Thanks to all of you who continue to visit my blog, and who have helped to make Fountain Abbey one of the most successful here on TH. Fountain Abbey, as of Wednesday, May 7th, is now #6 in the Townhall top ten blog list. I couldn't have made it there without all of you. To those of you who like a good beer, I am pouring myself one right now and making a toast to each of you.
So, here's to all of you. I hope to see y'all back.
I have been thinking long and hard over the last couple of weeks about the theme and content of my blog. Mostly, Fountain Abbey has been about different types of American Heroes and the things they have done that reflect on our nation and illustrate that America truly is the greatest land on Earth. I have made a small handful of political or social rants, but by and large the focus was on positive topics.
What you will see in the future are going to mostly be on the five following topics:
1. Defenders Of The Faith: people and institutions that are a credit to Christianity and who provide role models for us in our faith and walk with God.
2. Around America: Stories and anecdotes about our great land. Things to see and do and experience, as well as current and historical tidbits for all patriots to enjoy.
3. Military Stories: This one will be the one topic that might not be for everyone. It will include stories from my experiences as well as ones relayed to me by others from the different branches of the military. Some of them may contain mature content and humor, and may in fact offend some of you, so be warned.
4. Future Leaders: This will focus on the children in America, and the things they do that are praiseworthy and that can give us hope for the future of our land. There are many, many great, patriotic, hard-working and creative youngsters out there who deserve praise for their words and deeds, and that is what I will be doing with these stories.
5. American Heroes: This is what I originally intended Fountain Abbey to be exclusively focused on. These stories are all about heroes to inspire us and motivate us to get moving and make our lives count for something. Here you will find people from all walks of life who serve as examples of what makes America great.
Of course, you will see the occasional commentary of some political or social, etc., event, but those entries will be the exception at Fountain Abbey. There are so many great commenters out there, especially the legendary GunnyG, that I feel this arena is well covered. Of course, there will be topics that I feel strongly enough about that I will post commentaries, but by and large, Fountain Abbey will be about the five topics listed above. My entries will also include those titles at the beginning of every post, so you will know what you're getting.
Thanks again to all my readers.
Y'all come back now, hear?
