Support First Things by turning your adblocker off or by making a  donation. Thanks!

Regular readers will have noticed that there were no new posts here at SHS for about a week. That wasn’t because I had nothing to say. (That will be the day!) Rather, and I won’t use the bad words that are in my mind, Blogger would not upload to my FTP.

It got so bad, and I became so frustrated, I started Secondhand Smoke II. If this crashes again, I will be over there for the duration of the outage: http://www.wesleyjsmith.blogspot.com/.

It appears the problems have resolved (or you would not be reading this). However, this isn’t the first time I have experienced these difficulties. So, I am planning some changes here. They will take awhile to effectuate. More when the time comes.

In the meantime, I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your reading and participation in Secondhand Smoke.

Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
GIVE NOW
