There is always so much in your pieces Mr Raymond. Your writings belong to that category of writings you have to read slowly, meditate on, and then fully grasp the meaning. This one in particular is something I have to take notes on. I really like that statement, "Faith in God is faith directed at God." And I am going to read the entire article again. So thank you.

The other reason I am commenting on your article here is because I like how you are distributing them. Medium alerted me about it because I put an alert on you. I like what you write. My only request is to teach me how you first write here on Substack, put a photo from unsplash, and then transfer it to Medium. I prefer the articles here because I can easily find them than on Medium. I would be grateful if you can teach me how you do that. Thank you Sir.

The first thing you want to do is sign up at https://substack.com. I believe there will be tutorials on how to set up your newsletter. When you are done, you set up a mailing list which can be imported from one you already have (say, from Medium). And when you publish, your newsletter gets to everyone on your mailing list.

On the Substack writing page, you will see a photo icon. Click on the icon and you can select you downloaded Unsplash photo from your computer into your Substack writing page. When the photo is fully downloaded on the Substack page, click on the photo and you will see a drop-down menu. Select "Edit Caption" then scroll down to the bottom of the photo and paste the credit details you have copied from Unspalsh at the bottom of the photo.

When you are done with your newsletter and have published, you then go over to your Medium page and click on "stories", then click on "import stories" You will see a placeholder where you copy the URL of your article on Substack and paste into the placeholder. Your story is then imported into Medium page. You may need to do some clean up, like, resizing the photo, adding the credit to the bottom of the photo, resizing the heading weight, adjusting paragraph height where necessary, etc.

When you are done, publish as you would on Medium. Tnat's it!

I hope this has been helpful? If you need further help, I will be more than happy to help.

Regards.
