Please don't stop blogging. At 86 years young, I learn a lot from you from each of your blogs during the week. But your Sunday post - that not only feeds my soul, I forward it to a dear friend of mine (when I received it by email) and she would share it not only with her two daughters but would print copies and hand it out to her bible study group who met at her home weekly. Then when they switched to Zoom meetings she emailed them each a copy. So, from all of us, please continue your wonderful sharing. We need you.

I came here tonight because I'm feeling unsettled and tense after a day of reading and thinking too much about current issues, and I knew I would find words of hope and encouragement on your blog. How right I was, and how grateful I am that you're faithful to keep writing what we need to read! <br /><br />I have cut way back on my Amazon shopping in the past year so as not to keep "feeding the beast," but when I do order from there, I use your widget, and I'll certainly continue to do so in order to offer at least a little bit of monetary thanks in return for the riches that I've gained here over the years. I'm sorry that you've felt the loss in that realm from the readers who have gone elsewhere. That's really too bad, but it's certainly *their* loss as well.<br /><br />By the way, I have been meaning for a while to invite you to follow me on Instagram. I don't post terribly often, but every time I see one of your posts there, I think to myself that I need to invite you to follow me (since my account is private and you may not feel like you have the right to request access). I won't be at all offended if you don't, but it occurred to me that it feels like I'm invited to enjoy your online homes so freely, and the least I can do is to return the favor. If you're inclined to do so, I'm @keriann1970.Keri Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214063579653274452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-45009292954233091472021-07-19T17:50:39.493-04:002021-07-19T17:50:39.493-04:00Amen, great thoughts thank you so much for sharin...Amen, great thoughts thank you so much for sharing.

We forgot about the enemy of our souls. <br /><br />I'm trusting in Christ alone for my eternity, but I am also glad to see so many awakening to what's truly been going on in our country as well as our churches. I don't think God is done with us yet, but we'll see what he has planned.<br /><br />Praying about it all!Deanna Rabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946588895797307347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-425997114862900172021-07-19T09:29:05.430-04:002021-07-19T09:29:05.430-04:00Thank you so much for sharing regarding the change...Thank you so much for sharing regarding the changes in our world and the coming of our Savior.

I have the same feeling flipping through some free magazine subscriptions I receive. (I've recently realized they aren't free ~ they cost me in emotions and peace of mind and I will not be renewing.) It is only because of Christ that I can make it through. aby914https://www.blogger.com/profile/11539449153680751141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-4403237115809575932021-07-19T06:40:49.703-04:002021-07-19T06:40:49.703-04:00Hi Brenda,

However, I want to express my discontinuing hitting on the amazon button regardless of what a help it is to you. Not to insult you, but to put them in their place, so to speak. Seems I'm the only one who is taking this stance that I know of. I follow conservative people who have been "discontinued" by amazon/google. So I quit Whole Foods, etc. See, my grandfather came to this country from Croatia in 1917. He became an American and fought in WWI for America. He believed in our freedoms. So long story short, I will not allow these people to bully those who should be able to have freedom of speech. They always told us don't watch, don't listen, change the channel. Did all that. When will they follow their own advice? I know, very heavy for a Monday. Not sure if you will post this, but I wanted to express my opinion. Thanks for letting me do that.<br /><br />LydiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-38122688685734232082021-07-19T06:12:49.832-04:002021-07-19T06:12:49.832-04:00Brenda I love your post but I have to admit to a b...Brenda I love your post but I have to admit to a bit of colloquialism.

We certainly live in unstable times and I cannot imagine how I could go on without knowing my Lord and Savior. It is His stability and strength and courage that keeps me going when all around me seems so bleak. There is light at the end of the tunnel -- and it is not a train -- it is the return of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446699803419287037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-78346532119995772992021-07-18T18:29:57.880-04:002021-07-18T18:29:57.880-04:00Great post.

I was speaking with my husband last night about what we do next…should we just wring our hands and complain or do something? I am not sure what to do, but we are looking. Your closing line mirrors the same thoughts, for you, prayer and helping others is key. For us, perhaps something different. But each dinosaur should help move us in the right direction somehow.
