Writer's block...

I think I have it.

We had bible study last night at my house. Honestly, I think it went poorly. I think that I came across too personal in sharing what was on my heart. I’m afraid that anyone listening might think I was in attack mode, but I wasn’t.

There is high probability that I should not be so transparent with so many people.

I don’t know where to really go on that topic from here.

Before we started last night, we ran through celebrity gossip and Anna Nicole Smith’s death. I think she’s going to be like Elvis. People are going to see her for years. I don’t care what anybody says, and I don’t want to see her body or her funeral. As if she wasn’t a larger-than-life legend already, then this definitely puts her over the top.

My brother called to tell me that one their auditors wanted to leave early to mourn. I laughed out loud. I do feel terrible for her family, especially for her young daughter. Celebrity or not, I realize that she is a real person. I wonder if anybody ever REALLY tried to tell her about Jesus?

Monday, I ordered a bunch of stuff off of Amazon. I am totally addicted to Amazon. Because of my student loans, I have poor credit. If I had good credit, I would get an Amazon credit card. :) I ordered four John Ortberg books (hey… if something works… go with it!), and a cd of Starfield. Two of the four books are Ortberg studies – one on Grace, and the other on Life. I’m excited to delve into them.

I totally balked on Thursday Thirteen. I completely forgot. And in all my blog-readings, I’ve come across Works for me Wednesdays and Menu Plan Mondays. These women blow my mind. I have to say that I completely underestimated the network of incredible intelligent, Godly women who are part of these blog networks. I shared some of BooMama’s stories with my roommate the other day. I’ve also added a new link on the right – Seasoned with Salt. The lovely blogger encouraged my heart about letting writing. This was one of my goals for 2007. I’m slipping on quite a few of them, but writing letters is keeping steady. And I’m sending out more. I got a few of the gift packages together last night, and will try to start sending those soon. If you’d like one – drop me your address. My friend Jenn recently send me her 2006 Mix CD, and I have been playing that thing everyday. It gives a lot of insight when you see what people are willing to put together. And she had a lovely descriptive booklet with it too. Uber-personal. Just plain RAWKS!
