Why was my 1/1/15 post replaced with today's post? Why did it disappear?

  I posted in my blog on 1/1/15. I shared it to facebook..all was well until today, 1/2/15. I made another blog post and published it. My 1/1/15 post disappeared. Before you click on the shared link, it looks like the post from 1/1, titled “Even The Holy Spirit Breaks A Wing Now And Then”, but what shows is today’s post titled “Thank You Dan”. WordPress does not show any evidence of my “Holy Spirit” post..I can’t retrieve it from my edits page..it is gone. The comments and “likes” for it are showing up on wordpress under the new post. I am afraid to post again, for fear it will keep wiping out my posts. Can you retrieve my post? Thanks for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Tess,

  I just took a look at your site and I see two distinct posts:

  Even The Holy Spirit Breaks A Wing Now And Then..

  and

  Thank You, Dan

  Are these the ones you were looking for?

  It should be noted that there have been reports that if someone writes a post while some other edit page is open, this exact thing can happen. So in this case, if you created the post “Thank you Dan” in a new tab or window while you had the edit page for “Even the Holy Spirit . . .” was open still, one could have over-written the other.

  In this case however it looks like you may have been able to get them back, which is great!
