Last Saturday marked the second year I’ve been blogging. I was too busy with my 20th high school reunion to notice. What can I say? It’s been a great ride. 
While I consider myself a pure blogger, one who enjoys (and in my case, craves) the act of blogging itself, I must say that I’m happy with LBC’s success, including the writing and speaking opportunities that resulted from the time and energy I’ve put into maintaining this site.
My first post, an op-ed called Life on the Old Plantation, got the ball rolling. Pretty soon the column-writing took a backseat to the blog. There was a time I actually felt guilty for “neglecting” my column and “playing” around with this blogging thing. Since then, LBC has generated readers (and new friends!), money, and benefits I’d never imagined. To name a few:
— Conference speaking (BlogNashville, Young America’s Foundation, GodBlogCon, etc.)
— Radio Interviews (and TV)
— TV appearances (first MSNBC appearance – nervous!)
— Senior Contributor for Pajamas Media
You can read more on the About and Writings pages. I’ve written so many posts I’m proud of, so it would be difficult to highlight certain ones. If you have the time, browse the Faith, Race Preferences, Child Killing, and Media Bias categories.
I’m hard at work today on a project, and LBC is the reason. That means I’m working and celebrating at the same time. 
Thanks for reading LBC!
