I received an anonymous comment from someone that was upset about me spreading "The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge" button on people's blogs. Because she left the comment as "Anonymous", I have no way addressing my response to her personally, but responded by posting a comment back. (Please feel free to read the
comment left by "anonymous" as well as
my response.)
I also want to apologize to anyone that I may have offended or upset by posting the comment about The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge. My intention (as I stated in my response to "Anonymous" was for us to join together as homeschoolers in an effort to clean up our homes and hearts, and by doing it together, offer encouragement to one another. I in no way, meant to upset anyone. If you are someone who received one of my comments on your blog to spread the word about the Challenge and were upset by it, please delete it from your comments and email me letting me know that you wouldn't like to receive anything like that anymore. I know in the past I have sent out prayer requests to those on my friends list as well, and certainly don't want to think that I'm making people mad by doing so.
I'm also in the process of setting up a new category on my blog, "SISTERS & BROTHERS IN CHRIST". Here I will list anyone who feels that our blogs can share an important ministry to each other through prayer requests or important information on bettering ourselves or our homes. Our blogs can be a wonderful way to learn and grow from each other, as well as keep each other posted on urgent requests. Those on the list are saying they don't mind a comment being left in order to spread the word about these types of subjects. I will post more on this later so please check back if you're interested in being on this list so you can let me know.
Again, I apologize if I upset anyone and ask your forgiveness.
In Him,
Amy
•Monday, March 27, 2006 - Hi Sweetie...
Your blog has always inspired me and I enjoy visiting with you and learning so much... thank you for always sharing your thoughts and ideas with those that visit you.
May I share my thoughts with you regarding the "Tag Free" zone... I feel our personal blogs are to post what we want to share with others. While we visit others blogs we are more than welcomed to comment on what they have shared with us.
I believe the "anonymous" post that was left with you was asking you to contribute to their blogs thoughts and comments pretaining to their posts. Perhaps then others would not mind you posting your personal comments with them. I can't speak for others, but it is truly a give and take with blogging. You give a little of yourself to other fellow bloggers and they in turn enjoy visiting with you and that is how one becomes blessed to have "Friends" coming back again and again... hoping to receive the same from you over time *Ü*. That too is how friends "Spread the word..." regarding blogs they enjoy visiting... before you know it you begin to inspire and help so many *Ü*
I hope I made sense... as it is not my purpose to shy you away from posting with others.
Please feel free to e-mail me privately anytime...*Ü*.
Wishing You a Beautifully Blessed Week...
Deborah
