Our Busy Neighborhood

I'm not referring to the neighborhood of King of Peace, though the morning and afternoon traffic in front of the church can get heavy. Instead, I am thinking of here in the neighborhood of Irenic Thoughts and busy this area can be. I'm not making a religious tie in here, but sharing more of the cultural phenomenon that surrounds us in the blogoshpere.

The first is the ability to watch the blogs flow by. The folks at Blogger.com have created a way to play Blogger images being uploaded to their site.

Here at Irenic Thoughts, about 300 people drop in a day, for about 100,000 visits a year. But PostSecret has had over 100 million visits to its page which is updated every Sunday. Here are two heartbreaking examples of what real people are sharing there:

Now for something more spiritual. It's not here a blogger.com, but it is out on the web from a neighbor in a Diocese of Georgia sense:
