I have been thinking about my goals for this place and I would like to get us to 500 subscribers. Given my decision to stop political commentary and focus on other, vital topics, there's a good chance that we can reach that mark. No longer is the content this niche thing based on conflict and drama but instead we're focused on wisdom, security, and prosperity. I will be ramping up the content output and will also be promoting this place, externally. Should be real interesting! Thanks for being here.
