perspective and training for the life of the Spirit
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 »
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 »
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 »

I’m not sure always thinking about the future is the best way to live, but as long as do what God has for me to do today I knows the plans I make are guided by the steps He directs. I’m excited for RevTrev.com in 2012. I’ll tell you why in a little bit. I’m also excited about what God seems to be doing in other parts of my life. I’ll share those things with you in time. I suppose [...] Read more »
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 »

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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
