Only sort of closed. Just temporary.
UPDATE: OK, so maybe closed isn't quite right. I'm looking to rename my blog, and change the focus on what I write about. There are lots of you both on blogger and facebook who have encouraged me that this blog is appreciated. I'm just tired of being hurt by negative, hurtful, mean-spirited, and misguided comments and messages. Many I don't publish, some I have. You may not see it all, but I do since it comes to me. And sometimes it feels too painful.
One thing that made me reconsider closing this entirely is a sermon I watched early this morning. I was up all night watching various things on T.V. I watched "Love Comes Softly" and "Loves Enduring Promise" and had a good girly cry a couple times during those movies. With it being just me at home I've kind of been a basket case. But I also watched a sermon by Charles F. Stanley called 'A Call to Godly Living'. It really spoke to me and gave me the courage to stick this blog out.
The sermon this week by Charles Stanley totally blessed me in the wee hours of this morning! My sleep is all off and I have no energy at all because of my arthritis. I'm sore and stiff and I'm basically awake when I can be awake, and asleep when I can actually get some sleep right now. I've been feeling so down and lonely this weekend, being home alone, and this message TOTALLY encouraged me!
If you catch this post within the week you can view the sermon here OR if you come to this post later you can purchase this sermon here. I plan on purchasing this sermon as I know this is a message that will encourage me again later too. Additionally you can read the sermon outline here
I still think this button is true for my blog...
But I am uplifted by the many kind words today. It's those of you who are kind who continue to make it all worth it. For the moment I'm still going to keep the archive off of the site, but will return it after I've migrated some posts for my own reasons. I tightened my blogs visibly as far as it being able to be searched for. I am also removing my e-mail address from my blogger profile and blog. Hopefully these measures will help shield me some from mean internet trolls.
Thank you to my kind readers. You are true friends!

Please remember that because I have comment moderation setting on that you will not see your comment immediately. It will become visible after I've had a chance to log on and review it. This is meant to to keep my blog from holding comments that are spam, hate speech, or inflammatory remarks from internet trolls.
Additionally your comment can't be anonymous or just a first name. Doing so will mean automatic rejection from publishing. This is meant to make commenters accountable for their words. Along this line, if I know you have an open ID and you don't use it, your comments will be rejected.
My blog, my rules. Pretty simple really.
