Staying Put, No Change

I had considered starting my blog from scratch recently. After looking at some options I decided to stay put. I have close to 500 followers and I am close to 5000 posts so making a change wouldn’t make sense.

Yes starting over can allow for fresh creativity and a opportunity to have a new focus. However building on what you have can present opportunities.

My readers and followers would have to follow another blog and you have to keep them in mind too. Staying put can be good too.

So my friends, thank you for following me, sharing your lives and ideas here on Tumblr. God bless each of you.

I also recommit to Tumblr. The purchase by Yahoo can be a great opportunity for creators. Yahoo needs to feel they are getting a return on investment. Use Yahoo to help make your blogging better.

“Hello there, my good people.”

“God, give us peace and teach us again to fear not. May we live in community with our neighbours and love one another.”

Change

Change it’s a part of life

You find it in your pocket

Old gives way to new

Its about the times

People, places, faces in transition

Regeneration from one person to another

The seasons come and go

Growing in life and love

Coming into life and passing into death

It is a human thing

Technology getting better

Going from war into peace

Adapting and adopting

Its about you and its about me

Jodi Arias Trial

I am tired of this Jodi Arias trial thing. The jury is deciding her ultimate fate now and they are deadlocked. This whole thing leaves me scratching my head. Lots of people are murdered around the country but their killers don’t get this level of overexposure. The media has been on this case for weeks. Please end this, America is tired of it.

Tonight we went to a Church choir cookout at the home of one of our members. We had hamburgers, hot dogs and all the sides. Yummy stuff.

Starting Over

A fellow blogger just went and deleted her whole blog and restarted from scratch. This person had her reasons for doing it and I can understand why. I have 493 followers currently and close to 5000 posts. With that being said should I do the same thing? Starting a new blog would mean losing a big number of my followers and deleting a lot of good posts. My blog is an extension of me. There is something to be said for preserving and building on your history while other times its good to have a clean slate. What to do, what to do,  what would you do?
