Yeah, for this blog, April was a rotter–3,000 views less than I had last April. If I was a business, I’d be out of business. It’s all very discouraging. And there seems to be no remedy. Whatever they’ve done to my search engine ranking has truly clobbered me.
It is an affliction. Maybe not much, as afflictions go; but it’s my affliction, and I tend to take it personally.
But my Bible-reading this morning brought me to Psalm 119 (by far the longest chapter in the Bible: 176 verses); and by the time I was done reading it, I couldn’t wait to get back to work.
If the affliction comes from God, then He has a good reason for it that will ultimately do me good, even if I can’t understand it. When He afflicts us, it’s to deepen our understanding, and to test our faithfulness. And to deepen our strength.
If the affliction comes from some censorship johnny in Big Tech, the Lord will know how to judge it. Eventually the wicked fall into the pits they dig for others. The higher they rise, the farther they fall.
So what do I do? I’ll just keep going, keep on doing my best, and not give in. Let it be in God’s hands. And meanwhile I can post all the hymns I please.
If they’re holding me down, it means one of my fellow servants will be free to rise.
Let’s drive the Enemy crazy with a Whack-a-Mole game he cannot win.
That’s the ticket. We can’t let the enemy win, no matter what. Our Father always knows best.
“The battle for integrity is a victory in itself.”
I’ll second that motion.
Have you thought about having a presence on Gab? I think it as a social media that’s conservative with its groups might be a place that picks up some viewers
I wouldn’t know how to begin. My computer skills are almost non-existent.
Gotcha
Or try MeWe, which is also friendly to conservatives. It works like Facebook (and is actually easier/cleaner without ads) so if you can use that, you can use MeWe. Gab is like Twitter. I could help you if you’re interested, just let me know.
Would it be a simple matter of just setting up the page and then sharing my blog posts on it? I could do that, I think, if you can help me get started. Bear with me, most of this is stuff I don’t understand.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it! I will work on getting you set up this coming week.
Wow. Thank you! I don’t want you undertaking a big job, though. Don’t do it if it isn’t easy.
Good point about Mewe also
