Hehee. This side of eternity? On the same page? He-haa!

Hi Karen,
I bet our poor children wouldn’t be able to get a word in edgeways! :-))

I find it easiest to know my blog is ‘out there’ on the web with regular readers- readers who actually do follow the blog because they tend to get to know me (like yourself) and can follow along throughout months and years. I guess I struggle a little with the one off visitor who reads one post and forms an opinion…yet they don’t know the path I’ve walked, or what shoes I’ve worn in order to be here. I know that is part of life but with moving around so often and ‘starting again’ in new churches and new locations it just wears a little thin.

Tehee, sometimes I’ve thought about removing the contact form from the site so no one (other than regular readers) can email me. But I don’t.

Thanks Karen, you are a sweetie- even if you aren’t blogging regularly. 😉

Hi Alecat (or Catherine, which do you prefer?) Thanks for stopping by- your blog is gorgeous! I’m also conscious that my children’s lives are shared on my blog. I mean, it’s one thing for me to share MY life, my thoughts but I do need to respect their privacy- not so much now when they are still young but once they get older.

Jacqui ~ Love ya! 😀

Blessings to you all, 😀

Dear Cathy, The Matrix? I have tried to watch the movie twice now but keep falling asleep every time. It hurts my brain. Honestly, I’d like to watch it as many friends say it is a good story with strong parallels but it just makes me :yawn:

Hubby, My Man! acckkk, you commented on my blog. How cool is that. Tehee, I love that you’re a bit biased. :kissblow:

Amanda, my sweet friend, yes you say lots of truth and wisdom. You did ask if my recent posts were directed at blogging in particular and I have to answer in the affirmative but…but also on the Internet in general and in Real life. however, to try and clarify I have been struck lately with how many websites/blogs, etc are being set up and used with a point of ‘teaching’. The personal sites of sharing are on thing but some sites are being set up as ministries and are not so much sharing rather ‘teaching’. These are the types I have a little gripe about.

you wrote:

If someone seems to be on a legalistic path, then praise God that we are not, and pray for these poor bound ones!

And naturally I agree 😉 but I can’t help but speak out…I’ve been a believer long enough to spot it and see it coming from a mile away but I hate to see younger believers falling for it- because of a deep desire to follow the narrow way yet never-the-less get sucked into legalism. And here is the dichotomy. I know and trust that God is sovereign and He will lead them into Truth (that’s my Calvinistic side coming out) yet I also know that we are not supposed to sit on our hands do nothing while others are tying themselves up in knots (is this possibly an Arminius streak in me? :sidefrown: )

I know why I blog and I desperately want to be real in my blogging, but I also desire to take care that my written communications reflect Christ in my life. Ah my friend, you have not missed the point to my post. My gosh, I’m rather chuffed that anyone could muddle their way through it long enough to try and see a point! You gals all deserve a coffee, made with love by my own personal barista. :coffee:

Hi Leonie– I agree! I know that a few life experiences a few years ago saw the direction or focus of my own blog change – from primarily homeschooling to real life. That’s not to say that homeschooling isn’t real life- of course it is! Rather that I couldn’t post about how to do copywork, how to read aloud, what to use for maths, etc as my heart just wasn’t in it anymore so to write about it would be a dreary chore. So over the last few months or so, there is less and less homeschool related stuff and more of our life, but with privacy. I love your blog. I love the way you write about anything and everything and are not restricted to just exercise, or just lessons, or just faith. 🙂

Thanks Precious People’s 🙂

Hi Ruby,
Thanks for sharing our thoughts. I did check out your posts on blogging and commented them too! Thanks for pointing them out to me- great stuff and well worth the read! 😀
