Most viewed posts in 2021

At the end of last year I wrote, “After Blogger changed some of its features this year (a supposed upgrade), it was not as easy to take note of which posts were most viewed, so I think I will not do such a review in the future.” However, I think I finally figured it out. So here goes. The following are the seven most viewed posts (in that order) for the year 2021 on the Seeking the Old Paths.

• Views on the New Testament spiritual gifts
• Use of “-est” and “-eth” in the KJV
• Deeper than the stain has gone
• How does the Bible define drunkenness?
• f and ff: An Explanatory Note
• DAISY: the Five Points of Arminianism
• Can a Baptist deacon baptize?

Looking at these, I find it intriguing that none of the most viewed were written this year, and the newest of them is three years old. I had to get down to Number 15 to find one that was written in 2021. I am surprised that some of them would be the most viewed, though for others I can understand because they are probably popular hits via a search engine (e.g. spiritual gifts, drunkenness, Arminianism, baptism). How does the Bible define drunkenness has always been a leader. Who Can Baptize used to be my most read post, but it seems to have fallen out of contention!

After Blogger changed some of its features this year (a supposed upgrade), it was not as easy to take note of which posts were most viewed, so I think I will not do such a review in the future.

The Best Chinese Food Restaurant in Texas

In the online article The Best Chinese Food Restaurant in Every State, Yahoo Editor Jeff O'Heir tells us that the best Chinese food in state of Texas is found at the Chicken Lollypop in Austin. Chicken Lollypop is located at 1005 E. Braker Lane, Austin, TX 78753. O'Heir notes us that you initially find yourself in East Braker Lane Food Mart and that the restaurant is toward the back of the store. Phone is (512) 909-9826.

The "best" rating in this piece comes through Yelp. It is based on "the number of stars and amount of reviews each restaurant received from Yelpers. The higher the combined number, the better the ranking." (For the Chicken Lollypop it was 4.5 stars and 208 reviews.) I hope to give it a try the next time I’m in Austin.
