Climbing Into God's Lap
You know what I love to do? Pray.Oh, I talk to God all the time, and when He puts someone into my mind out of the blue, I know they need a prayer right then and there, so I talk to God about them no matter what else I was doing. And I ask His opinion on things, and as I go through tasks He continually gets His hands right in there with mine to make things go smoothly. His presence is always apparent to me in a very real way.There are also times when I fall prostrate - spiritually if not physically - and let my broken heart bleed all over his nail-scarred hands. Always, He listens, lets me rant or sob or just cry out to Him for mercy or grace or healing. And I know th

Computers...Part II
First of all, Pete has his laptop back - YAY!Second, I'm full-time on the desktop now. And I can see where, for the last few years, I've lost some things on the laptop. For example, the colors are brighter and the graphics are sharper. And, of course, the sound is much better even though I'm using dinky little speakers.

Computers! Can't live with 'em...
We are admittedly rather geeky in our family. Personally, I have - or did have - the laptop that has been my Main Machine for 3½ years (Pete & I have had identical ones), plus the desktop that I use mainly with my Yamaha PSR-9000Pro keyboard, and of course "N8" (Nate), my Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and constant companion.So when the display on my laptop failed a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't overly worried since I still had 2 other computers. Still, after Pete messed around with the laptop and announced that it was fixed, I was elated! Most of my online time was spent, after all, during my down times in my recliner: while having my morning coffee/tea, while waiting for pain pil

In It, Not Of It
I've had this whole issue of being "in the world but not of the world" in my heart for quite some time now. I haven't arranged my thoughts in any cohesive pattern yet, and - as when we pray - they are mostly sensed rather than articulated in language. I just have things in my heart that I feel a need to write about...My heart hurts deeply for people around me, people that I love, that God loves and for whom His love overflows through me, who are going through painful and difficult times in their lives. I want to talk to them about hope, and about trust, and share the things that give me comfort: that since I gave my life to God, He has control of all circumstances and outcomes;
