We interrupt this blog for the following announcements from our unpaid sponsor.

August14

Edited to add a VERY important announcement: If you have sent an email to me (amybeth at starliteministries dot org) anytime between Sunday night at midnight and this morning at 8:30 a.m., your email has been lost due to a problem with our server.  They’re telling me that the emails can’t be recovered, so please send it again!

Ahem, if I may have your attention please.

It has recently come to my attention that the general population of blog readers do not care for reruns, especially if the announcement that said particular blog is a rerun is not found until the end of said post. This sentiment has been duly noted, most obviously when one of my Starlite leaders (cough, Becky, cough) sent me a text yesterday offering to rush off to the office to help with The Plumbing Flood.

That’s sweet, Becks, but you’re about seven months late on that offer.

Now, let me tell you my problem here: in approximately 24 hours, we begin what is fondly known as Volunteer Recruitment (also known as Pleasecomevolunteerwithuswe’llgiveyoucookies!). In 72 hours, my leadership team will be back and we’ll begin our marathon meetings (WHO IS EXCITED, GIRLS?!?!?) that lead into the new semester. And then there’s a whole lot of other stuff, too, but I don’t want to send myself into panic attack mode bore you.

And so, I’m left with the question of what to do with the bloggy over the next two or three weeks.

Do I put up reruns? No, ya’ll aren’t fans.

Do I go on a bloggy break altogether? No, I’ll lose my one fan (hi, Jenelle!).

Or do I just post occasionally instead of my usual faithful daily offering? We have a winner!

So, if you don’t see me around every single day for the next few weeks, you’ll know why. And if you do see me around (like literally here in Cleveland) would you mind to give me a little hug and tell me that everything will come together in time and that it’s worth it?

I may even let you carry a few vats of processed nacho cheese.

    You won’t lose any fans! Weeeee … we will be here.

    Take as much time (or as many days) as you need. That PNC isn’t going to move itself. We understand that.

    and I did think the office flooded a second time and started freaking out a little bit. I was also thinking “dang, isn’t it early to start programs already?”

    Just because you’re on my daily blog list doesn’t mean that I have to read something new every day.

    OK, it’helps. But I understand. : )

    It’s all good. Do what you need to do. The blog isn’t going anywhere.

    Unless there is a server issue….

    AB, we don’t just love you for posting every day (although we do love that). We love your heart and how you put your girls first and mentor them and provide amazing programs for them and open your home (and heart) to Roomie and Baby and live your life as an example of godliness and…

    the list goes on.

    We’ll wait. And we’ll pray. And we’ll send virtual hugs.

    {{{{{hugs}}}}}

    See there?

    Have Roomie post blog entries! I know I would love to hear from her if she is ready to share her story.

    Go ahead, take a break. I’ll miss you but you have greater priorities right now.
