Looking Back While Moving Ahead

We’ve looked back at the most popular shares in a particular year. We’ve looked back at the least popular shares of the prior year. This time around, I thought it would be fun to look back at the prior year and see what hit the mark in a particular month no matter when that post first appeared.

I give you The Most Popular Recipes of All Time for 2023. Well, sort of. Both January and Feburary’s most popular recipe was for the same dish – Hot Dogs. That’s when I realized we needed to make one tiny change – in the event that the same recipe came up more than once as the most viewed, I would then share the second most or the third most – whatever it took to share 12 recieps from various points in the past. Enjoy!

Here we are, in 2024. Wow – that sounds so futuristic to me. We now have ovens that will cook an entire meal simply by swiping a card that comes with the nearly instant, no work involved pre-packaged foods. Truth be told, I’d rather cook my own meals and drive around in a flying car.

Wishing everyone an amazing life, filled with joy and God’s abundant blessings. Peace be with you, His peace be upon us all.

Alleluia, alleluia.
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets;
in these last days, He has spoken to us through the Son.
Alleluia, alleluia.
