I too have been blogging for what seems like a long time now, though much less frequently than I used to. I am trying also to get my head round use of social media. <br /><br />I am clear in my own mind that more lengthy articles need to be blogged rather than fb'd or G+'d. But the thing I notice is that the blog traffic comes mostly through fb now. Twitter much less. In a sense, fb and twitter seem to be gateways to more extensive treatments of topics if one wants it.<br /><br />I am still trying to get my head round it all am constantly asking whether this is useful or a waste of time!!

Does "Exiled" refer to something in your own history, such as a move to another country (say, Wales to England), or does it refer to the sense in which all believers are exiles?L https://www.blogger.com/profile/04903967140464360127noreply@blogger.com
