And Then There Were Few

in: People

Monday and Tuesday this week we hosted one of Integrity’s Seminars4Worship conferences at Lakeview, which was well-attended and from all accounts was an even bigger success than the last time we hosted them. This time we had free wireless internet, which was well-used, and there was only once when people had some connectivity issues which I believe were related to the firewall and/or cable modem and were easily fixed (good old power cycle!).

After all the people early in the week, we now are in the midst of General Council for the Assemblies of God, being held in Indianapolis this year. We’re a bit too small to hold the thousands of attendees at Lakeview, so it’s actually pretty quiet both at Lakeview and at the District Office this week, for some odd reason :-) As an outreach set up to coincide with General Council, Convoy of Hope is going to distribute tons of food to the community on Saturday. Lakeview has hosted two events in the past (Day of Blessings and Day of Blessings 2) with Convoy of Hope where we distributed food to thousands right from our parking lot, and it looks like this outreach is going to be even bigger: bigger venue, multiple churches, lots of people.

That’s the long and short of it. Lots of people at the beginning of the week, very few around the end of the week. And some posts on web hosting coming soon, because I’ve taken on a project (well, several related projects) that mean more work and more fun!

    If it’s quiet at Lakeview then surely that means more time for blogging, so it can’t be all bad!

    I often stop by and check your blog, makes good reading, keep it up.

    ha…ironically, following the lull at the end of last week, this week has been the busiest in months, with computers being reloaded, not working, new users and setups…maybe I shouldn’t post about the slow times and jinx it!

    Thanks for the complements; coming from a marketing blogger I can’t help but suspect Google Juice as an ulterior motive but I did turn off NoFollow so more people would comment, and I’ve been known to leave comments alone even if they’re partially spammy as long as someone took the time to actually comment intelligently on what I wrote (I’m not accusing you of spamming, just making an observation! I stop by and read your blog as well.). And hey, who doesn’t like complements and blog readers? :-)

    David, sounds like it might be a while
    before your next post then!

    I don’t do spam commenting, honest,
    although I do support the DoFollow
    blog movement as I believe someone
    taking the time to make a comment
    should be rewarded with a little
    Google juice.

    My Blog is also DoFollow, feel free to
    comment any time! You might like the

    All the best,

    Simon,

    I actually ended up posting three times in one day this week, which is probably because I’ve been staying up later than I should writing blog posts, but also because with everything going on, I’ve actually had lots of topic-fodder. One of those was just a link to my wife’s new blog, and another was an update to an old post, but the third one had quite a bit of meat to it…shorter than my original review/how-to but still a bunch of technical details and links to put together, making it take a bit longer. I had needed to write it for a while, but I was prompted to start by, what else, a comment with a question! Before that, I got excited about PassPack (and still am), so I had to knock out that review…always something new to write about :-)

    Like I said I wasn’t accusing you of spamming, and DoFollow is intended to get more comments! If they have complements, so much the better ;-)

    I actually saw your Nutella Virgin post a couple of days ago; I’m not even sure how I ended up there but it was pretty funny!

    Thanks again for your comments,

    ~David Szpunar
