A small favor



So many of you tell me that you stop by and "peek in" on what I'm writing once in a while, but you don't leave a comment. Can I ask a small favor?
Would you take just a moment and leave a brief comment and your name so I will know you were here?
It's a small favor to a curious writer who is just wondering who is "peeking in."
thanks.

I am one that peeps regularly but never writes. I do talk to you on the phone every once in a while though, does that count?

I'm one who stops by a couple of times during the week. I enjoy your writing, bible verses, pictures, cartoons, etc. You help me remember what's most important in life. You're so honest about what you're feeling that day or week and rejoicing with the Lord for your blessings or turning to Him for solace and peace. Keep up the good work. I've shared your blog address with family so come on Mom and Sheri. Love to Joye

Mike, my question/comment isn't so much about the writing (which is always excellent, otherwise I wouldn't read it every day), but rather about the photos you constantly pop in to your posts. From where do you obtain them?

I always stop by. I don't comment; just sit and drink coffee.

Thank you all for your comments. If you blog I know you wonder if anyone is interested, so your comments are very encouraging. Thank you.

Chris- the pictures have turned into a "hobby" of sorts. I have about 10 sites I visit for just the right picture for what I'm thinking. The pictures are also inspirational for me...I'm a visual thinker, so the pictures really help.

thank you all for the encouragement.

I am also a daily peeker that does not comment. I to enjoy your writing, bible verses, pictures, cartoons but mostly your honesty about your journey. It is all very encouraging for me. May the Lord’s blessings continue to flow through your life and your fingers.

Joe Martin,

I am a periodic peeker who enjoys the way you share your journey with the Lord and I can nod my head in agreement or ponder a point or just smile in amusement at a story or picture. I appreciate your honest sharing but I haven't commented before to let you know.

I'm usually checking in about once a week to get caught up with your encouragement. Thanks for blogging and always being a great friend and pastor. Please don't finish the well anytime soon - I'm still drinking the water!...Kerry

Frequent visitor and frequent commenter (is that even a word). I have shared your blog with others. I check in not only for encouragement, but to check your "pulse" over the last year to see how I might pray for and encouage you.

I come under an alis in my postings, but I have disclosed my "real" identity to you (not sure if you remember as it was in passing at church).

I am also a frequent visitor, but seldom comment. There is no spell checker on this page! I do often forward your blog when I email freinds. Mike McM. A local, or loco whatever

I've been reading your blog for the last year and really enjoy it. Your posts really make me think.

We moved away from Texas last Spring and I look forward to hearing a "voice from home" daily.

I am more than a peeker...I am a "ruminator". The things you share resonate so much with me that I usually sit and ruminate over it for a while, then carry it with me the rest of the day. I appreciate your transparency. You have been and continue to be an encouragement to me! I start my day with a "Mike ruminations", praying that I, too, will finish well.
