A day of rest

It took God six days to create the heavens and the earth before resting on the seventh day. That is what I hope to do today, though my work on building NSBNEWS.net is far from over. I am just so overwhelmed by the number of hits -- close to 4,400 early this Sunday morning.

Those who visit the Web site will see that some things are accessible while others either aren't or are empty. There is no way around this with very limited resources, though hard work and perseverance will pay dividends.

It really is exciting seeing this ambitious project become a reality since Tuesday's launch. As previously stressed, our focus is New Smyrna Beach and Southeast Volusia -- captured in stories, photos, videos and other graphics -- all part of a multimedia format where the world comes to greater New Smyrna Beach.

Please keep the e-mails and the "hits" coming. This is a great opportunity for Southeast Volusia residents and merchants to have an on-line newspaper to call their own. Amen and God bless this great community.
