One Thousand E-Mail Subscribers!

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Jay F Guin

1000This may not be a big deal for some bloggers, but I’m pretty excited to have just hit 1,000 email subscribers to OneInJesus.

The crazy thing is that I began 2014 at around 600 email subscribers — meaning I was adding less than 100 subscribers per year on average. Now, I’m adding about 25 a day, starting just a few weeks ago. I couldn’t be more astonished.

I have no idea why things have changed so dramatically. The WordPress stats package and Google Analytics don’t show any activity regarding the site that would generate this kind of increase. So I’m clueless (an all-too-familiar feeling).

(And I’ve checked the database. It’s not spammers. They all seem to be real people.)

Anyway — I’m flattered, humbled, and more than a little surprised. Thanks very much for reading.

    I am one of your new blog followers & would say first, THANK GOD for an elder that studies, presents & defends the Word as you do. I have always been astonished how most elders are not “out in front” leading their congregation, but instead, felt that abdication of their responsibilities to “others” was within their authority. Scripture is clear that the shepherding of the flock was left in the hands of the elders; this awesome responsibility & the time that it takes cannot be delegated, nor taken lightly. This is why clear qualifications for church leadership were spelled out. You obviously have taken this obligation seriously & I applaud you for that, & pray for your continued success.

    Jay, this is good news indeed. I’m glad that several years ago one of your readers urged me to get acquainted with what you were writing. I figure he’s been telling others also! And I admit that I also have spoken to my friends about Jay Guin and what he thinks and says and writes. I hope that some of these new readers are as pleased as I am that you speak truth and call for others who love Jesus to also love and walk in truth.

    So in Godly speak, this is but “one” e-mail subscriber. Ahem, just kidding.
    Keep going! We need more conversations on God and scripture.
