BLOGGING CIRCUMSPECTLY
Circumspectly - heedful of consequences; prudent.
Kim over at Coffee and a Muffin just informed me that Dave Black quoted me on his blog today. I have to admit that I thought I was pretty safe over here in my unsophisticated corner of the blogosphere. The fact that someone else on the web (who is pretty widely read) would think to quote me has made me think about how carefully I should be writing over here. Sometimes I consider my blog to be just like my private journal. I think since more people are reading me over here I need to blog more prudently than before. It's not that I regret anything I've said so far (at least I can't remember anything :) It's just that I can't just write in a willy nilly manner. I think I need to read over my posts a lot more before I publish them from now on. I also need to remember why I'm blogging - to glorify God, not to get attention from man.
Also, I need to pay attention to what's most important in my life this day, training my children in righteousness and joyfully submitting to my husband and my God in all things. Hey, did you know there were so many prepositions? Here's the list we're memorizing right now -
aboard, about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath...
I really have enjoyed working in Jessie Wise's book First Language Lessons with my son these past two years. Suprisingly, at least to me, he really likes memorizing the poems and definitions of things. Hopefully my other little ones will enjoy this as well. I'm trying to find a new grammar curriculum for next year since this one only goes through second grade. Any suggestions?
One more thing before I sign off, since this post is kind of random. My son was just practicing his recorder. He asked me if I thought he played 'I Love You Truly' pretty or very pretty. I said very pretty. Then I said, "Did you play it for me?" He blushed and didn't answer. I guess he's getting a little shy about lovey dovey things since he's 8! But then I asked him, "Do you love me truly?" He said, "Yes. And I know Daddy does. And God does!" What a son. Thank you, son, for putting a smile on my face today. I love you truly too! (He just gave me a hug!)

Here's the good news, I changed my template, yeah for me!!
Here's the bad news, I lost all comments on previous posts!!! WAAAHHH!
Can anyone be of service???
Don't look at me! lol! I'm clueless.
Meredith, I hope I didn't do the wrong thing in linking to you on my blog. I really do appreciate your openness. Remember that anyone can find your blog and read it (sometimes just stumbling across it via a Google search). I always try to write my posts with that in mind.
I'm glad you changed your template. This one is snazzier! Blessings!
Kim, I don't mind you linking me on your blog. I just was surprised that someone like Dave Black would quote me on his site. I have no idea who reads my blog except for those who comment.
My dh said he'd try to help me recapture the old comments and improve my blog. How did you put that cool picture on your comments? Is that what you're doing today, making bread?
Blessings.
lol! No, it's my "profile pic". I took the link to you site off my post for your privacy's sake. Dave might've come here via that link and just wandered around and saw something else he'd like to post. I dunno. Whatever the case, it's an honor to be mentioned on his blog.
And I DO need to make some bread! lol! Blessings!
Meredith!
I didn't do much blog reading last week - to think what I have missed!
I try to be prudent when I blog, which is one of the reasons I don't always blog much. Prudence isn't one of my greater gifts. :^)
Blessings to you, my friend! Please continue as you have, it has appeared to me to be right and good. Your words seem to reflect the truths and desires of Psalm 139, and, as I have mentioned before, have often encouraged me to see my own sins and seek repentance and correction.
Stay with it!
I'm really happy to see you posting more. Love the template. :) I'm going to link you. ((HUG))
Meredith,
I memorized the prepositions when I was in school. I think about it all the time, and wish that I remembered them all. How refreshing it was to pop in and see that you're doing it with your little one. It's inspired me to do the same.
Blessings to you...
