Kamryn's Hope Story

January 21, 2017 40 Comments

Four years ago, we got word that overnight an underage driver had crashed into our church accidentally. The car blew up and everything caught on fire. Thankfully, the driver was okay. However, the whole back of our church and everything in it was ruined. It was such a shock. The fire was absolute devastation, and while so much was lost in the ashes, H O P E remained.

Hope can look very different. Sometimes it looks like bringing a bunch of chairs into the parking lot for service when it's your only option for Wednesday night worship, and sometimes it looks like community outreaches that never may have happened if we would have had a functional building. After a few years of repairing what was broken, our little church of 80 members had new buildings that were taking the place of what was ruined, and we were finally back to normal. However, this isn't the end of the story.

In August of last year, we celebrated our church finally being finished with a "stock the kitchen " party and dinner on the grounds. We were so thankful to have our church back. One week later, we heard that there was a possibility of a flood in our area. Little did we know, most of the state of Louisiana would be under water within a few days. Everyone was trying to prepare for the flood by getting sand bags and putting everything as high up as possible. Fast forward a day or two and everyone was either housing neighbors who had lost everything,

out in their boats trying to rescue people from their houses, or on their way to a shelter or any place of safety because they had nowhere else to go. So many structures went under water, including our church. The current of the water rushing through the hallway of our church was so strong that random things from the river and houses nearby were floating past the men of the church as they waded waste deep trying to save anything they could.

Though almost everything was ruined in the water, H O P E remained. Someone from out of town that we had never even met was generous enough to leave everything behind and move into our church. Still today our church is being fixed as good as new by someone we didn't even know. Churches from all around sent money and volunteered to help in any way needed. A local church lets us use their building every Sunday right after they have their service. In what seemed hopeless, hope was always there. Hope not in the fact that we were able to restore what was broken, but that we were able to witness the Body of Christ come together and help one another in time of need.

I have seen the difference of perspective of losing everything between Followers and the rest of the world. The Followers have a totally different outlook because

He is the one thing they can't lose when they run to the end of themselves.

H O P E.

In the flood or the fire.

It would be nice to know what, if any, impact these commenting systems have on SEO. Also, is there a benefit for the commenter? Does one do better with backlinks than others?
All of these comment systems nofollow links in comments, so there is no benefit for the comment author (except for referral traffic) and there shouldn’t be any harm to your website for linking out to potentially bad sites if you didn’t moderate your comments well.

Postmatic allows you to keep your native comment system, and also lets you comment via email. So, you leave a comment, and if someone replies (or leaves a new comment) you get an email notification. You can then just hit Reply to the email to leave a comment (the email becomes the comment).
Epoch is their “skin” that offers three versions – use your own typography and colours, use Epoch (which is like Disqus), or completely native. It’s super fast too, and very mobile and SEO-friendly.

Hopefully Kristi won’t mind me jumping in here to say that the free GrowMap antispambot plugin (GASP) works best for me. Without it, my blog was getting 1000+ spam comments a day. The day I installed it they dropped to 40 and most of those were real. 100% of them were manually created.
Thanks, Ann. What I love most is when I comment on a site for the first time and see they’re using it. The plugin has spread far beyond our usual communities to major sites and blogs in niches I’ve never visited before.
