\u00a0Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ve got you covered. \u00a0Through the miracle of modern technology, I&#8217;ve enabled a &#8220;Random Posts&#8221; widget (just look over at the right column&#8230;<em>there <\/em>it is) that will suggest three random articles every time you visit this page. \u00a0I&#8217;ve excluded posts from the Lighthouse News and Editor&#8217;s Notes categories since those tend to have a bit of an expiration date on them. \u00a0My sincere hope is that you will discover a number of great articles and series this way. \u00a0PLEASE avail yourself to it. \u00a0And of course, you&#8217;re welcome to simply explore the various categories and series in a more systematic fashion if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plans for the future: <\/strong>when we return in August, we&#8217;ll have a number of new articles for you, along with the continuation of some of the more established series. \u00a0And in the near future we&#8217;re going to be starting up a new series, so keep your eyes peeled for that. \u00a0And if you were considering being a staff writer for the Beacon, please let me know since we&#8217;re already starting to set the article schedule for the fall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apology: <\/strong>I also just want to briefly take the opportunity to apologize for the somewhat haphazard article schedule lately. \u00a0For those of you who don&#8217;t know, I manage most of the administrative functions myself, and the recent employment issues threw me for a bit of a loop. \u00a0But that is all settled, I&#8217;ve learned to hand off some of the responsibility to others, and when we start up again, we should be much more timely with the regularly-scheduled updates. \u00a0So thank you for your patience, and I will do my very best not to let that happen again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now. \u00a0I&#8217;m very excited about what the future has in store, and looking forward to sharing it with you when we get back.<\/p>\n<p>See you in August!<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers It occurred to me that we hadn&#8217;t done one of these for a while. \u00a0On one hand, I hope that you enjoyed your break from my ramblings, but on the other hand, I probably should have done a better job of keeping everyone informed of the going-ons behind the scenes here at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":469,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-editors-note"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/469"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3293"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4940,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293\/revisions\/4940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
