I put many links to my Catholic articles on this blog and that's what brings the majority of searchers. People looking for Catholic kids crafts, printable Lent coloring pages, etc. I just wanted to say thank you. Not just for reading my blogs and articles (though that is how I earn our living): what I'm so thankful for, what blesses my socks off, is that of all my niche blogs (and I have about 30 successful ones) the best-performing ones are about our Catholic faith.
On Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, I had a record number of hits, three to four times the normal amount on Lent-related searches. That delights me. More than the Disney coloring pages, free printable cartoon activities, even Christmas and Halloween crafts, my Catholic articles do the best. On every feast day, I can count on searches for "advent activities for kids," "printable Lenten devotional lessons," "printable rosary prayers" and the like.
I write about news, much of it discouraging, for my bread and butter. Most of the subjects are negative, sad are ugly. I write about children dying, parents hurting, people's despair and misery. The Catholic, homeschooling, faith, mommying articles are my treat and retreat. When I write about "how to have a pet funeral" or "fun crafts to make for senior citizens" that's my therapy; that's what helps me purge the soul grime. When I see that beyond all the entertainment, commercialism and worldliness, people are looking to connect with God through my paltry writings, I'm so grateful. Thank you. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
