an assortment of 5 unrelated thoughts.
1. So. . . I've started a blog. Yes, Lucia, a *different* blog! (Thank you so much Lucia for being the one person in the world who actually read and commented on my attempts at food-blogging.) The food blog just wasn't working out.
So, I have a new one.
I think I'm going to start out by only giving the address to a few limited people. . .just enough to keep me accountable for writing frequent posts, but not so much that everyone in the world can read my thoughts. . . yet.
I'd like to write a combination of 'normal blog posts' as well as some fictional snippets. Hopefully the switching from fiction to non-fiction will not be too weird. We'll see how it goes.
Anyway, so since this is what I've done today with my afternoon, I'm going to share with you guys in the interest of feeling semi-productive.
Here is the address: http://www.thisbeautifuldeath.com .
2. In other news, there's not much new going on with us. We are actually going to see Carolyn&Mike, and Thomas and Charlotte this evening! (Carolyn and Mike are apparently briefly in Greensboro, visiting). So, I should go get ready for that and go stop at the store and get some fun contribution to bring.
3. is this blog too cumbersome? Should we just go back to email? The main thing is that I love hearing all your thoughts, so whatever is the easiest way to make that happen, let's do it!
4. Teared up during 'How Great Thou Art' this morning. The lyrics are a reminder both of His great sacrifice as well as our final hope which is not of this world.
'And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. . .
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" '
5. Love you all. Look forward to seeing you sometime between Dec 24 and Jan 1. I need to talk to Pete about exactly when we plan to travel.

Rebecca, you are the blog woman!! I did read your food blog. It's just that posting is sometimes complicated. But maybe we will all be consistent if we do this regularly. I think I need to subscribe by email as well, so that I know that someone's posted.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun that you are going to see Carolyn and Mike and Thomas and Charlotte!! I told Dave that that is what I envision in going away for these conference retreats. I need to be proactive about setting up dinners with college/high school friends in the area because part of the fun of being a twosome is galavanting off to these stimulating dinners. So, I hope yours is super fun!
Love the old hymns, although I find that our church re-sings the same old old hymns and I'd like to branch out. 'How Great Thou Art' is always a good reminder that God is big and awesome and worthy of worship. And I love how so often the old hymns relate elaborate acts of worship and adoration, that even these people who seemed to live so much more circumspectly and reservedly were lavish as they described "bowing" and "throwing down their golden crowns."
Praying you all have blessed, God-filled weeks!
I don't think the blog is too complicated, I like it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm probably the most clueless here. I'd like to subscribe and get e-mail notifications when someone writes something, but I don't know how to do it. I created some kind Google entity in order to post comments, using Jerry's google account, I think, and I'm not even sure I remember how to do that. So it might take me a while to figure this out. But I do think the blog is a better method than e-mail where the strings get all tangled up.
ReplyDelete"threads," that is, not "strings." :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't actually figure out how to post something. Any help would be appreciated. Does it know that I'm allowed to post? And it's mildly irritating to have to prove that I'm not a robot every time I comment.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Lu, so I went in and tried to change the way comments are posted to allow "anyone" to post with no verfication of the letters thing, which I found annoying mainly because they are printed so illegibly on my screen that I can't tell what the letters are supposed to be. Let me see if it works.--Rachel
ReplyDeleteHooray! Considering my dislike of all things technical, I am superbly impressed with myself because it worked. You can select only allowing members of the blog to comment, but I'm didn't find where the members were listed, so I didn't want to leave anyone out. --Rachel
