The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that Brings Hope
August 12th, 2020- TCS # 700
Happy New Age to Me, My Readers! As The Date of This Newsletter, I am a Year Older! I am now 33 Years Old! Yes, I can’t believe it either! It will be An Awesome Year because 33 is a Good Number and If You add One more 3, It turns out to be, 333 which is God’s Number, known as “The Trinity”, and Of Course, In Spiritual Form, It means “Cosmic Yes!”. So, Here’s to My “Trinity Year”!
Anyway, My Readers, It is The Moment that We have been waiting for, My 700th Newsletter! Yes, Ladies and Gents, 700 Newsletters that I have written! So, I am just as surprised as You are! I am amazed that It is My 700th Newsletter! Historically speaking, When I started Writing This Newsletter, It was not Every Wednesday, it was more like Every Other Week and then, on Odd Days like Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday to name a few. I finally chose Wednesday to make it a routine and It stuck. I figured also that Nothing was going on that day and It was a Perfect Time of The Week. I have been Writing Every Wednesday Faithfully with a Few Breaks or Vacations since then. So, Before We get to the Subject of The 700th Newsletter, Let’s see what I wrote about in Past, what I now call “Milestone Newsletters”. The Following are references and Newsletter Titles.
- 100th Newsletter: “Playlist of Your Life” Series; Popi (April 2008)
- 200th Newsletter: “All Thanks to You” Series; My Readers (May 2010)
- 300th Newsletter: Launch of My “I Believe In Love” Campaign (May 2012)
- 400th Newsletter: “Happiness....Simplified” Series: What is Happiness to Me (May 2014)
- 500th Newsletter: My Dreamscape- Now (June 2016)
- 600th Newsletter: Thank You for An Amazing Childhood, Mr. Jeff! (July 2018)
and, That brings us to Now! So, As You know from Last Week’s Newsletter, I was going to Let You, My Readers choose What I was going to write about for This Newsletter. I wanted to put a Poll on My Website but, I figured that It would be Better to put it on My Facebook. Just like Last Time, I gave Several Options of The Following: My View of Something; PTLS Related; An Adventure/Trip; A Life Event; or An Accomplishment. The Results actually surprised me! It was The Following Vote Tallies. Starting with The Least Amount of Votes. A Family Member of Ours added One, A Guilty Pleasure; 3 Votes for PTLS Related; 13 Votes for An Adventure/Trip; and Finally, 16 Votes for An Accomplishment. That was actually The Same Result that The First Reader’s Choice Newsletter. Well, My Readers said so! Alrighty, My Readers! Second Times, The Charm! An Accomplishment! Ya Know, Come to Think of It. This Newsletter, My 700th Newsletter is an Accomplishment in Itself. Seriously, When I started writing This Newsletter, The Christianville Spirit, I thought It was a Good Idea to send out a Weekly Email, because that is what It was at The Time, sort of. Never would I have ever thought that I would make it to 700 Newsletters. Actually, When I started Writing It, I just put The Newsletter Name and a Tagline, that was it. No Dates and No Counting Them. Even when I did Start Counting My Newsletters, My Writing Looked a lot Different than It does Now. Here is An Example, I wrote the Following Newsletter on April 1st of 2009. It shows What My Newsletter used to look like as well How My Newsletter started.
For those of you who have been reading The Christianville Spirit for a while have seen all the changes of this newsletter. But, however there are people who have been reading this since the beginning. So, I thought I would give you a view of the history of a newsletter called The Christianville Spirit. The Christianville Spirit or TCS for short started in Christianville, TN in November of 2005 as an email to My Mom and my friend Karleen about the 1st Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival. My Mom told me I should start writing a newsletter about my view on life because my view on life and the world is a unique view. One time I was writing stuff about The City of Christianville and I wanted a newspaper name for The Metro Area so, the word “Spirit” seamed like a good name to symbolize the Christianville Area. On Wednesday, October 4, 2006 was the first official “Christianville Spirit” and it was about my best friend Steven’s “10 Weeks of Awesome Behavior” back when he was in The Group Home. The Christianville Spirit has been known for its slogans. The slogans have changed over the years so, Here are a list of slogans and how long they lasted.
