. . . go to Matt and Madelaine Flanagan and Glenn Peoples for getting Kiwi blogging well up in the Biblioblog top 50! I figure I only have to overtake about 2 million other websites before I can get into the rankings! Not that I am registered yet. I'll try and finish my degree before I start trying to notch up the blog.
Unusually for me I was watching the tele early on Sunday morning and I caught an episode of Dr Charles Stanley preaching on his television program. Now I know this guy has come under some criticism for his personal life, and that is not unimportant, but it is also not something i can comment on, not knowing the facts. His preaching is however something I can comment on, at least the one sermon I did watch.
He started off by reading 2 Timothy 1:3-7. Which is a passage from the Bible, so far so good. He then spent the next 30 minutes or so talking about his mum and what a great example of a Christian mother she was. Now nothing he said or suggested was wrong, but none of it actually came from scripture, least of all the scripture he read from at the beginning. It was a lovely talk on how Stanley's mother raised him as a Christian despite considerable difficulties and it contained many useful nuggets of advice on raising Christian kids. All very nice, it might have made a nice…

ReplyDeleteBy the looks of your Alexa score you could make the rankings - you won't know unless you try :-)
don't tempt me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a cunning idea that after my thesis is finished i could dedicate a month to just working on the blog full time and see if i could make the top 50 with that amount of work. High volume hig quality posts and lots of interaction in the comments of other people's blogs. i reckon it could be done. but then again maybe there are better things to do with one's time?
