I had the most interesting discussion in my Sunday school class about blogs. I had gone to read a post at Beth Moore's site and was astounded by the number of comments that she receives to her posts. Even though the post that I commented on already had 351 comments, I just couldn't resist leaving my own. What is it about Beth that makes each one of us sure that she would be our best friend if she only lived next door to us? I told her that we all just want to go to lunch and shoe shopping with her. Oh...and have her lead our neighborhood Bible study!
Anyway, my friend Dawn assured me that more people were reading my posts than commenting. I was sceptical, but she encouraged me to add a free site meter from sitemeter.com. I did it yesterday (and I have to say that I'm very proud that I did it all by myself even though I'm pretty dense about this techie stuff--it's more of a testimony to the ease of using the site than my brainy-ness!), and I'm so surprised! There really are more people living life on the pathway with me than I thought! For all of you that are very well versed at this, stop laughing at me! I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
It's really lighting a fire under me to post more often. I don't want any of you to give up on new posts in the future!
Here's the thing I'm most curious about....I LOVE to travel. My grandmother says I have wanderlust. Anytime anyone asks me to go anyplace, I'm up for it. If I have to use my passport, that's even better. I saw that I had one post from Canada. For any of you looking today, I'd love to know where you're from...even in the US. Would you take a second and leave a comment to let me know?
Soon I'm doing a post about my dachshund, Hilde. Any other weiner-dog lovers out there?

Amy -
I love your blog site. I get the Encouragement Today e-devos and yours on "Who Is Jesus To You?" prompted me to view your blog. It was filled with wisdom and it really touched my heart. God is using you in a wonderful way! You go girl! Can't wait to see what Hilde looks like! I have 3 beagles and a hamster!

Amy, Your love for the Lord and humble desire to serve Him is such an inspiration to me! You have so much to offer, and I just knew there were lots of people out there reaping the benefits!
Love and Blessings!
Dawn
Thanks, too, for the link to my blog!
LOL (that means laugh out loud!) :) Just kidding! I am so glad you are getting into this. You are such a blessing and yes from experience I can tell you that many more people look and read these than comment. That is okay though. It is all for the glory of God not how many comments you get. It is nice I bet though to be a blog that gets tons of comments. Then again there is also much more to keep track of! :)
Much love to you friend!

Oh Yeah I am in TN!
Amy,
I would NEVAH (never in Southernese) give up on you!!!! I can so relate to what you wrote. Your blog is so beautiful, but you and your heart are even more beautiful. You inspired me to get into this blog thing. We are on this journey together and I'm so glad we are friends and teammates!
I'm not a weiner dog person actually, but I do love my doggie (5 lb poodle named Princess:) And I'm going to check out that sitemeter.com. What a great idea.
Love you girl,
Melissa
Amy,
I just found your blog through Marybeth's website, and I'm so glad I did! May I add you to my blogroll? I have just started the whole blog thing this year, and it's fascinating, isn't it?
I am from SC, and I don't have a dachsund, but I do have a 50 lb. Goldendoodle. You can read a story about her and see a picture on my blog.
