Winter crossed two continents for us this year with some great memories and ministry on both but now it’s time put away our winter album and break out the spring. Check it out on our gallery page.

Vermont Gets Religion and Russia Gets Aggressive: 2015 toddjana.com Stats
It can be fun (and useful) to study the visit stats for our website and learn how to adapt our communications with supporters. Two years ago I poked fun at Vermont because it was the only state that had 0 visits to our web site in 2013, putting it (I joked) in the same category as the likes of North Korea and Somalia. Not only does it seem that four people in Vermont were born again this year (joking again) but the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service decided they needed to keep careful tabs on my website (only half joking).
Merry Christmas 2015!

Get yourself a cup of coffee or tea and listen to Elisabeth and Max’s violin and guitar duet while we run through some photo highlights from 2015. Apparently we spent all our free time in the mountains this year.

Year end listicles are all the rage in the newspapers these days so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and do a toddjana top 10.

Hacked!
Our site was hacked. Someone gained access to our servers and placed malicious code in our site that injected spam links in every post.

But it’s going to take much longer to restore the look and functionality and since we’re in the process of moving right now it’s going to take that much longer.
2010 naSlovensko Stats
Not counting a few years of experimentation and “finding its way,” 2010 was the first full year that toddjana.com was in operation. Since this is the time of year for januflecting (looking back and looking ahead), I thought I would share some of what I think are the highlights of 2010.
Bummer
UPDATE: Most everything (except for a few links and the photo galleries) is fixed now. While I was reimplementing the theme I went ahead and made some design changes. Hopefully nothing that will cause confusion.
