Finish the Sentence Friday
Next week’s sentence is, in honor of the BlogHer 2013 conference: “The best and worst parts of blogging are….”
This week's sentence is in Church(Place of Worship) I learned to...........
The church I attended as a young child.
Kissing, Hand holding, Getting Pinched, and A Reverence for the House of God
I thought about doing this from a funny view, but I was always taught church was serious when I was growing up. I had to go every Sunday morning and evening and I had to go on Wednesday night. My mom took my sister, brothers, and I. My dad seldom went.
There were lots of great people in the church. They really were caring and friendly. My mom took us to a small church and people were really close. They always talked about the church family.
I learned to have reverence to God. I learned to be careful about what I said. Words hurt people. I learned to act like a lady.
My mother sang in church. I learned that I did not have a singing voice. I could memorize long parts better than anyone else in the children's group. They decided that I should sing the parts one time. They put it to music and tried to teach me to sing it. Well, they all learned that was a big mistake. I could not sing. I could practice for weeks, but I could not sing. I knew all the words, I just couldn't do anything with the music. They decided it would work much better for me to just speak the words. Thank goodness!!!
Okay, now you get the the irreverent parts. I learned that if you talked in church you would get stern looks from your mother. And I learned that if that didn't work, my mom would pinch me on the back of the arm and it hurt!!
When I became a teenager, I had a boyfriend at church. I learned to hold hands with a boy. I learned about jealousy from other girls.
At one of the church youth group activities, I learned to kiss a boy. He decided that I needed to learn to french kiss. I was very naive. At the time, I though it was terribly disgusting.
I spent much of my growing up years in church or at church activities. We spent our free time with people from the church. I guess it only makes sense that I learned many things at church.
This Week’s Theme Is Seasonal Blogging
When it comes to blogging, have you ever noticed an ebb and flow to how frequently you blog – or to the number of visitors who stop by your blog?
That’s what this week’s questions are all about!
- Do the seasons tend to impact your blogging habits?
- Do you tend to blog steadfastly year round, or do you blog less at certain times?
- Are you blogging more, less or the same than usual this summer?
Please share your thoughts with us this Friendship Friday!
I have only blogged for close to six months. I haven't really had too much time to decided if there is a slow down. I have heard people talk about there being a huge drop of visitors this summer. I haven't really had that, I have had a slow increase as the months go by. I'm sure since my number of visitors is still pretty low that I can expect a gradual increase.
I have noticed that I have less time this summer to work on my blog. I probably don't read as many blogs as I did during the winter. I still try to get around to all of my consistent blogging friends. I have noticed that some of them aren't posting as often.
I am blogging about the same. If I hadn't just gotten started I may have cut down to 4-5 times a week. It has been a very busy summer.
How about you? Have your blogging habits changed this summer?
