Going Viral

I’ve just been reading an article about what makes a blog go viral. I’ve got one advantage from what I have read, I’m a woman. But so far I’ve been writing little short, pithy blogs and going viral mostly happens to longer blogs. Why would I want to go viral? I would like to go viral because I write about knowing God and I want more people to find Him and worship Him in spirit and in truth as He deserves to be worshipped. I am a Local Preacher in the Methodist Church in Britain and my congregations average about twenty people each Sunday. With my blog I could reach millions of people and surely many of them want to hear about the Christian God who sent Jesus to die, so that anyone, throughout the whole world, who will put their trust in Him will be saved, have their wrong doing cleansed away and be ready and fit to spend eternity with Creator God. The Christian God isn’t just for white people, He is for anyone who will turn to Him. He isn’t just for respectable people but for those who have lived on the seamy side of life, but now want something far better. My blog is called “Preaching with a Purpose” and my purpose is to reach out to as many people as possible throughout the world and tell them there is a certain hope for them if they will turn away from the life they are leading and turn to Jesus who will turn no one away, who comes to Him. As I sit at my PC in Devon England it is amazing to think someone the other side of the world might read this and turn to Jesus. I’ve been a Christian since I was seven. May be the whole of my life so far has been leading up to this moment when the simple things I say about faith might touch many through this blog. I also write on Squidoo so if you are interested you can find more of my stuff there. I’ll put a link below. It’s my birthday today and I am 66 years old. I have felt God’s presence with me throughout my life and I long to pass on this knowledge to anyone who will listen. So many pass by and live their lives without the knowledge of God. What an empty existence. If you are a believer, like me I would be very encouraged if you would comment on this blog. Also if you have stopped to think if your life is empty I would like to know. I wonder why I don’t just get on with my knitting and forget about my blog. Knitting isn’t going to reach out to you with the gospel of Jesus. The internet probably won’t be free to all soon and then it will be too late and I won’t be able to tell you that Jesus died to set you free. So when you can hear this message respond and ask Jesus for the pardon only He can give. My Pages on Squidoo

How do you cope with depression?

There are two main types of depression, reactive, which is a reaction to your circumstances and endogenous, which is a part of your makeup and not entirely affected by your circumstances. I get the second type. When I am depressed I like to sleep a lot, this is probably not a good thing as depression can lift if you do not have extra sleep. It is all very well knowing that , but acting upon it is another thing. Exercise is also beneficial. Some sorts of depression can be lifted by taking these measures, but some people need medication. You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.

Reasons to learn a new language

I have been learning Russian for about a year.  There were times when I felt like giving up, but   something would come along to cheer me up and I redoubled my efforts.  But why do this at 70?  When I had already started learning I heard a programme about dementia and apparently learning a new language, it is claimed helps to put off the onset of dementia.  So there, indeed, is a good reason. It is one thing to learn to read and write a foreign language but speaking it and understanding it when spoken is another thing.  So how do I help myself with these things.  One thing I do is to listen to Russian on my phone.  Even when it is in the background I believe my brain is receiving it.  Just as a baby learns to speak from being surrounded by the spoken word in the home so if I listen eventually it will have a good effect.  I have the Bible recorded in Russian.  I was brought up on the Bible and know quite lot of the Bible and so ...
