One of the things I learned was how to gather and analyze statistics for my site. I am amazed every day at the number of people who read my blog as well as the reach I have made worldwide. Yes, worldwide! I have visitors from all over the United States, Racine, WI to Biloxi, MS; San Bernadino to San Marcos to Spring Hill; Nashville to Los Angeles; Pascagoula to Chicago and many points in between. I also have recorded visitors from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, South America, Honduras, Germany, and England.
I reached another milestone today, since I began keeping stats(on Sept. 3rd), I have flirted with 100 guests in a day but never quite made it, today (Thursday) the site recorded 103!
When I started this blog I never dreamed of the impact and reach I could have on so many people, from so many different places. God willing I will continue to write with my purpose remaining to glorify God and Christ, to bring a little humor into your life and to help us all gain perspective on the things happening around us. Thank You for stopping by and reading. Let me know how I'm doing and what you would like to see me discuss in the future.

Mitchell, I enjoy reading your blog. I like the down to earth feel about it. I enjoy the posts that talk about things in a way that someone seeking some truth in their lives can understand. I am amazed at how far reaching it has become, although I was sure that a lot of folks were reading it. I think it is a wonderful tool to bring people to Christ. I feel that some may access this site to see if this congregation is somewhere they would want to attend. I appreciate the fact that your posts are not so deep that the average person can understand what you are saying. I think that is very important. Sometimes preachers use big words, and talk about deep debatable subjects and the most of us do not even know what they are talking about. To reach those who are lost or struggling, you have to speak to them in words that are easily understood. I think you are doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work.

Thank's Amy! You are right, some people try to make Christianity too complex when actually it is rather simple.
Mithell I apologize for not acknowleding your comment on my blog earlier but I somehow overlooked it until just now.
I do want to thank you for reading and commenting on my series on unity within the Stone Campbell Movement.
I thank Matthew for sending you my way and I am glad to find your blog. I have book marked it and will be enriched through it I am sure.
Congratulations on 1000 vistors and I am honored to be among them. I like what I see ... well almost everything! Those Volunteer pictures ...
Hope to see you again.
Shalom,

It is amazing how far reaching a blog can be. I am so proud that you have started this blog to support your ministry to the congregation. As Amy said so well, I too love the family posts that you present. You have an amazing talent in communicating the Gospel to those who are seeking truth. We are truly blessed to have you.
First of all - Bobby, I usually delete all posts that contain profanity but I guess I'll let you slide since it is your first time to comment on my site. Please refrain from the "Roll Tide" or any other such nonsense. Really, what does it accomplish... Oh, Yeah - GO BIG ORANGE!! But seriously, thanks for stopping by and I really enjoy your site.
Matthew, thanks as well and Waynesboro is twice as blessed to have you.
Mitchell,
I have enjoyed your blog for a few months now. It is one of the best I have seen. Congratulations! Also, I am amazed at how much you have learned about blogging. I have been blogging for over a year, and can barely post a comment. I have no clue how to do much of the other stuff you have learned to do. Blessings! :)
Terry,
Thanks for the encouragement! I thin k your blog is great, your posts come from the heart and speak to so many people. Keep up the good work!
