I finally decided to use June 2022's entries for my responses to other bloggers' entries. I tend to do this daily anyways and post in my weekly 'catch-all' blog (added to every day} "Porthole" .
Well, if I have bruised you, I sincerely apologize. It definitely wouldn't have been on purpose. It does hurt me when all Christians are described as being intolerant and hateful.
