I’ve heard that question asked a few times, and it deserves an answer. The truth is, I started off writing on just one blog for more than a year - CultureFeast.com - which to this day has yet to successfully find a niche and faithfully stick to it. I used CultureFeast as my everyday blog. It included my prose, introspective thoughts, and commentaries on pop culture, sports, local news, etc.

As I’ve developed my online marketing skills, I realized the obvious benefit of running niche blogs. You can build regular readership more easily that way, because your readers know what to expect. Once you establish that standard, you will build repeat readership.

I have many interests, so I began new blogs to cover specific topics. Some of my friends were visiting CultureFeast and were getting tired of reading about search marketing, so I realized that a search marketing blog was called for. Essentially, what I’ve done is taken a few of my favorite categories from CultureFeast and turned them into unique, individual blogs.

I am looking for some cool folks to jump in and contribute one blog a week so that my readers don’t have to wait on me to get back around to each site. Blogging daily on all my sites isn’t really an option, but I do the best I can. If you know someone who might like to show off their knowledge or writing style online once a week, hit me up. I’m really hoping to make more of those connections.

Posted on: November 7th, 2007 God Works in Mysterious Ways

It’s true. I’m sitting here on my couch, wondering what God has next for me. I am grateful for the provision he has shown me in the past, and I have no reason to expect him to bring that to an end now. I am blessed. I can say that without hesitation.

We are four weeks away from our baby’s birth. I am extremely excited. All I need now is for God to open the right door for my future.

It’s ironic that I began a major 3 week dietary cleanse on Monday. It seems that this cleanse was a prophetic act, and God is helping me to cleanse the toxins and impurities from my life. I do feel extremely relieved, despite the circumstances. Like a weight has been lifted from my spirit that I no longer recognized.

You and I both need to be reminded at this moment that we do not war against flesh and blood, which means that people are not the true enemy. People do things to hurt us because they are hurt and they have believed lies. That is the simple truth. All people are God’s creation and potential recipients of salvation. People may do horrible things to others and lie to themselves about their own motivations, but the truth is that they are simply hurt people doing things that hurt people do.

I am a wounded person. You are a wounded person. Let’s extend grace toward one another because we will only be held accountable to God for how we treat each other.
