Sorry for the silence here. Life has taken precedence over blogging of late. I have much to write about, but just not a lot of time to do it. Consequently I have several posts in various draft stages but nothing that's ready for primetime.
     Soon, I hope. Very soon.
     Life is good right now; hard but good. I'm learning a lot, growing a lot, being challenged like crazy, and having some success in areas that have up till now seen only defeat. Lessons are still being learned the hard way at times, but less than before. I'm now seeing that hole I always fall into before I step in it — and sometimes even remembering to walk around it, instead of into it. Soon, I think, I might even be ready to take a different street…
     One step at a time.
     Since I can't seem to finish a substantial post, I'll share some bullets of my life at the moment.

Current verses on my mind:

God didn't go to all the
trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling
the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right
again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted… — John 3:17-18 in The Message

Curent movie I L-O-V-E lovedand must see again: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
   My sister said recently that when she was first reading the Narnia books, she saw me as Lucy — or Lucy as me… Either way you put it, it was a HUGE compliment to me. I would love to be Lucy; to  emulate her unwavering faith and trust in Aslan.

Current song stuck in my head: "You're Gonna Miss This" – Trace Atkins

Current podcast I'm replaying over and over: Andy Stanley's "Faith, Hope, and Luck
Holy crap, this series is kicking my butt, and reshaping my paradigm of faith and hope

Current book reshaping my paradigm: The Shack by William P. Young
   Ditto the above — but this one is reshaping my view of God; more on this soon

Coming Movie I'm dying to see this summer: WALL-E

….more to come…
