		<description>Hi Joel. My wife gave the Mother&#039;s Day message at my church this year--harlly seems fair, huh? I&#039;m the pastor and she gives the message. Oh well, she did great!

Hey, if it&#039;s not too much trouble can I ask you something?

I&#039;m frustrated with my blog. As a pastor of a large church, I have close to 1,000 readers a day on my blog, but still have a low authority on Technorati. I want people to see this beyond North Carolina, but I guess I don&#039;t know how to get people to link and that seems to be the issue. I mean, I’ve learned that this is because I don’t have enough links to my blog site.

Why does this matter? Because I want to start reaching out to people beyond just the church, and to do that I need to get this blog up higher on the search engines.
I was wondering if you would be willing to put in a link exchange with me at www.robsingleton.net. If so, please send me an email to robtherev@gmail.com showing me where you’ve linked it and I will do the same. I know you will want to make sure we are on the up and up, so please check out our church, www.southbrookchurch.com and my blog to see if you would be comfortable with doing this. I&#039;ve seen enough and know that I am.

Look forward to hearing from you!

		<description>Hi Joel,

I agree 100% I could never do Amber&#039;s job.  As tough as my job can be, I would never trade it for Amber&#039;s job.  I&#039;ve been able to stay at home with Zack for a week before while Amber went to a wedding in TX and while I absolutely loved the time Zack and I had together I was ready for her to come home!
