I want to thank you so much for all the work you have put into the Come Follow Me. I love your blog and use it regularly. I was really sad this week when the link wasn’t there to get to the material you had prepared. Today I was checking to see if I’d be able to access next week and found a new way of finding the material and realized that this week actually was there. I wonder if others may be going to the same page I was and think you aren’t doing it there because the link aren’t there.
Oh I’m so sorry!! What was the page you were going to? Can you put the link here? We changed things around a bit when we did the redesign of the blog. I thought I had all the forwards set up, but maybe I missed one!
