Awesome, delo63! I've never had a blog, so I can't respond to that question myself, but I pray the Lord's blessing on your work!

That is so cool! So, since you've had experience setting up a blog now, is there any insights you can share about how to do it? Since I've never blogged at all, it is a big mystery to me as to how to go about starting one.

it was actually really easy only took an hour to set it up. I went to wordpress.com and made a personal blog account with a domain, it cost 35$a year. Then you pick a custom theme, then you can change the text or colors of the blog site, and then add menu buttons and a picture for a logo type of thing, and then just hit add blog post and just start writing and then hit publish.
Its easy to start it, the problem im having now is how to get people to go to my blog to read it. I have it automatically forwarding my posts to Facebook and twitter, but my friends don't care, so that's the hard part.

Thank you for the tips, delo63! Sounds like fun! Is there a way to tell how many people have visited the blog? Perhaps you'll get more and more visitors as the days begin to near the Revelation 12 Sign.

yeah there's a stat bar that tells you all the views and likes. I haven't gotten many but I just started it 3 days ago. My goal is to post on the weekdays once a day. I am on a reading plan and I make a post on the topic or passages that im reading that day. My wife says im a good writer and so do my professors at school, so i hope people start reading it.

if anyone has read through any of my stuff, could you give me some feedback? I get likes and some amen comments, but I would like some constructive criticism, if anyone has any.
Thanks!
