Too Much of a Good Thing? Lessons from My Dog

Advice from my son:  He didn't actually say less text, he said "You don't need a wall of text." Sounds like good advice to me. I was also talking to him about how often I should post updates to my blog and he said, "You know what they say about supply and demand."  I think he has a point.  Even though, I am really loving to write this blog, I think too much of a good thing can be too much. So, I will continue to carry my notebook around and jot down ideas as I have them, but I will probably only make three or four posts a week, unless something big happens.  I don't want to run out of ideas!!

    2. "Own" your body, curves and all!

  3. The Bible verse speaks to me as follows..if you are blessed enough to be under grace already, get about your business of serving God by teaching His Word and living by example. Do not be concerned with other things, just do it already. Jesus came to save every one, if it were possible. Do not forget the goal is salvation. Too often we lose sight of the plan. Good blog, I prefer text! Lol! A good read is what I enjoy.
