I'm thankful for the community of bloggers that I'm in relationship with and I think I'll just stick with those. There's enough wisdom and encouragement on those blogs that I won't really miss the others.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-66065200404139842042009-08-10T20:06:36.839-05:002009-08-10T20:06:36.839-05:00Bino,

I've had to weed out my subscriptions in the past, and I have to do it again. So many of them are <i>great</i> blogs, and it's hard to unsubscribe from <i>any</i> of them, but the world and I <i>will</i> do just fine if I'm not able to read them all. :) LOL<br /><br />Yep, I use Feedreader, and I ended up doing the "mark as read" thing on those 457 posts. Actually I read a few of them and then did that. I'm going to begin using <i>Feed Demon</i> because it has a "Panic Button" that you can press if you get too far behind. :) (I'm waiting till the next version is released because it's supposedly going to be compatible with Google Reader, and then I'll switch to both).Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-81993020809462530682009-08-10T13:48:21.531-05:002009-08-10T13:48:21.531-05:00Joel - I was just wondering what you did with thos...Joel - I was just wondering what you did with those 457 unread posts? :) Did you 'brutally' delete them?<br /><br />You know, I struggle with the same issue, especially in these summer months. Sometimes I feel unbalanced.<br /><br />Recently I unsubscribed from some blogs, with whom I have little or no interaction with. Though I love to read what they write, I just have no enough time for reading all the posts.<br /><br />Also, I don't want to read stuff ritualistically. <br /><br />Anyway, this post was an encouragement to me. I have always loved the interaction within the "inner circle" and honestly, like Aida, I too miss it to some extend.Bino M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303467552834533436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-89962307067939122332009-08-08T09:09:49.693-05:002009-08-08T09:09:49.693-05:00Aida... great words, and yes it truly does seem li...Aida... great words, and yes it truly does seem like perfect timing for me as well. Your words, "<i>my first love . . . blogging and all of my blogging friends</i>" really resonates with me. This is where so many of the relationships have been formed and lived out, so to speak, and this is where I'd like to focus a lot of my online time. With so many other things going on right now, I've found that even ignoring many of the blogs in my feed reader, and trying to focus just on the ones I've formed relationships with, it's been a hard thing to do. I'm in the process of processing all the unnecessary processes that are going on in my life. :) I would rather own my time than my time own me.<br /><br />So anyway, while I'm out on the road today (I'm just home on a quick break), I'll be praying about this for myself and everyone else.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-92149218370563622452009-08-07T15:07:28.170-05:002009-08-07T15:07:28.170-05:00Thanks, Leonard.

You're very kind and you're very special to me. <br /><br />Since deciding to get back into blogging more seriously, I've realized how important you all are to me. We really are a family with Jesus as our big brother and I don't want to be separated from my family again.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-57633091098220450112009-08-07T14:39:42.881-05:002009-08-07T14:39:42.881-05:00Aida, I like the way the Christ looks as and throu...Aida, I like the way the Christ looks as and through you.

Yesterday, I did a post talking about how my involvement with Facebook had caused me to neglect blogging and my blogging friends. Then, today I look at Lydia's blog and she had written an awesome post sharing that she had noticed that some of us hadn't been as involved in the blogging community as we had been before and she missed us.<br /><br />It was perfect timing for me since I had already decided to dramatically curtail my Facebook involvement to devote more time to my first love . . . blogging and all of my blogging friends.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-52181057070402801782009-08-02T07:56:11.966-05:002009-08-02T07:56:11.966-05:00Those are sweet words..............
