It's Time to Grow Again...

I'm humbled in many ways to watch God's hands work in the lives of our writers and audiences. So many have grown. It's truly exciting.

As we step farther into the dawning technology that the internet provides, I'm pleased to announce that the Next-Step-of-Faith website is also getting more tech savvy.

WE ARE ALLOWING LINKS TO OUR WRITER'S PERSONAL BLOGS!

For a long time, I've intentionally tried to decommercialize the Next-Step-of-Faith website. I've not wanted one reader to feel like they were being asked to give anything more than their time or their feedback to receiving the talents on our website. I'm chosen to protect my writers email addresses from spam robots by not providing direct emails.

However, the good news is that several of our writers have bloomed to start their own web blogs, a place for their own stories to be told, and their own writing practice to be improved. I am very proud of all of you, and I am blessed to know that in some small way, the Next-Step-of-Faith website helped to encourage you to take your writing seriously.

So, starting this month, the Next-Step-of-Faith website will be adding links to all writers' bio pages who have blogs. We encourage all of you to add a text or graphic link to the Next-Step-of-Faith website. I've uploaded the HTML code to the "For Writers" page on the website.

If you have any questions, just let me know. I am looking forward to the May Issue of the "Relative Steps" to announce this new feature to our readers.

To give you just a few examples of blogs using the logo, check out:

I look forward to hearing from all of you soon about your blog interests.

Blessings to you all,
