Bet you all thought I had given up on this blogging thing, didn't you? You can't get rid of me that easily. I haven't logged on to revelife in about two weeks, mainly just because I haven't been in much of a blogging mood. Or a commenting mood, apparently. I'll work on getting around to leaving some comments. No, really. You watch, I'll do it.
Thanks for your concern and prayers for my stepmom and for my family in general. She has had her ups and downs over the last couple weeks, but is currently feeling a little better. She's scheduled for surgery on Monday, and will have a rough road to recovery after that, but she's a fighter, and she has a lot of prayers in her corner. I'm grateful for all of them, and that definitely includes those of any and all who are reading this
I had a great conversation with my dear friend
Shana tonight (er, I guess that would be last night, since its now in the early A.M. hours here in the Eastern Time Zone), which - as our conversations often do - went all over the map. Somehow, the subject made its way to how we, as Christians and as friends, try to give encouragement to one another, but also are there to maybe give a gentle reminder one to another when the other isn't walking the walk, so to speak. This initially came about, if my memory serves me correctly (and man, that's a crapshoot), when she kindly pointed out something that I was known to do that was not quite right, and then almost apologetically said that she didn't want to be seen as some kind of prude, just going around pointing out the wrongs in others' lives. But I was thankful for the words of wisdom, and don't consider it prudish at all to be called on the carpet when I need to be. It's one of God's great blessings, I believe, and a reminder of how much He cares for us, when He places people in our lives who will help us in our walk with God by letting us know when we've taken some wayward steps. I used David and Nathan as an illustration when talking to her, but there are many. If she has to be my Nathan sometimes, that just shows me how much God cares for me to not give up on me, and how blessed I am to have such a friend in my life.
One last note in this trainwreck of disconnected thoughts. Does the xangazon search never work for anyone else either, or is it just me? I bet it's a dialup thing. Oh, well. I'm watching the ZZ Top: Live From Texas dvd, if any of you care.

Good to have you back. The xangazon thing worked okay for me the last (and only) time I used it (few days ago).
