Follow The Light Turns 2 This Week

This week (1/25/11) is Follow The Light's second birthday. My intent for Follow The Light has always been to keep the posts relevant to any time period by writing about timeless subjects. Hopefully most of what is written will be as relevant and readable in 2080 and beyond as it is today. Truth is timeless.

It seems God has used FTL to draw a number of people closer to Him during this past year. Hundreds have read the Gospel for the first time, some have trusted Christ, and others have gained strength and help for the day. This is what it is all about.

I am thankful that hundreds of new readers have discovered FTL this past year. Facebook followers have pushed FTL from just breaking into the top ten in Religion last year to number 3 in the ratings this year. Ratings in every category have continued to rise. The Lord is kind to bless these efforts as He has done.

One area in which I fail miserably is interlinks from my blog to other blogs. This is not an issue of arrogance, but of time and skill. FTL is the solo effort of a very busy husband, father, son, pastor, traveling preacher, and grandfather, etc. My apologies to all those highly skilled writers I read in the blogosphere. That many of you continue to read, link to, share, and follow FTL is humbling, and doesn't go unnoticed. There are some amazing writers out there who need to be linked-pray for me-that I will be able to address this issue in the coming year.

Another goal I have is to make the hundreds of posts on FTL more accessible and, therefore, usable without adding too much to the workload. Time... its always about time. Continue to pray that God will use FTL as He has in these past 2 years. A hearty thank-you to all the readers and followers who have made this effort worthwhile.

Follow The Light Turned 1 Year Old This Week

Not only is this my blog's first birthday, but my grandson Tyler celebrates his first birthday this week too (1/23/10). This blog has been a joy for me, and I am thankful God has used it in so many lives. The first year stats show we have gone from no readers to hundreds per week, and Follow The Light has remained solidly in the top 10 facebook networked religion blogs for the past week. A hearty thank you to all my friends who follow this blog. Here are the top six most popular posts of the year:

The Devil's Despair, My Great Comfort
Jesus the One and Only
Jewel Roach Wasp, Amazing...
"Remembrance" The Power Of Delayed Consequences
An Atheist At Thanksgiving
A King James Exclusive

Number 3 on Facebook's Religion Blogs

In November of 09 when I first published this post FTL was at #16. I am more than a little bit shocked to now be number 3 on Facebook's religion blogs. That is 15 blogs ahead of richarddawkins.net, the atheistic author of The God Delusion. Those of you who have chosen to follow my blog are responsible for this. Thanks... I think. And thanks to those who have given my blog such high ratings. Your kindness is appreciated. I hope I am up to the task... I'll continue to write as I have in the past, and pray God will use my ramblings. Pray...
