I have literally lost 5/6 months of this year. BUT we are now settled in a home with a phone and internet. I'm also going to begin praying that we NEVER have another pcs like this one...and since we probably have one more move left before retirement chances are good this is the PCS that stories will be told about. ::snort:: Blogging - I WAS in a terrible rut until I stopped and prayed about the purpose of my blog. I was trying to be profound...and would still like to have more profound things to say....but family reminded me the blog was a family journal...we invited others to share but never went out to find readers...KWIM? I didn't start a blog to share my opinions, convince people to my views etc....I started it because our grown children, and friends from other assignments, wished to keep up with our daily lives. SO....now blogging can be as easy as a list of what we've done in a day if I'm busy. The pressure is off...when I AM profound folks are pleasantly surprised....::snort:: Seriously, many have shared that simply watching us live out our chosen life style day after day has been encouraging and "profound" in their lives...I don't understand it...but I try to simply think "family journal".... Remember, that many use readers these days. A few years ago the "bloggy wisdom" was change things frequently, post daily to keep readership and interest up...but now folks don't have to go to your URL to see if you've posted...if they are interested in your blog, they'll put it in their reader and whenever you post they'll do. I have mixed feelings on this....I love the ease of knowing when "my blogs" post without going to them each day...but I think you do lose some of the fun and relaxation of leisurly visiting your favorites...seeing the new "looks" because often I don't click in after reading unless I want to comment...and often I don't have time to click in and comment.... Hmmm....wordy this a.m. ::snort:: BTW, yes we ARE loving your friends in Misawa. What a joy to have a team who loves the Lord. .-= De'Etta´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/TiEh/~3/eRsZgZ3pigo/make-our-heart-your-temple.html" rel="nofollow">Make Our Heart Your Temple</a> =-.

The rut I get into is having something interesting/ edifying to say. 2. To overcome this I am aiming to blog less, pray more, use more wisdom , not feel the need to blog about every little trivial thing. 3. I spend about an hour per week actually typing up blog posts, adding photos and links. My main time wastage is in that I love to read everyone else's blogs. I can get caught up in this way too long. Thankfully, there is so much else to do, people are so much more important. This keeps me in check. I don't blog on the Lord's Day. 4. I love November because I have two darlings born in this month! One will be 19 and one 12! Kristine, you shouldn't worry about posting too often. Like me, most people will have you in their reader. It is exciting when a new post comes up! Your season of life is such a full one, it is far more important to be "doing" it all than just writing about it, don't you think? Still, curious and looking forward to reading the "controversial" ideas swirling around in your head. .-= Ruby´s last blog ..<a href="http://mummasplace.blogspot.com/2009/11/glory-in-lord.html" rel="nofollow">Glory in the Lord!</a> =-. 1.
