1st Anniversary!!!
Thank you for your encouragement during this first year of New Shepherds Orientation. Your reading, “liking” on Facebook, commenting, and emails have been helpful. I would like to ask two favors:
Request #1.
Take a few minutes to fill out this survey. It will help me understand who is reading, what has been helpful and not helpful, and what you would like in the future.
This survey is anonymous. It will improve my focus in writing during 2016, and beyond — if the Lord wills.
Please complete the survey by January 26
Request #2.
If this blog has been helpful to you, please share it with 3 others. Send your friends to this link: New Shepherds Orientation/Subscribe
They will receive a free copy of my eBook, Guidelines for a Good Discussion: how to lead a peaceful conversation about powerful things, when they sign up for blog notifications: New Shepherds Orientation/Subscribe
