Ron Graham’s Report
— for Oct-Nov-Dec (4th Quarter) 2022

This page reports my work on simplybible.com for the information of those who take a special interest in that work.

20th Birthday for simplybible.com

Late in 2001, I sat down at my computer, connected to the internet by dialup, and imagined a website.

A year later, simplybible.com went on line. By that time I'd learnt to code in HTML, Javascript, and css; and written 80 web pages. It was pretty basic, but so were most websites then.

As the years hurried by, I battled with the “cross platform” chaos and the conflicting rules. I've been challenged by the swift progress from clumsy devices to modern notebooks, tablets, and smart phones —all in just two decades.

Over time, simplybible.com was enhanced with the following "social media"...

Over the 20 years I have authored 1553 study pages on simplybible.com plus extensive indexes including those generated automatically on the spot for a user's specific request. There are more than 2000 visitors to the website every day.

So one continues to build this website with the help of Jesus and some of his good disciples. One hopes the work has blessed you, and will bless you, and many others.

While the Lord gives me strength and opportunity, I'll keep simplybible.com growing and try to keep up with the times and technology.

New Pages on simplybible.com

In this 4th Quarter of 2022, we prepared 5 new study pages and added them to the website. This brings the number of study pages on the site to 1,553.

The new pages are...

Facts About Paul the Apostle; The Throne and the Abyss; Names and Titles of Jesus; Facts About God; The 99 Sheep Not Lost.

YouTube Videos

There are now 1,170 subscribers to the video channel. Our YouTube channel is www.youtube.com/simplybible if you wish to have a look.

Other Work Done

Besides the writing of new lessons, there were a number of minor edits required as there always are. I resumed posting on Twitter and Facebook @simplybible, and we shall see how that goes.

Other Matters

CHURCH. We continued to hold Sunday morning services in our home, with one Christian lady still meeting regularly with us using Facetime. She was able to join us in person on one Sunday. Another friend from Vanuatu, engaged in farm work in Australia, came to stay with us for a weekend and joined our service.

Thank You

Thank you for your continuing help in the Lord’s work. Thank you also for your continued prayers and your interest in my work on the website. Our labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Love and best wishes in Jesus.
