Is Anyone Out There?
I have been keeping a blog for over a year and no one has left a comment. Perhaps I am a really bad writer and no-one reads more than a couple of lines before moving to greener pastures. Perhaps the blog is so crowded that few people really are reading stranger’s blogs. I have listed my blog on several of the groups that is the only way I find other people’s blogs. Maybe I need pictures and such to make the blog interesting. The problem is that I don’t know how to do that. I have been working on computers for a while but just around the edges of what a computer can do. My husband knows a lot about computers but doesn’t have a lot of time to make my ideas reality.
I tried starting a group and I did not know enough to respond to the one person who expressed interest. At least a blog is something you can do on your own. But there is little feedback. If I didn’t want feedback I would not be posting online. I want to post more on Faithwriters.com but the section I am interested on are scaring me away. I am ready to give away some of my older work, however I suppose I will have to totally rewrite my older work before posting it in the, "articles for free," section. It is a bad thing to be run by fear I must overcome it.

Annette,
Happy Birthday!
Assuming you are a September Libra, I'm not too early. If October, I freakishly early!
I noticed you were borne in 1956 - I promise, no jokes about women or age!
But seriously, there are lots of people out here, I find that most of them don't want to take the time to comment on my blog either. I think it's because like you, I do not allow anonymous comments on my blog.
Don't be discouraged though, I don't care if others don't comment, I don't write for other people, I write what I am inspired to write. I figure if God can inspire me to write about how gloriously wonderful He is, then anyone who comes a crossed my blog who is not blessed by the content, hasn't taken the time to get to know Him!
I hope your husband has obtained his credentials and is blazing new trails as an evangelist; we need more workers in the fields! May the Lord richly bless your efforts in serving Him!
I read the story about the students and the principles office, my wife is a teacher also, and she has experienced very similar circumstances. She told me that when a student asks her directly about her beliefs she tells them about her faith. She doesn't tell them what they should believe, but relates her faith to them in a practical or pragmatic way; leaving it up to them to draw certain conclusions, but not leaving enough doubt to warrent further discussion. Allowing students to come to moral conclusions without addressing things from a theological context is about as generic as you can get. I think the entire idea of telling teachers they can't discuss religion is a great idea, especially since the dictionary defines darwinism as a religion! It takes a great deal of faith to believe man came from ape and then what, did evolution take a vacation for the past 100 million years?
Blessings!
Tony
