Unfortunately blogger decided to change all the spacing of this prayer, tthis is not the way I created it. I hope it still speaks to you in this weird format.
ReplyDeleteTerri, it looks fine to me, just like the one at Prayer Pals.
ReplyDeleteMartha, I fixed it. Blogger has been doing this lately, whenever I create something in a word doc and then cut and paste it into a blog post blogger reformats it with extra spaces...I don't know why. And, it doesn't always happen. And sometimes it looks like it has happened in the "Compose" mode but when I publish its fine. I have yet to figure out a key to understand this inconsistency, I'm sure it must be something random that is being perceived in the translation from word to blogger....sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do not need: the email I just got complaining about todays service in a most unhelpful way.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do need: this prayer.
Thank you.
