This actually had incredible results, for we had several families that attended our church as a result.
When I retired my finances changed, but not my ambitions. I would still love to publish these stories in papers around the world. I would also love to travel to countries and read these stories to groups everywhere.
I am naive enough to believe that words can be a catalyst, especially words that glorify God.
I have learned that we have not because we ask not. Because my obsession/ambition is so far reaching, I know very well I will need a lot of help.
There is a second reason for my reluctance to ask for help. I feel very obligated to convey my thanks to those who help me, and I am already unable to keep up with all the wonderful friends who have lifted me up on their shoulders so far.
I feel I should also mention one more topic, ads on my blog. I am thankful that Google is willing to share income with their bloggers. Facebook and Twitter put ads on also, but none of that income is shared with the writers. Hence, I have switched to the blogspot.
It is not a get rich scheme. So far I've earned $5.49 USD on Google Ads and $19.49 at My Amazing Amazon Store.I want to monetize by ads because I strongly feel that tithes and offering should go to local churches, and I am determined that I will not take from that which should go to local churches and missions.
I feel I have chosen well by selecting Google, Amazon, and one other unnamed company to be the ones I work with. This brings me to the top ten list. I have made up a list of ways that you, my readers, can help me. In typical David Letterman fashion, I will begin with #10 first.
Top 10 Ways to Help Promote The Parables

Remember to only go to the store through the bookmark.
1. Most importantly, pray for Mary and me, that God will stretch out the tent pegs of the tent called The Shepherd’s Heart Journal, The Gift Parables, and the posts and send us many helpers.
You’ve heard that the 1st shall be last etc. In this case the first AND the last are the most important. Read. Pray.

There has been almost 30 thousand views on my blog, as of December 20, 2011, with almost exactly half of that from outside the United States in 106 countries and interpreted in 34 languages.
God has been providing for my necessities. With your help, The Parables can experience God’s abundance.
It is insanity to believe these stories can, with the help of an all powerful God, change the world.
I love being insane!
