Visitors!

I recently added a nifty little bit of software to this blog! It provides some limited information about my visitors - and I am amazed at how widespread you all are!! I have folks logging on from Motherwell to Manchester; from Rugby to Reading; from Leeds to London; and from Stockport to Swindon. There are folk from Bellshill, Royston, Worcester, Dartford, Luton, Glasgow, Ayr, Harthill, Inverness, Swindon, Sunbury, Wickford, and Matlock. And those are just some of the ones from the UK! There are also visitors from a number of other countries - and sometimes from different parts of the same country. Folk have logged on in Australia; New Zealand; Switzerland; the US of A; Canada; Denmark; Israel; and Mexico. It's really exciting - and somewhat humbling (yes, even for me!!) - to know that people from all over the UK, and all over the world, are reading my words, and listening to my audio messages.

However, the one important thing that this software doesn't provide is the identities of my visitors! So, a request. Unless you have a particular reason for keeping your identity secret (and I fully respect any such decision), would you please use the "Comment" facility to let me know who you are; where you live (general area - not full postal address!); and what improvements you would like to see made to the blog? If you would like to make more personal contact, then leave me an e-mail address - although I have to confess that I am not the best correspondent!

Of course, this two-way communication has a spiritual aspect, as well! Father God has made His approach to us, through the Bible. He has even revealed Himself in the Persona of the Son (listen to my audio message on the Trinity!). But so often we just "log on", take what He offers, and then disappear. That's the importance, for the Christian, of prayer. It's meant to be, not just some sort of celestial shopping list - although our prayers of intercession are of the utmost importance - but an opportunity to tell Father God how wonderful He is to us.

You may not want to respond to my blog posts, and that's perfectly okay. But don't miss out on a full relationship with the Lord, simply because you don't take time to respond to Him!!
