Sanctification

You may notice that our blog address has changed, not to mention the format, not to mention that all our old posts are gone...sigh...

Well, here's what happened.

Some of you reported to us that there were obscene comments being made on our previous blog. This is true, but understand that it was being done by "bots." Bots are little computer programs that scour the net looking for ways to mess up people's blogs, websites and email inboxes. In the case of a blog site a bot can automatically find the "comments" section of a blog, and then automatically make posts to it. Apparently that's what happened to our blog site, and therefore that's why there were obscene comments with links to trashy websites. As soon as this was brought to my attention I jumped to remedy the problem. I could just delete the comments, but the bot was still going to continue attacking our site.

So I downloaded the new blog software that had added security features that would prevent bots from attacking the site. Without getting too technical...with the click of a button I completely deleted our old blog, and all of the previous posts...sigh.

So I figured that since, providentially, we were starting from square one again with our blog posts, that I'd take the less stressful route and simply use blogger.com.

So please feel free to visit us here and keep up with our lives.

What a grief to lose all those blogs! I hope you at least copied them into a Word file for posterity... the last half year has been a special time in your lives.

I really like the new look though! So glad you're not giving up on blogging -- I always enjoy reading your posts.

God bless!
