Long Time No Blog

WWWSo it's been a little while since I've posted a blog. It's not that I haven't wanted to-- each time I logged onto my computer I'd see my blog, calling to me, beaconing, "Post, post, post..." But alas, I had to deny my feelings of longing, for I wanted to leave my prior blog up long enough for people to read it. I have no idea if anyone ever did.

WWWWhy blog if no one reads it? It's a nice release, true. But... Really. There's not much point if no one reads it. Shall I simply entertain illusions of grandeur-- (drifts on in a daydream...) My blog is the most popular site on the web! "Did you see what was on D's blog today? Oh my, was it profound!" Yes, yes... (lights dim and cameras pan out from the crowd of fans to reveal an ordinary person sitting alone in their dining room).

WWWNo, but really. Life is going great. I have started working out! It's been almost a month, and already I've had to start wearing my belt a notch tighter. It's the last notch on my belt, so it looks like pretty soon I'll have to be getting a new one! I've also been blessed to have some great fellowship while working out. It's funny. I have to admit, I can't take credit to taking the initiative to start working out. Hey, I've had a veritable gym at my house (across the yard in my landlord's house anyway) for a year now, and I haven't taken any initiative to get in shape. No, all the credit goes to Alma.
WWW"Let's go to my time share," she says. Then when she comes to pick me up, turns out she's decided we're going to be workout partners! That was just what I needed to get started. Don't ask. Just come pick me up and tell me to get some workout clothes. It feels good to be getting in shape though. I've never been in shape-- I wonder what I'll look like?

WWWLife has also been good on the spiritual front. The Lord has really been showing me a lot, and growing me and teaching me. Also, I have decided to practice guitar and get good at it, and have been playing quite a bit (when the schedule allows, anyway). A couple nights in a row my fingers looked like they had blisters on them they were so white (callouses!). They're starting to peel though so I need to get back to practicing. I've been too busy this past week.
WWWEaster was good. After Easter service at my church I went to a picnic with Alma and her church. It was funny because I happened to know a lot of people at her church from playing worship there once a month for about 5 months. It was the first time I was a guest and knew everyone! That made it more fun though, because I got to see lots of familiar faces.

Well, it's off to practicing guitar (and ironing clothes for work and doing dishes... blah). Much love, D
