i wasn’t sure ‘bout putting “pen to paper” on this one, so to speak, but, the same still small voice that’s been moving me all along has been nudging me to do so, so, here we go … ya see, this whole askapop thing originally was going to be something different, but, when laying on my back in the hospital a while ago, God put it on my heart to pick back up Pappeye’s “round tuit” ministry …. this then led to me handing out a tuit to a fella that wasn’t all that happy with churches and …. honestly, i’d already had the website bought and we were already discussing the connections ministry so we launched it, later adding youtube when God starting His whispering again (looking back, i’m SURE He knew all along where we needed to be, but needed us to be ready first, allowing us to take “baby steps” before walking and then starting to run) … anyhoo … this leads me the post today, which i wasn’t planning on making, but, as we’ve firmly established, i’m not in charge here, He is … 😀 and that’s a-OK with me!!!! …. in the last 7 days i’d made 3 other posts but no videos because, well, thanks to the flu i sounded more like a cold commercial than a human being, but, yesterday i started to resemble SOMETHING like myself, so, i recorded the 3 videos to “catch up” … now, knowing the youtube algorithms and how they work with the channel, if i post the video and the short at the same time, wait 2 days and then post the next one, then, we get the maximum “throughput,” … plan ready, but, the still small voice reminded me that these topics are all three things that folks needed to hear … my knowledge of the algorithms is that if i release MORE than 1 video at the same time, the second video will actually compete with the first and both will fail …… but that still small voice reminded me that all three videos are important NOW … well … you guessed it … all three were released within minutes of each other and, guess what …. all three have exceeded views of any other videos for the entire month …. of course He was right … if you’re watching or reading this when it’s posted, it’s the first day of Advent 2025 and that’s the “Hope” day, but, really, can’t every day be Hope day 😊 …. i wanted to share this not to show how God is looking after the metrics on a youtube channel, but, how our Awesome and Loving God is looking after each and every one of us each and every day whispering still soft words of encouragement, wisdom, advice, and love ….

Questions
