Today I’m celebrating and I invite you to celebrate with me! This is my 100th post on Off the Beaten Path, and I’m tooting my own horn by giving away two great prizes to two lucky commentors. One of them could be you!
I know for some folks it is traditional to post 100 facts about themselves on their blog for their 100th post, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. I feel like this blog is too self-serving as it is. I get this wonderful outlet for writing and talking up a stream and venting and tossing questions into the universe and occasionally posting a photo of my kids or even rarely posting one of myself when I happen upon a trifecta of good hair, a somewhat normal facial expression, and a blessedly disguised waistline. You, on the other hand, just have to put up with it all. Amazingly, many of you do so willingly.
And I am indeed amazed…and honored…that you happen by here every now and then. I know some of you tell me you read daily even if you don’t post a comment. And that, quite frankly, is what causes many a sleepless night. I feel obligated to folks like Patty and Tanya and Angie and others to get something on here each day so you’ll have something somewhat coherent to read. If I happen to write something profound, then we’re all just really lucky 🙂
I’m also honored by the fact that so many men folks read along, including my dad and occasionally my husband and my son. I’m sure my dad reads because he feels like this blog is at least some token of proof that his investment in my journalism degree did finally pay off (if not monetarily, at least in some small way). My husband and son probably read mainly to make sure I’m not embarrassing them in any way and to see if I’ve posted any more about board games, academic accomplishments or our hikes. But there are some men, even some stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, who read because they like what they find here. Thank you so much, gentlemen – even Daddy, James and Daniel – you honor me with your presence. And so, guys, I hope you’ll enter this contest to win my give-aways too, even though they’re fairly feminine in nature. You can always give them to a gal pal or wife (Give it to the wife if you have one, the gal pal if you don’t. We don’t want to get in trouble here!)
So today, in this 100th post, instead of celebrating my 100 ramblings, my 100 attempts to write something pithy or witty or inspiring, or my 100th picture, I’m celebrating my more than 100 friends who read what I write. Thank you, thank you, thank you. For reading, for commenting, for laughing, for crying, for stopping by, for coming back every day. Thank you.
And now…. for the good stuff!
I’m giving away two prizes in keeping with my blog’s theme – off the beaten path:
- You get your name entered once for just leaving me a comment. But here’s what I want on the comment. I want to know five things about you! If I get at least 20 comments, that will give me 100 facts about you – my readers. That’s so much more interesting than 100 facts about me. So leave a comment with 5 facts about you. If for some reason you have a hard time leaving me a comment, you can also send me a message through my “contact” link at the top navigation bar on this blog. And if you leave your comment as “anonymous” you’ll need to give me your name in the comment itself.
- You get a second entry if you mention this give-away on your blog or on Facebook. Just include a link to this post on your blog or Facebook and tell me about it in a second comment. I’m assuming that those of you who aspire to do this second entry know how to do so. You just right click on my post title, select “copy link location” and then copy this link into your blog post or FB post. You don’t have to write a whole post about this contest, just mention it!
- You get another entry if you become a trail buddy (follower) and you aren’t already one. Just let me know in another comment.
- You get another entry every time you post a comment on my remaining posts this week! Woo hoo! I’ll be posting Wednesday through Friday, so that’s three more opportunities for you to enter.
Ok, that’s it. And the contest goes through Monday, April 12th. So if you’re checking in here anytime before then, get your comments in and cross your fingers!
Seriously folks, thank you so much for making this blog what it has become for me – a community of like-minded people encouraging one another on the narrow trail, keeping each other company off the beaten path…
blessings to you all…

This is fun! Your gifts are awesome (and I hope I win one!), but reading your blog, seeing your heart for the Lord, and becoming better acquainted with YOU are the best gift of all.
Your sis-in-Christ,
Beth
Kay,

4. I fight for my marriage everyday of my feeble existence.
5. I have a Heavenly Father who loves me so much more than I can even comprehend that my cup overflows and dribbles down the table leg at the feast He has prepared for me.
There's one down, let's see if I can manage part 2! This is fun!
Just posted the link on FB. Round 2!
Oh yeah, I don't know if this counts because technically I did this last night but I follow your blog on my blog thingsponderedanew.blogspot.com (shameless plug, I know)

I dont get around the computer much.
Five things about me:
1. I lived in foster homes and was living on my own when I was 16.
2. I was one of the first women to drive a semi truck cross country.
3. I learned to be a stunt woman, fighting and falling. (I am afraid of heights) I fell 20 ft. that was an accomplishment for me.
4. I was deployed with the Red cross to help with Hurricane Wilma victims and with a church to help with Katrina victims. We lived in tents the whole time. I am in my element when I am serving people in need.
5. Some day I would love to go to Africa, or some third world country to help where ever I can.

Congratulations on the 100th blog!

Thank you for ministering in the live of so many people. It is a blessing each time I get a few minutes to stop and read your blogs.

2. I think He is calling me to a public speaking type of minisrty (yikes!)
3. I love the color red!
4. I find my roles as "the preaher's wife" and "homeschooling mom of four" incredibly fulfilling (and sometimes incrediably frustrating!)
