January 16, 2008:

If you look at my Archives, you will note that the earliest entry is found in 2005. In fact, I started with this blogsite only a few months ago, so how do i explain the discrepancy? It’s simply this: I gathered my major Franciscan essays into one website, which is this one, most of the essays having been published by the American Chronicle, the average length of which is 1,500 words (counted by Microsoft Word 2003). I have called this website several names: ‘iGLORiA’ and ‘i, WRiTER’ and ‘FrankinScience’ – a pun on Frankenstein and implying that this is all about science and now (January 16) ‘The Franciscan Writer’ – because I have The Franciscan Essay and The Franciscan Quote.
