How to Let the Bible Read You

revtrev news

Welcome to everyone that signed up for Twitter Tips, LifeAbovetheNegativity.com and RevTrev.com this week. I’m continually amazed to see how many new people I get to meet whenever I check the email.  In my new job I commute about an hour each way so I’ve gotten back into reading A LOT. I’ve had to put a moratorium on reviewing books. I have four sitting in front of me and another five ebooks I’ve promised to review. I have another five [...] Read more »

Soon…Can Be a Four-Letter Word

soon can be a four-letter word

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2012. For those of you who have signed up in the last two weeks to Twitter Tips, RevTrev.com or LifeAbovetheNegativity.com you won’t see the difference. For those of you who have been here for a while you’ll notice some significant changes.  I had several people tell me the newsletter was too long and as the person who was writing them I had to agree. I’m switching over to a new format that has less [...] Read more »

Top 11 Posts of 2011 on RevTrev.com

happy new year 2012

I’ve been told by my hosting provider that I’m using up too many resources with RevTrev.com. That got me looking at my stats for page views to see what the issue could be. It’s humbling and a little scary if you knew half of my plans for RevTrev.com. I really need to find a host that can effectively handle the traffic. Few people told me this was part of the process for a successful blog. Anyway, that’s my problem not [...] Read more »

Training and Encouragement Will Be More Structured on RevTrev.com

help - encouragemetn and training

Training and Encouragement Will Be More Structured on RevTrev.com in 2012. I’ve decided to pull my knowledge of social marketing and blogging, and book writing, publishing and marketing into RevTrev.com. I may have time for some coaching in these areas so I think the best way to see if there is any interest in my experience with these topics is to blog about it. We’ll see what happens. I’m also setting up email courses for topics I’ve written on – [...] Read more »

4 Things to Never Forget About Christmas

teachingtlChristmas

Does it feel like Christmas is coming in your part of the world? My sister returns from Africa in a couple of days. She’s home for Christmas and them off (I think) to the Dominican Republic for another short term missions trip. She’s been asked by the organization she was with in Africa to write a book about her experiences. I’ll show her how to plan the book out and will likely publish it through ExpectancyPress.com What makes it “feel” [...] Read more »

Changes to the RevTrev Newsletter

New to RevTrev Newsletter

The subscribers to my weekly newsletter will know I have regular features that are usually included and special features that may be in and maybe out. Next week’s newsletter is going to be highlighting a couple of changes to both. First off, the regular feature called “Blogging Buddies” has been changed to “RevTrev Recommends” I started having “blogging buddies” because I found out when people commented on my posts, other people would also comment. I thought if I would do [...] Read more »

7 Things I’m Thankful For…

why

I’ve had this continual thought: “You need to be thankful” confronting me at the weirdest times. Knowing I’d be reminding myself as I remind my readers to be thankful, I decided to make it the topic of this week’s newsletter. Then as I listened to the market report I was reminded tomorrow is American Thanksgiving. (We have a shorter growing season in Canada and so celebrate ours the second Monday in October.) HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my American readers. Have [...] Read more »

Welcome to the 75 new subscribers this week to RevTrev.com, LifeAbovetheNegativity.com, and Twitter Tips. Drop me a line and tell me about yourself. I did a post this week on 10 Random Things About Me if you want to get to know me a little better. Sorry to all my Newsletter Subscribers and thanks for understanding the hiccup on Saturday with the 2 emails sent out when I only wanted and expected 1. I’m confident the issue has been fixed [...] Read more »

Changing the Things We Can

I did it. I took the plunge. I swallowed the red pill. I transferred my many sites to a new server promising better security and faster load times. I’d better not be seeing those 508 resource errors again any time soon. I tell you, the more traffic you get to your site the more you have to learn about the technical side of hosting. I need thank all my new readers for being part of the problem of overloading my [...] Read more »

God Knows…

If I’m not dropping off kids, it seems like I’m running to meetings. Not that I’m complaining about any of it. It’s all fun work I’m doing. I’m just finding I have to answer emails and comments late at night after the kids are asleep and I can’t do it everyday. I want to welcome my 73 new subscribers this week to LifeAbovetheNegativity.com, RevTrev.com, Twitter Tips and Expectancy Press. Drop me a line to tell me about yourself. I do [...] Read more »

How Do You Handle a Cold?

You might have guessed from the title that I’m fighting a bit of a cold. Colds astound me for many reasons particularly because when I expect to get them I get them. We’ll discuss this more below. Want to welcome the 55 New Subscribers to RevTrev.com, LifeAbovetheNegativity.com, Expectancy Press, and Twitter Tips. I look forward to meeting you. Please drop me an email and tell me about yourself. Now on to this week’s newsletter as I’m sneezing all over the [...] Read more »

5 Ways I’ve Failed at Confrontation

It’s one of those weeks with interesting phone calls, facebook messages, meetings and emails. It’s not even just because I stepped in it (more below). There are other hard conversations and emails in completely other directions. Man, you’d think I was paid to be a pastor. Anyway, I really need to thank everyone for your encouragement. It makes me feel good to know I’ve encouraged you in some way and blesses me so much to find out you’ve been praying [...] Read more »

How to Fight with Honor

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all you Canadians. I’m just getting over the extra turkey I shouldn’t have had. I’ve some issues with RevTrev.com – wordpress started missing automated posts. Good news for me is that others with more talent had the same problem and wrote a plugin for that so things seem to working again. I’ve been setting up an advocacy site so this newsletter is a little sparse. Enjoy though. A big welcome to all my new readers. I [...] Read more »

Why It’s Important to Make A Decision

It looks like I’ll be sending out this newsletter on Wednesdays for now. Thursdays have booked up for me. We actually had some very exciting news this week and the complications that arose from the exciting news seemed to have been worked out. My father-in-law gave us his brand new car the day I started my new job. Phone calls, faxes, texts and emails had everything work out. It really seemed like an amazing turn around day for us. God’s [...] Read more »

How To Respond to Criticism

This has been one of those kinds of weeks. I’m not discouraged, but more amazed at the emerging pattern. I have a muslim who calls himself a cleric who wants to debate me on Twitter. I have a reader who keeps emailing me arguments from 1800 years ago who I sense wants me to convert to gnosticism. I’ve told them both, “I wasn’t argued to the faith I have, I can’t be argued from it.” I’ve never really seen debates [...] Read more »

How Does God Discipline Us?

Things that have been put on the shelf are slowly being made useful again. It’s that way for my blog and honestly, it feels that way for me as well. I may tell you more as time goes on, but for now let’s just say I’m being blown away by the goodness of God and the kindness of friends and family. A big welcome to the 42 new subscribers we had this week on  RevTrev.com, LifeAbovetheNegativity.com and ExpectancyPress.com. This is [...] Read more »

The Coolest Thing for Submitting Job Applications

I got some information on what makes a good newsletter. To my surprise, I’m actually doing almost all of it. I realized I shouldn’t try to get everything in I want to in a week and that’s it’s OK to mix up features. All that being said, I’ll stop calling these “short” newsletters. My bigger surprise this week was to find out this newsletter goes out to at least 78 countries. Check them out. If your country is missed it [...] Read more »
