Journal,
I just received a report from WordPress on how my on-line Journal fared in 2012. My blog was received in 138 countries, with the United States being first. The United Kingdom and the Philippines were not far behind.
Here are some crunch numbers –
Actually I’ve had 67,980 visitors to my Journal since it began, with 82,362 readings. (As of now. These numbers continually change.)
I am grateful for the attention that my blog has received. However, I would like to see my readership expand much more in 2013.
My reason for wanting to reach more people is that my Journal is a ministry tool. Everything that I place on my blog has an emphasis towards the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. Of course I realize that this may limit my readership since many in the world have little interest in God’s Son.
Be that what it may, I also know that the Spirit of the Lord has no restraints and knows no borders. The Holy Spirit can and does direct people’s hearts to the information they need to know. The Lord has used my Journal to reach untold numbers of hearts, including those from other religions traditions.
This is why I am re-centering my Journal in some respects, so that it can reach a greater variety of readers. I’ve added two items to my menu.
A great part of my on-line counselling has to do with marriages that are in trouble, therefore, I’ve added a new menu item, titled, ‘Marriage.’ (This study provides Biblical insights into the godly marriage.)
And since I also receive inquiries from Jewish people, I’ve added another menu item, titled, ‘Christians and Jews.’ (If you aren’t aware of the close relationship between Christians and Jews, you need to read this entry.)
I want to mention that of my 267 Journal writings, the entry that continues to bring the most readers is, ‘Passing Through the Valley of Baca.’ Perhaps you would like to refresh your thoughts with this entry.

Well, that’s it for now.
And as for my custom, here is a song you may love. It is based on Psalm 84, the very Psalm that my Baca entry is based on.
