This past Sunday marked a bit of a milestone for Echo Zoe. I had it in mind, but with a morning power outage and making sure I got to church early to teach the first session of the logic course, I got distracted.
Sunday was October 20, 2013, and marked 10 years since the original post of the website that would eventually become Echo Zoe Ministries.
It was on October 20, 2003 that I first got Movable Type loaded onto a Linux web server running on an old computer I had. It was just a small blog that proved that I could manage to load the software without outside help, but I kept it going and eventually it became what you see here today. The site has changed names (for about a week, I called it ‘Vapid Vitality'), changed servers more than once, and even got it's own domain name, having begun with a DynDns address that pointed to my home network.
It wasn't until 2008 that I recorded the first podcast, which marked the new direction for the website, and would eventually lead to the incorporation as Echo Zoe Ministries.
Echo Zoe Ministries isn't 10 years old, but it wouldn't have come about if not for that first post on that little blog 10 years ago.
That post is still available, but was moved over to a personal site when Echo Zoe became an exclusively Christian/theological website. You can read that post over at Just a Vapor.
