To Celebrate Over 1 Million Page Views
since my sister-in-law showed me how to add at site meter to my blog, I'd like to invite the readers to introduce themselves. Regulars who have introduced yourselves before, feel free to introduce again or not, but if you've never stepped out of the shadows before, here's your chance to be bold, de-lurk, and tell us a bit about yourself!

I'm Sue, from Salem, OR, 4th generation member of St. John Lutheran Church. I found your blog on cyberbrethren (don't remember how I found that one!)this past spring. I have found your and Pastor McCain's blogs very inspiring, as well as thought-provoking. They came into my life when I was going through a bad time. God has used your words to remind me of what's really important, at a time when I especially needed it.
Hi Pr Weedon!
I've delurked before, so I will reintroduce myself...
I'm Laura from Ohio. I found yourself over a year ago when I googled "Quotes Early CHurch Fathers". I found your cache of Patristic Quotes and I've been reading ever since.
Thank you for your faithful ministry both in your real Parish and your virtual one.
May God continue to bless you and yours.
Laura.
Didn't you just do this, dad?
Not too long ago, hon. But I KNOW there are others out there who've not introduced themselves before and I look for an opportunity to invite them each time the meter hits a significant number.
The hair was fabulous, by the way. She won't let me post pics yet though... :(
I’m Jason from the Twin Cities. I’m Orthodox but appreciate the clarity that Luther brings to the gospel (http://jpschock.wordpress.com/2009/01/03/why-luther/), which is also why I’m a fan of Fr. Weedon. [Please note, I’m neither attempting to convert anyone to Orthodoxy or seeking to be converted to Lutheranism—I just appreciate this blog. :) ]
I am a Lutheran teenager who heard Pastor Weedon speak in Grand Rapids and then found his blog! I love getting all his theological nuggets in my google reader!
I didn't realize you had a blog. Congrats!
Hi Pastor Weedon,
I am Lisa from Michigan. I have only commented a couple of times. We had a conversation about the short stories of Annie Proulx. I would probably comment more if you included more posts about non theological literature. I also have a sister in Collinsville and a daughter the age of your youngest.
I am wife to James who seems to be having an interesting conversation with Paul on another thread. Should I post a comment and tell them to play nice?
Pleased to greet you.
I'm Fraser Pearce, a Lutheran Pastor from Bendigo, Australia. I dig this blog.
Andrew Packer, second year sem student at CTS Fort Wayne.
I recently stumbled onto your pages (probably via another blog) and glad I did. I have a background in the Reformed and Anglican traditions, and have recently begun to explore Lutheranism. Thank you for your insightful comments. Please keep posting!
Puleeze... Bro Will could you or your sister-in-law teach me how to add site meter to my blog? I have it all set up but I cannot get it on the blog... guess I am a dunce...
I'm Jerry Gernander, an ELS pastor in Princeton, Minnesota. I love the great sharing of the Lutheran heritage on this site, a heritage that clearly articulates the Gospel. The great hymns (Will, the other night for the first time I took my LSB home, and my wife and I enjoyed getting a taste of the hymnody) and the quotations of church fathers are very edifying for me.
Can I give you a "Somewhat Older Lutheran Quote of the Day"?
"As pastors we set great store by the so-called Pastoral Letters, the two epistles to Timothy and the one to Titus, which are addressed to pastors. They have rightly been called the foundation of all true pastoral theology. But let us neither overlook the Book of Job. There we find lessons and instructions which, in such specific form, are found nowhere else, not even in the Pastoral Letterrs. This book, in particular, also shows that Scripture-reading and Scripture-study are of direct benefit to servants of Christ in their ministerial work." (Ludwig Fuerbringer, "The Book of Job: Its Significance to Ministers and Church-Members," CPH 1927, p. 6-7

I'm Alan Kornacki from Morgan City, LA. I'm a Lutheran pastor who preaches for a number of LCMS congregations in southeastern Louisiana as requested. My blog has a lot smaller readership than Pastor Weedon's, which makes sense because he's so much more lovable.
I'm going to do this when my blog gets to the 4,000 page view mark.
Pastor,
I discovered you while perusing around the Wittenberg Trail. I appreciate your pastoral responses to discussions.
I am Rex E. Watt from Washington State. A convert to the Lutheran Church from decades of American Evangelicalism. Married (2nd time) to a lifelong LCMS woman (who truly is "my most marvelous bride").
I have been reading backward on your site to take in all the nuggets. After viewing some of the video, we may even just plan a vacation so we can stop in on a Sunday.
Blessings to you and your family.
"Past Elder" is Terry Maher from Omaha NE. Once a rip roaring pre-conciliar RC thinking of being a monk, until I got there (not too far from Princeton MN btw) post Council, then a non-believer in any understanding of Christianity for twenty or so years, then by the grace of God Lutheran, first in WELS, where I was an elder, now in LCMS, where I run a little blog and drop by a few others.
