The Ten Most Popular Posts in 2025

These ten were the top visited posts and pages in 2025. None of them were written this year, and most of them are sermons from the archives. Although I am posting less frequently these days, the old stuff remains much visited. The Ferlinghetti poem had an impressive 20, 774 hits. If you read it you will know why it is a poem for our time.

My Top Ten Posts of 2023

Marsh 1Once again, as the old year passes and the new year beckons, it is my custom to look back at my most viewed posts of the year.
