About this blog

This post is more just catching up with my readers, so if this is not your thing, please bear with me.

First of all, I thought some of my readers might be interested to know that I installed Google Analytics on this blog. I was interested in seeing just how many people were actually reading this blog, and since I've installed it, I'm averaging around 100 page views a day and all the stats are on the increase as I write this. People in 25 states have read this blog with Tennessee, Florida and Michigan rounding out the top 3 spots. I don't know if anyone else thinks that this is interesting, but I do.

Second, I've invited several guest authors to write on my blog and so far one of them has agreed. I've asked three other people to write as well, and though I haven't got firm commitments yet, there does seem to be interest. I'm hoping to have some content that is not self-generated on this blog soon. So you might notice that there is a contributors section on the blog now, and this is why. So far I've asked people to write on specific subjects that I think they are more qualified to write on than I am or who might have a unique perspective on.

Third, I just wanted to thank all of you who have shown your support to me by your encouraging words or emails. I will endeavor to continue searching out hidden truths.

Next, I wanted to say please feel free to comment on my posts. If you want to say you like what I'm writing or that you think I'm wrong, that's fine. I am always interested in people's opinion and learning from other people. If I am wrong about something, I want to know, but please point out how you think I'm wrong, don't just say, "You're wrong". To those of you who have already commented on some of my posts, thanks. If I don't reply, it's only because I don't think I need to. If you want me to, please point it out and I'd be happy to.

By the way, anyone can use scripture references just like I do in my posts and they will pop up in your response too. Just be sure to use the most common abbreviation of the book that you know, for instance Hbr 12:1 shouldn't pop up, but Heb 12:1 should. If you are in doubt, just write the whole name of the book and you'll be fine. Incidentally, I can't actually check the references in my posts until the post is live on the blog, so I might occasionally edit the references after the fact so that they work correctly. So if you see a scripture reference that isn't working correctly, I'll get to it shortly.

Also, I only edit my posts after they are live for grammar and punctuation, not for content. On the very rare occasion (I've done this once so far) I might add a clarifying statement to a post if I think it is necessary because I didn't explain myself completely clearly. What I won't do though is delete a post or part of a post. I don't feel the need to do this, and I will stand by what I say and take my lumps if I'm wrong.
