When Everything Looks Great…Only To You

healingwounds

If you’ve gone to revtrev.com this week you would have noticed some more changes. I’ve been working on them for a while and really have been pleased by how they’ve turned out. The slider in the header I’ll change to go to landing pages for main topics I blog about. The tabbed widget on the left gives me a lot more white space even though it doesn’t work so well on any other page but the front one. The main [...] Read more »

Why Can’t TV and Movies Show A Little More Originality?

OK. I know. I’m a writer so I know genres have certain expectations. We expect problems to be solved in 10 minutes for sitcoms. We expect a certain flow and characters for an epic. We like happy endings. I’m not really put off with CBC seeing the success of BBC’s “Merlin” so CBC is coming out with “Camelot” this fall. I’m not expecting much from the knock off’s like “Canada’s Got Talent”. I can only ask “Why?” when I hear [...] Read more »

What’s Going on With Oprah?

I just found this video and it’s got me thinking. I can’t say Oprah’s turned to orthodoxy as a few people mention: …she promotes this new book called “A New Earth Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” and did a whole online series on it. Which states that? Jesus is important but you don’t need him to get to heaven. It states that no matter what God you believe in here on earth you will go to heaven. That’s why she [...] Read more »

Things I Observe In the North American Church…

I don’t like presenting problems without providing solutions. But I also know that solutions come as we ponder thoughts together, seek the Lord together, and together share our experiences. Here are some observations I’ve made about churches in North America. I’m not accusing or judging and I’m not gossiping. Gossip is when you’re not part of the problem or part of the solution and you talk about it. I’m both part of the problem and part of the solution so [...] Read more »

Can you do me a favor?

Oh the joys! A couple of weeks ago I realized all my sites got hacked. It took a while to find the holes and plug them up. It took longer to remove the 450 links to pharmaceutical companies on my sites. I had to manually clean them all out. Now I see I missed a link. I don’t see any signs of open doors so I’m confident the security I put into place is holding. Still it’s been inserted 140 [...] Read more »

Top 10 Posts for 2010

I a bit surprised at my annual review, even though I’ve been tracking it weekly so I’m not totally surprised by some. Here’s my top posts for 2010.

Responding to Emails…

I think I’ve contacted everybody personally…but I told a few I’d find the links for the questions they had and put them in a post. There are days I get amazed at how many people actually read my emails and blogs and tweets and respond with encouragement or questions I can help them with. I’ve had so many contact me lately I had to take an hour and respond to them all. I sent out an email asking people to [...] Read more »

How and Why Do I Blog so Much?

Top Posts This Week @ RevTrev.com I haven’t done the weekly wrap up for two weeks, I might explain more below. For now, just know these were the top posts since Nov 17th…I’m still trying to figure out an easy way to see which ones of the week I’ve posted are the top posts. A few plugins I’ve tried have really slowed up the site. 70 Functions of the Holy Spirit Angels – 20 Characteristics of Angels I See In [...] Read more »

I Need Your Feedback

I had a suggestion from a new subscriber who got her first weekly headlines and was a little overwhelmed. I really can’t blame her. All the activity that can take place in a week on this site can be a lot. Now I’m subscribed to a number of lists that send me daily emails with links from their blogs. I personally love it. I may be subscribed to them in my RSS reader, but I how often do I get [...] Read more »

New Site Design

I’ve missed my blog posts yesterday and I was planning on getting a few up today as well, but there were issues with site speed and theme continuity, so I needed to take some time and look into new options. I’m excited I found FrugalThemes. It was easy to set up the theme, and I only see one issue that I need help to get fixed – I can’t get to the home page. Anyway, I know it’s something I’m [...] Read more »

I Need to Make Use of What I’ve Got

Have you ever noticed how many times in the Bible people were told to look at what they had? Here’s a few that immediately come to my mind: The widow with oil The boy with the fish and bread David and Ahimelch OK, the last one’s a stretch, but the other two make great sermons. So What Do I Have On Hand? This week as I was setting up HopeInTransition.com in preparation of releasing the advanced copies of the book, [...] Read more »

You Already Have An Open Heaven

Bill Johnson is teaching on living out of what we already have. These are challenging thoughts we all need to consider. I’ve posted it here because I want to consider it more myself by listening to it again…and again…and again. Read more »

Videos I Did About Products in Our Store

I’m fighting a bad cold right now…(I type as I wipe my screen from something I hacked up). So I didn’t think it was good to do up a RevTrev This Week video I know I’m a bit behind and have yet to launch the How To Hope Mini Course and now I’m working on the 2010 Life Above the Negativity 40 Day Fast that starts Feb 17th. So  I was glad I found some videos this week that I [...] Read more »

How to Make Decisions for the New Year

We all have thoughts about the year to come, but how do you decide between the good and the best? As Christians we have the advantage. Here’s 11 questions to ask yourself. I left out the verses and theology behind the questions. Thought I should keep the video short . I’m having a lot of fun checking out the video clips I purchased before Christmas. Looking forward to doing more of these videos up. I’ve got some cool new features [...] Read more »

Christmas with a Capital “C”

A friend sent me a link to this. It made me laugh. Personally, I’ve always felt “seasons greetings” included boxing day and New Years, so I’ve never been insulted when people have wished it to me. But now with a ridiculous amount of political correctness silencing the most brilliant thinkers of our day, I guess it’s time for those of us with less brilliance and more tenacity to start standing up for things… like Christmas Read more »
