Could the world end in 2012?... yes... We need to prepare for it today, but there is nothing especially cataclysmic about 2012- but as I always say- the signs are clearly in place, there is NO EXCUSE to not be ready for the King's return. Come quickly Lord Jesus!
Re-cap of 2011 on Jayopsis "Jay's View":
As of today- I have had 12,549 page views which I think dates back to mid 2009.
I had 1,417 visits in December.
The most viewed blog of 2011 was "Either Way You're in a Fight" on 4/24/11- 672 views!
The series on Proverbs was the most read series with over 1200 visits in April 2010.
The most commented and linked posts were about my diet (Jan 2011)- my rough count was that it was re-posted or linked to 20 different sites on the WWW.
My most controversial blog was the one about Osama Bin Laden on 5/6/11- one of the problems is that in my first draft I mis-spelled OSAMA by typing it as OBAMA and I got lit up over the title.
As far as e-mails- I still get a lot of theological critiques: some say I am too reformed, some say I am not reformed enough. Some want to debate Calvinism. I usually don't get into theological debates on the internet- it is too hard a forum to get in long debates.

As always my goal is to present the truth of the gospel and a transparent walk with Jesus Christ. I am NOTHING special..just a sinner saved by grace- my heart breaks for those who have never yielded to this free gift by simple trust- stop trying to earn your way to heaven, trust today in what Jesus has done- experience HIS love today!
I have been faithfully writing this blog since late 2004 and I see no reason to stop now....
Grace and Peace in 2012!
