G’day! Byron the Quokka here, with comment contest news!
Who ever thought we’d someday have 70,000 comments here? Well, that day is coming soon! We have 69,235 comments now, and that means we have only 765 to go to reach 70,000!
That’s a big milestone, if you ask me–well, if you ask any quokka, not just me. And the winner who posts that big No. 70,000 will get an autographed copy of Lee’s book, His Mercy Endureth Forever. Or, if you don’t mind waiting a few months, you can hold out for a copy of Book No. 13 in the Bell Mountain series, The Wind from Heaven. I wish we could offer a bicycle, or a speedboat, or the deed to the city of Rangoon, but nobody ever listens to me.
It shouldn’t take that long to rack up 765 more comments. Everyone’s eligible, post as many comments as you please–and all comments are eligible unless they’re insulting, or include cuss words, or are just too inane to bother with. And if you’ve won before, you can win again. We don’t mind.
Oooh, Byron, it’s so long since we’ve seen your smiling face! (Well, it always seems like a long time, anyway.) And I’m so excited about Lee’s newest book that I’m almost ready to give up my usual altruism and ask for the book if I win. And even if I don’t win, I’m still excited about the book. 🙂
Sorry, actually, that I haven’t been commenting as much as usual lately. It’s just been one thing after another this week.
And I keep trying to put off taking down our Christmas tree…
Well, some traditions continue the Christmas customs and decorations until Candlemas (Feast of the Presentation), which is 2 February, so you still have lots of time.
So that’s what Candlemas is! Thank you.
