I think a lot of theological discussion out there is written with the assumption that the reader has had the same experiences and exposure as the writer. The audience doesn’t need to be dumbed down, but they do need more relevant background content than the normal blogger provides.

I’ve feared that variety actually imposes a penalty, in that people would like some stuff and get turned off by other stuff. I think the RSS feeds help that somewhat, as people can filter what they want.

Thank you! Keep ‘em coming!

What I like about NR is the variety. Maybe the government posts are interesting, maybe not, but you keep us informed. It’s easy to miss some of the stories you write about because of the busyness of daily life.

The theology stuff is always interesting but are written in such a manner that I feel even a slack jawed yokel could understand them if he breaks out his here dictionary.

As someone who once travel 75% of the time, I know that those who still need to live out of hotel room must certainly appreciate the hotel reviews.

Ditto for your Church visits.

Again, congratulations and keep up the great work!

I anticipate a short hotel review in Anchorage, Alaska, the second half of May, and a review where I stay in Alaska may be my most interesting lodging review ever. As far as church visits, maybe I’ll kick in a couple from the home church in Ohio, and maybe there will be one from Anchorage.

Thanks again!

The two types of posts that I enjoy most are the Church Visits, since they give me insight into what a visitors thinks and sees when they walk in the door. I’m not for church growth crap but I do think we should at least be visitor “pseudo-friendly.”

The second type of post that I really like is your hotel reviews… which is odd because I rarely stay in hotel rooms. I dunno… just something different to read. Again, keep it up!!!
