Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

A hunting I will go...


Do you have a pretty set list of blogs that you read regularly? I do, and that list hasn't changed much in probably a good year or more. I'm kind of like that -- set in my ways.

This morning I spent a good half hour adding some blogs to my google reader. I added some of the lovely ladies at Catholic Cuisine -- a few whose blogs weren't already on my list, and a couple more that I enjoyed when I occasionally chanced by. It's kind of strange to go looking for new blogs -- like looking for a new friend.

If you are a reader here, please leave me a comment so I can add you to my reader -- I'm branching out! ;-)

    I do that sometimes, too. And then, sometimes all the blogs get too overwhelming and I have to purge. I do like making new friends, though!

    Make new friends,
    but keep the old.
    One is silver,
    the other is gold.

    A circle is round,
    it has no end.
    That's how long,
    I will be your friend.

    :-D

    I only purge the ones I lurk on. ;-)

    Funny, I just did the opposite. I had to purge because of too many in there. Many had not updated since last year so they were the first to go. And others I had put in there as a type of bookmark that was no longer needed.

    ... of course your blog, dear Barbara, was not cut. :)

    I read your blog Barbara - albeit quietly - I don't end up leaving a lot of comments.

    I have had to clean my Google Reader too - just too many to read.

    But I have always enjoyed your blog, and I like it that you post often.

    Have a great day!

    Kelly,
    I was composing a comment on your blog at almost the same time you were leaving one here. I think it's a sign. ;-)

    Thanks, Angela. Of course, I read your blog as well, but the unfortunate part of Google reader is we don't always click over to comment. I need to do more of that! Have a great weekend. Hope you don't run into anymore elk!

    I'm a reader and follower. Enjoy reading, however, commenting on any blogs has become irregular as I try to do it one handed most often (my little one is in the other :). Stop on by if you can!!

    It's always fun to find new friends. I'll be checking out your updated blogroll--as someone said above, there are some I need to delete from my reader as they've gone dark now.

    I think about this from time to time. I do add a TON of blogs to my reader...usually because I felt a connection w/ that person, or they commented back to me or something. But I'm a little weird like this, and it's not personal, but for me, there are some blogs that I read for information - like how to do stuff, and I just bookmark those outside my reader. Then there are others that I read b/c I feel like I'm friends with that person (like you, Barbara!) and I like that that person comments once in a blue moon. I also always visit the blog of someone who just commented on my blog for the first time. Of course, for me, blogging is about connection with people. For others, it's a business - so of course they can't go reading 600 blogs. =)

    I just did this same thing within the last few days. I needed to take out some out and I'd really like to add a few that 'fit' me. I did search a little, but that takes so much time! Looking through the reading lists of favorite bloggers is helpful, though.

    When reading time is limited, I want to read what is interesting or uplifting or leads closer to Christ, ya know.

    Btw, just purged my list, too, like some others have said. I have found that I just don't have the time to read them, not that I follow that many. But I do agree that it's nice to find new ones occasionally. I've been seeking new cooking ones. That's been fun.

I appreciate your comments -- sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself!
