New DALANEL Feature: Daily Good News
When I first started DALANEL in August of 2012, it was an incident that drove me to bring about this positive spin on the world as we know it. I had read an article, I forget what it was about, but it was bad. And that day, I just became sick of the news.
So, I wanted to do something about it.
And so, it started easy with stuff like Weekly Funnies and Good Friday posts. Then, it expanded to Daily Good Stuff, which sorta combined Weekly Funnies and Good Friday material. This became the leading feature for the blog.
And while it’s been a hit for you, in terms of views, I have decided that, it’s not enough. It doesn’t quite answer my initial problem back last year. The main point of DALANEL is to…I don’t want to say fight, but, to go up against the likes of ABC, CNN, NBC, and all of their “friends”. They bring more “negative” news than we really need.

It’s Friday and today is going to be a good day. Thursday marked the fourth day in a row that DALANEL set a viewing record. I said I would wait for a week before I take this as the new normal. Thanks for the views and I hope you truly enjoy the experience.
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:3
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Kahlil Gibran
Youch!

Okay, it’s the middle of the week. I know what you’re thinking: Actually, I don’t know. I know what I’m thinking: It’s hump day. Am I suggesting you go and find yourself something to…be fond with? No. I’m just saying: It’s hump day. Wink.
Dante then proceeds to post scripture, making people question where his values are.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10

Oh gosh there I go with the hump day thing again. Terribly sorry about that. But listen…let me know if this inter-let me stop. Moving on to the videoooooooooo!

I have to start this post with some fantastic news. Yesterday, DALANEL set another record for viewing. It was extremely bizarre. For one thing, in just five minutes, the viewing spiked up dramatically. I’d say it increased 3-4 times where it was before. I thought it was a glitch, especially since the past few days were a little quiet. But no. As some of your other WordPress users can testify, I got a little notification from WordPress saying that “Your stats are booming!”. That’s the second ever time I got that message and I took it as this strange burst of views was legit.
So, here we are. I now have to figure out if there’s any way to repeat this because if I can, then this blog takes a bigger…a major step, in the “successful blog” category. And that’s alright with me. Thanks to all who stopped by yesterday; you were part of something great.
Also, I’m just a few followers from 800.
And now, to the post.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Your positivity can become a castle around you which will protect you from the arrow of negativity. ~Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu
Daily Good Stuff 217: Veterans Day
Today is a really nice day. Just about all of us know somebody that has served in the armed forces. So, this post is for all of the veterans out there.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-17
But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for,
Is their monument to-day, and for aye. Thomas Dunn English
