I think that I like Bravenet a little more than Blogger.
I am working on figuring out a way to move my archives over if possible.
Anyway, here is the link to my new blog.
I hope you all like it.
Thanks God for options.

Do you feel the hint of majesty, the vague sense of holiness?

Do you hear the faint sound of the angelic chorus, the distant roar of rushing water?

Do you smell it?
Do you smell the forgotten scent of the incense, the underlying fragrance of holy fire?
It is coming.
Do you taste it?

That is so cool, Derek is really excited, I like to see him excited. Not that I'm not, I just like to see it in him.

I have nothing important to say. Yesterday was my birthday. I have decided not to have any more birthdays, I keep getting sucky "presents". Last year it was having my license taken away because of someone else's screw up, (which I still have not been able to afford to get back, anyone want to give me $500 so I can drive again?).

First the social worker visit. It went fine, when she heard more of the background story she seemed to believe that the complaint was bogus.

It is called Perfection and is on my site.
I have been married almost seven years and it is the first time I have written a poem "about" my husband. I suck.
Anyway, I hope you check it out, (as well as my other stuff), and let me know what you think. I like feedback.

I am tired, I have not been sleeping very well, I'm not sure why. I have to get ready to go to the gym right away.
I am not doing very well with the quitting smoking thing. Crap!
I think I might start looking for an outside the house job next school year. I wonder if my kids are ready for that? Arrgh! sometimes responsibility sucks.

What is happening? Just a quick note to update those who care.
I just got back from the gym. It was much better today, I did not push myself too hard this time. I still did everything I am supposed to do, I just took my time and rested when I needed to. Much better! I am sitting here now and feeling those funky little twitches in my leg muscles, I like that Artist Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08954167312862060336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233866.post-942522482003-05-13T00:40:00.000-07:002003-05-13T00:40:05.720-07:00Ok, Connie is browbeating me into writing even though I don't really feel like I have anything to say; so since I have to live with her here goes.
Ummm...Derek and I joined the gym last week. I had my first full blown workout today, the first couple were just getting set up with a trainer and stuff. Good Gosh! I am so out of shape!

Arrrgh! Months without it and then bang! it grabs you and you stupidly give in. NO MORE! I won't do it again! NO NO NO!!!
No, I am not going to tell you what it is, but for those who feel so disposed; feel free to pray for me. Pray that my love for God will beat my stupidity into submission.

I knew that I would be sporadic about writing here, I think I even warned you. So...
I am doing great! That is probably part of the reason I have not been writing. I am not mad about anything. I tend to write more when I am mad or upset. None of that going on here!

You think you know me and what I am about.
You act like you're my judge, my God.
You exclude me, persecute me, hurt me.
I know God loves me.
I know He loves you, so...
I will forgive you your trespasses as he forgives mine;
and keep on worshipping with all my heart.
That has been floating around in my head since Wednesday. Thank God it is out.

I sure said "I guess..." a lot in that last post. Sorry about that, I GUESS it is because it is just about one in the morning and I am tired.

Today was good/weird/cool/tiring. Breathe was this morning, it was great. Beth talked about Mary Magdelene and made my day. Mary Magdalene is one of my biblical heroes, and one of the things that has always annoyed me is that everyone assumes things about her that are not true.
1) She was a prostitute.
The bible never says anything at all about her being a prostitute.Artist Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08954167312862060336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233866.post-920773592003-04-05T22:44:00.000-08:002003-04-05T22:44:11.060-08:00Have you ever had that feeling where you are totally naseous but you don't actually throw up? Yeah...I am sitting here debating wether I should go stick my finger down my throat just to get rid of this feeling. Now how is that for a pleasant way to start?
It has been a somewhat weird couple of days, I kind of feel like I am in a time warp for some reason.

I was in a good mood most of the day and had a nap in the afternoon. Had Breathe (women's group) this morning and it was good. We are in the middle of a section on women of the bible and today the woman was Ruth. It was very good. What an amazing woman she was; gave up everything for the love of Naomi and God.

I have decided to jump on the Blogger bandwagon, are you excited? Part of the reason I am is because people have been telling me for years that I should journal and I keep putting it off. So...I am going to try doing it online, maybe I will be more consistent then. We shall see.
Anyway, I hope that whoever stumbles across this enjoys whatever random thoughts I might choose to spew Artist Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08954167312862060336noreply@blogger.com0
