Comments are Appreciated<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to write a quick post to thank people who have written grateful or positive comments regarding the things I’ve written about God. I tend to think of myself as a sort of invisible person. I don’t see myself as someone other people think about or miss. I don’t have the feeling that I’m important to other people or that I have any influence. That’s just my nature. No matter how many times I get a word of thanks or support, I am always a little surprised when it happens.<\/p>\n

The encouragement is very helpful.<\/p>\n

I thought I was writing for a few dozen people, but when I looked at correct versions of my site’s statistics, I learned I was getting between 1,000 and 2,000 unique visits per day. That was a little sobering, because it meant I was in danger of affecting a significant number of people. I realized I needed to be careful. <\/p>\n

I don’t know why I get so few comments these days. I think the scarcity of comments helped give me a false notion of the size of my audience. I don’t care if people choose not to comment, though. If you don’t feel like it, don’t do it. It’s your business.<\/p>\n

I don’t try to build an audience. I am not planning to try to make money here. I am not interested in running a busy forum, either.<\/p>\n

I hope that whatever influence I have will become more and more positive. I have a lot to make up for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
