“You don’t get many views!” he laughed.

Tell me something I don’t know.

I don’t post for numbers of visitors or views. I post to tell the truth as best I understand it, for as many, or as few, persons God sends here, and for my grandchildren.

We don’t live forever. So hoping for truth had better take priority over the quest for ephemeral popularity and numbers.

And I choose the written word over doing podcasts (which he recommended in vain) which can seldom be remembered, located, or referenced even a couple of weeks or months after dropping into view. Some people get many thousands of views and cheers and “likes” no matter what they say or do in a post —or just for burping.

It’s not what I’m after here. I can only do my best to confess the Faith (Matthew 10:32)

Nothing on earth lasts forever.

* 48,247 as of Jan. 23, 2025 to date, since 2021. Many get that number in two days or less, especially on podcasts. “Views” does not necessarily mean numbers of visitors since a visitor can, and often does, view more than one page in a visit a day.
