Just wanted to share some info with you. As you and I both blog about making disciples (though we both are practicing it not just preaching it) I thought you might be interested in a fact I discovered today.

You may or may not be familiar with technorati.com but they index blogs and help you find blogs through tags and categories. Every time I blog about “making disciples” for example, technorati.com shows my blog post to those who are searching for “making disciples”. Anyway, they have a little graph that shows how many people are searching each day for various topics. When I checked to see how many people are searching for “making disciples” it was between 8 and 10 searches per day.

There are over 350 million blog readers worldwide combing the blogosphere for content and only 10 searches on average for “making disciples”. “Discipleship” is a slightly more popular search with an average of about 50 searches per day. I know that not everyone in the Church reads blogs but if that is any indication of the popularity of the subject it is a pretty dismal statistic.

Anyway, I’m finishing up seminary in another year and meanwhile I am investing in my neighbors and my church family and trying to live a transparent and open life. Kim and I pray for you a lot and we are always excited to hear updates about what is going on in your corner of the world.
