As of 4:00 pm PDT, this blog has reached 1,100 pageloads. Although it may seem trivial to most folks and sure, it's small potatoes for most bloggers, I'm still amazed at the growth of this blog since it's launch on Friday, January 9, 2009.
Some other stats as of now:
- It's had 412 unique visitors.
- 332 first time visitors.
- 80 returning visitors.
- In February, the average daily site visits were 16.
- In March, the average daily site visits were 18.
- The top post, at a total of 20 views, was my post on the missing teen Amber Dubois. (Please keep this family in prayer!)
- The blog has 12 RSS subscribers. It hit a high of 18, with an overall average since inception of 8.
- The blog has a Technorati authority of 1, with a ranking of 2,495,866.
- UPDATE 03/20 @ 10:00 am PDT: The blog hit 100 comments! (Not including the 100+ spam comments that Akismet has caught.)
Again, probably nothing to write home about, but I'm content. I know God is doing a work here. I've learned much in two months and I've met some wonderful readers. Thank you for being a part of it. Please keep me in prayer that may continue to do God's will with it.
May He Increase!
About the author
"What a wonderful open door God has placed before the church of today. A pagan world, weary and sick, often distrusting its own modern gods. A saving gospel strangely entrusted to us unworthy messengers. A divine Book with unused resources of glory and power. Ah, what a marvelous opportunity, my brethren!"
J. Gresham Machen, God Transcendent, page 154.
Joe......"we" got ourselves a God!!!!!!!!!!
Amen! That is awesome.
Very cool Joe,
I enjoy checking out what you have to say - especially because you are about Glorifying God.

Thank you, Philip. I've enjoyed the journey so far and am hopeful of the plans God has for me in the future.
Once again your post prompted my old mind about a beautiful flower that was in the middle of a forest that no man traveled. If no man ever laid eyes on this beautiful creation from God......how does He receive glory?
Well......He created it and when He brushes all the angel's aside and looks down on that single rose that no one has seen...........He is pleased with His creation and He does receive glory!
If no one ever came on your blog.......ever......guess what? Ole Joe is down here on his computer giving his Savior "glory"! What a privilege!!
Ike,
Thanks for your encouragement. That's all I'm about and my goal for this blog: for the glory of God. I know at times I've missed that mark, but that is my heart's desire!
Joe,
I am excited for your growth in a short time. I pray that God will continue to use you and your blog for His glory.
I am glad that I don't have that level of stats to stare at. I look at the stats for my own blog enough as it is.
Jeff,
Thank you!
Yeah, I've just always been a stats kind of guy. I know that's the way God wired me. I just have to be very careful not to go down the same path David did when he took the census of the people. I suppose it's a fine line. I just have to constantly remember what my purpose is and that this is all for the glory of God.
Joe - One of the great thing about blog (or any electronic web contents in general) is that you write it once and it's available 24/7 for anyone anywhere in the world. It doesn't get weary (like books). So, keep up the good work. It can also be a journal of your own life, which you can come back and read years later (may be when you get old)
Love in Christ,
Bino.
Thank you, Bino!
That means a lot to me, brother.
