My Apologies

I finally had some time to do some maintenance on my end of things here this morning. Normally I just have time to do what has to be done to keep the fire from raging out of control, and sometimes I don’t even do that. (As you know, we’ve been having quite a few problems with our server these last few weeks. Thanks to the diligence of Joe Stallard, we’re hoping these problems have been resolved.)

So this morning when I saw that an old email address was still listed on our PayPal donation site, I was really upset—at myself. This meant I was not getting acknowledgements of your donations, and had not been responding with thanks for you generosity. I felt terrible. So many of you have given to us so we can continue the upkeep on this site, and you are probably wondering just why I have not written to you with my gratitude. It’s simple: I was not getting acknowledgement of your donation.

I have been getting balance updates from PayPal, and transfer that money into our bank account. (It’s an account with Arvest Bank here in Oklahoma, and used solely for Internet Monk. I have  my personal accounts with a different bank, keeping the two as separate as possible so there is no appearance of monkey business. I’m just trying to be open here with you.) But I have not been getting notification of individual donations.

I fixed that this morning. Now when you donate to us using PayPal, a notification will be sent to me at my iMonk email address. Then I will—Lord willing and the creek don’t rise—send you a note expressing my sincere thanks.

All donations are most welcome. Some send five bucks, some more than a thousand. Some donate one time, others on a regular basis. And I thank the Lord with each donation for his faithfulness to us, and pray his blessing on you for your generosity.

So, will you please forgive me for this long-overdue correction?

And will you please join with me in thanking Joe Stallard for keeping InternetMonk cruising along at warp speed?
