  1. Happy new year, Mr. Bolen. Actually, every story of yours is a "Top Story". It is always a pleasure to visit your blog.

  2. Thanks for all the work you put into this blog. Where would we be without it? Looking forward to learning more from you throughout the new year.
    A blessed year of newness to you, Todd.

  3. Your blog is greatly appreciated. I don't know where you find time to keep up on all that you do – and do so well!

  4. I just noticed that BiblePlaces.com was the top referring site to Gordon Govier's TB&TS blog, & I received the same WordPress stats last night too (my LMLK WordPress mirror). I'm sure there were plenty of other sites that received major 2010 traffic thanks to the way-cool, & highly relevant content on this one. Thanks a million!
