Comments

I love comments.

I love to make comments and I love to receive comments.

Chances are if you have a blog, I have commented on it.

If not, let me know and I will be glad to comment.

Kevin once called me "the best blog commenter ever".

I wear that title proudly...by the way Kevin, I commented on your blog that I went CAMPING OUTSIDE and didn't hear anything from you...are you ok?

The reason that I love comments so much is that it gives us a chance to share our hearts with each other. Even if we don't neccessarily agree or know each other that well...we can share.

We can also change the not knowing each other so well part by commenting.

Example, I have never really had a conversation with Mindi Greene, our newest blogger, but now that she is blogging and we are commenting, I feel like I know her better.

I love that it gives us a chance to say hi, I think your neat... or I miss you and I love you.

"Words of affirmation" is after all my love language...it is Michael's also.

Alex is touch...that is a whole other subject!!!

So many times we read other peoples blogs and like what they say and never comment. I have had people tell me "I read your blog", but I had no idea because you didn't comment!!

I say no more!!

I say if you read someone's blog, let them know. Just a simple "hi, I like your blog" will do.

You never know if that comment might be just what that person needs right at that moment.

Happy commenting!!

You forgot that I did, after all, call you the Queen of Comments!

I love you and your words. Hate to see that zero next to comments, girl!

YES! You ARE the best commenter ever. I think it's part of your gift...encouragement.

I too love how we can get to know each other through blogs. I think I've finally figured out all the names of Mindi's kids because of her blog!

This post should get the most comments ever! I just read a blog with over 100 comments.

You voiceless readers, get after it.

So, you're the best blog commenter ever, huh?

That's good to know! (Just in case I ever have a blog with a 0 next to it and then you can comment on it so it won't be so lonely. ;P)

Thanks for enjoying Zeke. He definitely looks forward to Cubbies every week!! Have a great weekend - see you Sunday.

This is the first time I've ever been to your blog (I'm not gonna lie to ya). I came over because I felt bad that you'd read mine (thanks) and I'd never read yours. Now we're even, and now you have a new subscriber.

... but I can't promise I'll be providing a lot of comments...

A big fat 'ZERO' comments stink!

I totally agree! You are the best commenter around these parts.

But, I'm more thankful for your sweet spirit and gift of encouragement!

Thanks Sweet Kathryn.

WOW 10 comments already! That's a stinkin good post right there! Kathryn...I love that I can always count on you to comment. I have never had a sad lonely post of 0 comments because you are always there. I like that I can count on you. You make my heart happy, and i never have to fear as I write a post if no one will read it, because I know I have my faithful Kathryn who will always come through! Thank you for your constant encouragement. I love you!

I read your blog as well. I'm working on my commenting skills. I guess sometimes I just get comment shy. Anyway, I really enjoyed officially meeting you and talking with you on Friday night. We really should do it again. I think you are a really amazing woman.

Happy Commenting!

I read it as often as I can, so I guess I should start posting more myself.

You are the best commenter! Being far away it is so nice to hear your encouragement though your comments. Even just a hi can bring a smile. I hope you guys are doing well. It was sooo good to see you when we came down. We miss ya'll!

Hi Kathryn,
I know I am a little late on this, and I have been reading your blog and no commenting, so I apologize.
I did just start a blog of my own, and was wanting to see if it was ok to link to your blog off it.
Comment to you later,

Jimmy
