How Often Should I Post on My Blog?
IMG_0355

David Jr. Jonathan & Dave

Just the other day someone challenged me to consider posting on my blog every day. It was actually my son, David. He heard about the idea on a podcast he listens to.

The author on the podcast, Seth Godin said it’s a good discipline to write something every day even if no one reads it. Well, I can’t say my ego can handle no one reading my blog 😉 , but it is something I’m considering. I don’t know if I have the time to write every day, but I probably could write more frequently. We’ll see!

Let me know if you have any thoughts on blogging more frequently? 

On the one hand, I do enjoy it, and I feel it helps me to get the word out about what the  Lord is doing on the border and the Baja. The challenge is finding the time.

At this point, I’m not yet convinced I can do it everyday, but I might attempt to post more frequently. Another friend of mine told me if you want to write a book you should be posting at least three times a week, which seems more realistic.

What do You Think?

I’d love to hear from bloggers and non-bloggers alike. What tips or suggestions might you have?

Thanks friends!

I’m just beginning my third year of blogging, and I’ve learned a great deal, and I’ve enjoyed the journey. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for all those that encourage me and my family on this grand journey.

One of my blogging friends, Cathy Craig Neil (you can find her at craigmotor.wordpress.com) was kind enough to nominate me for the following three awards:

As we head into the New Year I would like to thank all of those who read my blog post, and cheer me on along the way. I began blogging two years ago, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

I started this blog to let friends know what God is doing through our ministry on the border. My hope was to promote what we were doing, and to encourage friends to pray for us. I thought this would mostly be through people I already knew. I’ve been amazed as I’ve met new people through this blog that pray for and encourage us.

I would like to thank all that visit my blog, and especially those that pray for us and seek to encourage us along the way. You are a huge blessing to me and my family!

Here are some of the other blog sites from writers that have inspired me in 2012. I’ve listed a link to their blog, and their name if I know it. I greatly appreciate all of you!

There are many others that have spurred me on, and I wish I could list you all. Thanks so much!

Wishing You A Happy New Year!

Here’s a wonderful promise for you in 2013. It’s found in Isaiah 61:2,3 from the Message Bible. This passage describes our vision for ministry on the border.

“God sent me to announce the year of his grace—a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies—and to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit.”

Wishing you a Happy New Year!
