I have truly appreciated and enjoyed your kindness and thoughtfulness in posting these threads for us each week. I always look forward to them.
I have not yet found exactly what happened, but surely those of us who look forward to and enjoy your thread each Sunday, .... way outnumber whomever it is who objects.
Either way, may you be blessed and may you know that we have very much appreciated and enjoyed the gift that you have made for us each week.
