here are the top five posts for 2021:

  1. God’s Love Expressed: Through The Cross
  2. The Lord of The Lockdowns (published in 2021 and on TGCA)
  3. Martin Luther On Complete Forgiveness of Christ
  4. My Theological Library
  5. 11 Things: The Senior Pastor-Youth Pastor Relationship

Published: SuperCoach Weekend Wrap | Round One

I’ve been playing AFL SuperCoach for around 12-13 years now. It’s a fun little hobby of mine that happens during the AFL season. I take it more seriously that I probably should, but in the process have made some good connections and had some traditional rivalries with mates. And let’s be honest, it’s a good bit of wholesome fun.

For a long time I’ve been a keen listener of the Coaches Panel podcast, and a reader of their regular posts. I’m also a patreon member for the Coaches Panel too, which just shows I take it all too seriously. For the uninitiated, this means I pay them money to support them, they give me patreon-only access to their content.

But…the big news this week is that I’ve started writing for them. I’ve begun a series that will come out on a Monday (or when the round finished) giving a SuperCoach wrap-up from the weekend just gone. It’s a bit of fun and a new writing avenue, and I’m looking forward to having a good play around with the content I provide through it. If you’re a SuperCoach player, come on over and have a read. The weekend wrap-up for round one was published a few days ago.
