The hilarity of the internet

After a very long week, I feel somewhat emptied out. I've been going so fast that I've barely made enough time to be alone and quiet with God. I've had no time for even thinking about posting. But tonight was finally a quiet night.

Now that the wife is asleep on the couch, I'm tracking the Spurs-Heat game on Yahoo Gametracker (Go Spurs Go!), and I've decided to conjure up something for the blog. After I logged in, I took a brief moment of curiosity to look at the 'stats' page for this blog. If you're unaware, Blogger.com gives you a myriad of ways to check out generally who's been reading your blog - by country, by post, by how they were referred, etc.

Tonight, I found another sorting method - by search term. In and of itself, no big deal. But what got me laughing was one of the terms used that brought a person to my blog. That term was "scrawny thigh." What possible motivation could exist for searching that term is beyond me, and frankly I probably don't want to know. I have to assume that he point of that search was not theological or religious in nature.

I wonder if the person who clicked through based on that actually read what I wrote, and whether it had any sort of impact. Since they didn't stick around long enough to comment, I may never know. But I get the impression that little things like that are precisely why I'm supposed to be doing this. I serve an awesome God who can use an endless number of methods to see that His work is done.

Have a great weekend to you all.
