On my blog, 2015 was a very blessed year. I surpassed 2014 with 168,571 views in 2015 and 116,265 visitors. I published 130 blog posts, the least amount of posts over the last few years, but since I my writings are frequently on New Advent as well as Big Pulpit, and now, Catholic Exchange, the reach of my blog has been extended to many others. Thank you to the editors of these sites – Kevin Knight, Tito Edwards, and Michael Lichens.
Another blessing that happened this year was that my first published book came out in September through Emmaus Road Publishing – Understanding Catholic Teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. As I write my weekly blog posts, I am working on two other manuscripts, both which derive from writings on my blog. I hope to share those with you in the near future.
Thank you for the support and prayers this year that you have provided me and my family. I hope that you continue to read my blog and share it with others throughout 2016.
