I am also bad about posting as frequently during the summer since both of my boys are home during the day :) Right now blog stats are crazy thanks to all the google changes, a lot of big blogs have taken number hits thanks to changes in ranking.

You just didn't mess around in church. Her father was a minister.<br /><br />You know I think reading blogs is the best part.

However, it is said that when they reach advancing years, they gratefully return to the peace and wisdom of faith. <br />I think it's a blessing to have those experiences in your background!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-84708933555201516632013-07-19T07:11:48.207-07:002013-07-19T07:11:48.207-07:00Great post Betty!

To be honest, I didn't pay attention most of the time and kind of zoned out. I'm sorry you got pinched too!<br /><br />I have been blogging even less time than you so at this point it is hard for me to figure out the ebb and flow of blogging. Right now, I am enjoying reading yours and other blogs and not blogging myself so much. :)Losing Shortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452707165688228094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-69416889338757918332013-07-19T06:08:11.644-07:002013-07-19T06:08:11.644-07:00Summer is a toss up for me.

(and read along the same lines too!) :)<br /><br />I have to say, the only thing I learned in church was how much I didn't want to sit on those hard pews or on my knees! LOL Oh, and coffee. I tried coffee as a kid under a buffet table at easter with a bunch of other kids.
