To all you folks who count the offering...

This morning I was thirsty.

So I reached into my wallet to get a dollar.



And I see a website on my dollar. So, I enter the serial number and it tells me where my dollar started, how long it's been traveling, and how many miles it's traveled. Oh, and it tells me one funny tidbit too...


(The user's note for Maynardsville, TN says "sunday school offering for a missionary. it is in pretty good condition, wrinkled, but not too worn."

Clearly, whoever counted the offering after it was taken didn't go rush back into the sanctuary to hear the sermon. I'm guessing the sermon was about how every dollar counts? Thankfully God uses wrinkled money, not just the crisp bills. LOL!

Soliciting Prayers

I have to go to the Dr tomorrow because of something I "found".

Would appreciate your prayers.

Much Love!
Jenn

Get on your knees.

for our economy.

for those in power who are voting for/against economic issues.

for our country.

for us.

Now.

if you haven't been doing so, do so.

NOW.

Just breath. But don't do so loudly.

I've had a headache today that makes me want to chop my head off.

Dogs + Whatever the heck is going on with the out of doors = Jenn can't hang out with friends for two weeks.

:(

Dear Jesus, can we work something out where my children do not inherit my allergies? To Everything? Please, please??? Love, Jenn

Eye Candy

(And I don't mean the one on the right, either!)

Blogger Etiquette

I got an email about this (both things I'm doing and things I'm not doing) and thought I'd share a couple of tips!

  • If you are a blogger... at least try to figure out your audience. I'm not a mommy, wife, or in ministry (the three main blog types I read), so I decided that if I'm a little chaotic with my blogs -- meaning they are more in line with who I am -- then it's okay!
  • If you read... try to comment!! It 1) encourages the blogger, 2) engages conversation, and 3) is courteous!
  • Share links. Put people up on your sidebar. If your friend Bob is having a giveaway or something... tell your friends. And tell them to tell Bob who sent you. And P.S. -- if someone links you, it's courteous to link them back!
  • Get yourself into some kind of blogreader! I use bloglines, but there are great blogreaders that basically concise all the blogs you're interested into into one page!

These are just a few things you can do! Lord knows I struggle with the first one sometimes -- b/c nobody likes to be that girl that comments too much, but I have to keep reminding myself that, if you didn't want people to read it (in some facete or another), then you wouldn't put it on the internet.

So to recap:

Recognize your Peeps! Comment! Share! Get Organized!

At dinner the other night, I shared with my friends (who often make fun of my blogging) that the truth is that I'm just ahead of the game. That I'm really just one of the cool kids, and they just don't recognize it yet. LOL!!

Hello! Welcome! Yes, Polka Dots excite me too!

It's a little conceited I know, but I was long overdue for a change here, and after searching blog after blog for cool designers that didn't cost a fortune, I finally found one! I like the basic features, but thought it was a little dark! Not only did Shauna redo DC.com, she also gave another site I put together a really fancshy-shmancshy facelift! If you're looking for somebody that is priced reasonably and has a broad portfolio... check out Shauna!

My friend H emailed me yesterday to tell me she'd won tickets to see Altar Boyz (Atlanta) and ask if I wanted to go! This will be my third time to see this show (2nd time in ATL), and dang it... I'm getting on stage this time! It's time for my off-Broadway debut! If you want to see a show that is reasonably priced and really funny with a good overall message... check it out!

Fall weather is here, and I cannot be anymore excited!!!!!!
