Today, January 5, 2025, marks the end of six years of daily blogging which began on January 6, 2019. By God’s grace, as of today, I’ve published 2,197 blogs on 2,192 consecutive days. How? One day at a time!

There’s a lesson there: no matter what we have in front of us, we can get through it…one day at a time. If you had asked me back in 2019, “Bob, do you have ideas for even one year of blogs? 365 ideas?” The answer would have been, no. But the ideas come a day at a time, a blog at a time.

June’s injury from December 7 will require three months to heal completely. There are times when June thinks, “I can’t live like this for (as of this writing) 8 more weeks!” But she can, and she will…one day at a time.

When I first starting daily blogging, a friend said, “Wow. There will be a book in there before long!” And there is: That’s Not Church! And Other Essays about Disciplemaking in the Local Church, available on Amazon.

The book contains 65 essays, some of which combine two or more blogs. The book is designed to be read by busy pastors who may not have time to read a 300-page book on making disciples in the local church, but they might read an essay or two, and each essay will give them “a nugget.”

The essays are grouped into five sections:

• Mission: what is the mission of the local church?

• Messenger: what is the role of the pastor?

• Message: what message should the church be communicating to its members?

• Methods: how can the church communicate its message and carry out its mission?

• Measurement: what should we be counting?

Back to the Ewellogy and the daily blogs… Thank you for reading. And I don’t even know who some of you are! If you don’t want to comment on the blog site, you can write me a note anytime at bob@ewell.com.

Write what you see in a book… Write therefore the things that you have seen… (Revelation 1.11, 19, ESV)
