We’re In The Air - On Our Way To Europe!

As you read this its a pretty good bet we’re somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, on our way to Amsterdam, and then on to Barcelona for our 12 day Mediterranean Cruise.

As we were packing our bags last night, our little Shih-Tzu “Nala” decided that she wanted to come with us. She hopped up into my half packed bag and looked at me like she was saying “please take me with!”.

Sorry Nala, there’s not enough room! We’ll be back soon!

I’m Going To Be Gone For a While, But the Blog Will Continue!

As I’ve mentioned on here a few times the past few weeks - we’re going on a Mediterranean cruise for the next two weeks! We’ve been looking forward to this trip for quite a while now, and the time has finally come!

We’ve packed the bags, stopped the mail, gotten someone to watch the house, made a trip budget, saved up for souvenirs and renewed our passports. The preparations are about to end, and the trip is about to commence!

Blog posting will continue!

I know what you’re thinking, “What will we do while you’re gone? What blogs will we read?” (of course I’m kidding). Never fear! I’ve lined up a great bunch of guest posts from a plethora of great personal finance bloggers, friends and family, so this blog won’t go dormant while I’m gone. The blog will continue on with its normal posting schedule - Monday through Friday!

If you send me an email or post a comment while I’m gone, and it doesn’t get answered or posted to the site -please know that it isn’t because I’m ignoring you - I’m just at sea without access to an cheap internet connection. I’ll be back in a couple weeks and will respond as soon as I can.

So we’re off! Thanks to everyone who submitted guest posts, the quality of the writing on this blog may actually go up while I’m gone!

August Top Referrers and Traffic: 100,000 Page Views!

Looking back at August 2008

August was another great month for Bible Money Matters as we continue our strong growth from our launch in January to the point today where we’re serving up daily personal finance articles, bible commentary and advice to over 375 feed subscribers, 15,500 monthly visitors and almost 25,000 monthly page views. In fact this month we went over 100,000 page views since our launch!

I’d like to thank some of our top referrers for BMM this past month. They include the following:

Thanks everyone, I appreciate you linking to Bible Money Matters! I couldn’t have reached 100k without you!

As many of you know my wife and I are going to be heading out for a 2 week Mediterranean cruise at the end of the week. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been on an actual vacation longer than a weekend, so this cruise is going to be just what we needed.

Since I am going on the cruise, however, this week I am going to be tying up a lot of loose ends. One loose end I’m in the middle of tying up right now is getting the blog ready to be self-sufficient while I’m gone.

I would like to have blog posts ready to go for most of the days while I’m gone. Getting 2 weeks worth of posts done in a few days isn’t easy though. And that’s where all of you come in. I’m putting out a call for guest posters to send in their submissions for a guest post.

Your guest post will go live on the site between 9/6 and 9/22. Right now I have 6 open guest poster slots. If you send in your guest post, you’ll get exposure on this site through your post as well as getting linked in the byline of the article.

I can’t promise that everyone who sends an article in will get a spot, but those who send something in within the next day or so will have a good chance of being included.

Thanks - and start ty ping up those guest posts!

Posts can be submitted through our contact page.

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day to one and all! Going to be spending some time with friends and family today. I’ll be back tomorrow with more great posts on money, faith and family!

Before I go, one last August update on cashcrate.com. For the month I ended up making $82.69 in money from filling out offers, and referring other users. That’s quite a bit more than the $27 I made last month! If things keep going that way, I’ll be able to quit my day job soon ;). Check it out if you haven’t already!