· The first slogan was “Serving The Christianville Metro Area” that lasted from the first Christianville Spirit to December 29, 2006.
· The 2nd slogan was “Christianville Metro Area’s Delight” which lasted one newsletter in January 2007
· The 3rd slogan was “Christianville’s #1 Newspaper” which lasted one newsletter on January 4, 2007
· The 4th slogan was “The Spirit of Christianville” which lasted January 9, 2007-December 27, 2007
· The 5th slogan was “The Spirit that touches Lives” which lasted January 3, 2008-December 29, 2008
· The 6th and current slogan is “The Spirit that touches Your Life” which lasts January 2009-the end of the year
Also, The Christianville Spirit has it’s share of websites it was posted on. The first website was 360.yahoo.com/mapkid2 which was my own personal Yahoo 360 site and after that it moved to it’s current site, thechristianvillespirit.blogspot.com. another The Christianville Spirit has been known for is it’s inspirational lines at the end of the newsletter, the first inspirational line was “ Have a Spiritful Day” in the 14th newsletter. The next thing my newsletter has been known for is its series. The first TCS Series was “Christianville Metro Highlight” which about my friends and family. In the series, I got the biggest reaction to my newsletter is the “Julie Smith-Centeno Edition” of that series. Before I started writing full articles I wrote about what was going on in my life and what was going on in Christianville, those sections of the newsletter were known the “Personal News” and Christianville News” section and Another section change was the addition of the “C. Metro Commentary”. Finally, In case your wondering what the “TCS # 143” heading means, that shows how many newsletters I’ve written since the 1st in October of 2006. all in all, it’s a lot of fun to write these newsletters each week.
So, That is One Example of What My Newsletter used to look like. Actually, That is what My Newsletter looked like in My Early Days of Writing on My Website. It is Another Story when You see how I wrote when I was writing My Newsletter as an Email. That is Actually how It started. It started as a Simple Email to a Few Friends and Family, and After I while, My Mom convinced me that I should put it more in Blog Form and Do It not just for a Little Hobby but, Eventually, a Little Job where I can get Paid to write. I am Very Dedicated about Writing Every Wednesday and If I don’t write on Wednesday, I will write on Tuesday or Thursday. Of Course, If I am Sick, Taking a Week Off, or Having My Mandatory Vacation Time, I will let everyone know. Now, Yes, I still do The Emails Every Week as well as Having My Newsletter on My Website. And, Facebook, of course. So, Here is What My First Official Newsletter looked like. Be Sure to Read The Background Story before Reading The Original. It will provide Context to It. http://thechristianvillespirit.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-christianville-spirit-happy-10th.html

Brooke, TN-
Yes, C. Metro Area the title is nice and SUPER TRUE. sooo, here’s the 411. Christian Centeno ran into Mrs. Vandeneykel at a Wal-Mart in Brooke and Mrs. Vandeneykel gave him excellent news. his best friend, Steven Vandeneykel has actually made it 10 weeks of Excellent Behavior which this reporter would say is a pretty staggering record for him!! that is awesomely amazing and us of the staff of The Christianville Spirit couldn’t believe that this was even happening down in San Marcos where he is at. so, i’m sure he is about as happy to hear about it even though he’s already known. but, now at least Christian Centeno and the WHOLE Christianville Metro Area now knows. sooo, keep saying your prayers for him and not to mention his buddy, tigger.
and, hopefully. he will make it to next step will be a place CLOSER to home! if anyone wants to chant for him here’s a good one. LETS GO STEVEN or GO STEVEN GO.
pick which ever one C. Metro Area that u would like and we’ll puts signs in throughout the C. Metro Area!!
Actually, That Reminds me and Makes me realize that This Year, in November will be My 15th Year of Writing! November 1st of 2005, I started Writing but, They were in Email Style but, that eventually turned into My Official First Newsletter. I guess You can say that The Newsletter in Email that I wrote in November was sort of like a Practice Writing and The One that I wrote in October of 2006 was My First Official Newsletter. So, Join Me and Celebrate My Big Accomplishment, My 700th Newsletter. All in all, Here’s a New Age Year and My 700th Newsletter!
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. 700 Thank You's to All who have gotten me This Far!
