Expanding the blog

After only one week we already have 6 followers, and we are continuing to expand the blog, with the goal of creating a substantial reader base. We already appear on the second page of Google results for the search "Fifth Great Awakening" (there are over 10 pages of results). We are also considering created a Facebook page, either for the blog or the "Fifth Great Awakening" in general.

Please help us expand! If you are reading this blog, please tell others about it. Tell them on Twitter or tell them in person. There are thousands of Americans who agree with the message of this blog, but who, without your help, will never hear of it. I hope in another week can double our followers and reader base, and I believe we can do it if every reader helps.

Well, we have to begin somewhere

I am pretty new to blogging. I have some experience working on the internet but I have never managed, and barely edited, a blog before. Even though I am speaking in the first person, I am not going to use my real name in posts for purposes of privacy. In fact, my real does not matter for the purpose of this project.

I happen to believe that in this country, the United States of America, there will be a Christian revival in the coming years comparable in many ways to the "Great Awakenings" of our past history. I am writing this blog to spread this idea and, honestly, to help myself understand what I am thinking!

I will elaborate on all sorts of details as I get the feel of blogging and find worthy news stories, writings and thoughts of my own, etc.

I have had this idea, or some form of it, for almost two years. You may consider it crazy, or unprecedented (which, examining history, it is not) or simply unlikely. Think what you want, but I want you to read this blog and read the posts here, and think about it.

Without further ado, here is a link to a wonderful essay detailing one take on this proposed "Fifth Great Awakening." It is entitled "The Coming Fifth Great Awakening in America." Read it, or just skim through it. I believe that some of its observations and propositions are truly insightful.
