Blog World

I've been looking on the net for ways to increase hits on my blog. I also have been trying to find good Christian blogs. Here's what I've found out so far...

• Most of the Christian bloggers out there are women.
  
• Most of the Christian men bloggers are Pastors or Leaders in a church.
• There are very few Christian blogs with a charismatic view.
• There are not many with an everyday approach to living the Christian life.
• Most Christian blogs are religion specific, topic specific, or have mini novels for posts.
• All Christians are not the same.

Some cuss right on their blog! Some have a journal. Some show a lot of pictures & videos. Not many Christian Blogs are like mine (so far). Mostly, I have been talking about using my gifts and the spiritual lessons learned from God and others. I will branch out when the events or encounters in my life seem deserving of cyber ink.
I am not interested in gaining the most hits ever or care in the numbers. My goal is to encourage and uplift. If I make you think about your faith or lack there of differently, I am encouraged. I try to write as God impresses me. So far, so good. I love to write and find enjoyment ministering this way. I chose to talk in an everyday real life manner to expose my weakness and victories. I also write on my learning moments and how it applies to me. I do all this to help others improve and think correctly about themselves and their situations.
