Living the Life

Okay, I don't care if I never publish a single thing; this moment in time is sufficient to make me feel like a writer! That's because I'm sitting here at Panera with Lizzie, actually writing! This is what I picture some of my favorite authors, like Robin Lee Hatcher and Lisa Samson doing. Only they would probably not be doing it on a Sunday morning . . . but I'm headed to service shortly. This is awesome though; I'm loving it. I can quickly look up references thanks to Panera's free wireless access, and the words are coming. Woo-hoo!

Awesome Verses for the Day

Proverbs 23:17-18 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Make that verses for life, perhaps. Seriously, if we don't have hope in Christ, what do we have?

Meet Lizzie

Who's Lizzie? My new laptop! After lingering at the front window for the better part of two hours today, the Fedex guy finally arrived. So far, it's everything I hoped for. Only my hands are a bit tired tonight from playing on it all day so this post will be short.

When my gram was little, she was called Lizzie until an older gentleman encouraged her to go by Betty or Bessie, for some reason she never really understood. I think she suspected later on that Lizzie sounded like a not-so-nice woman of the day. I think my gram was always Lizzie though, somewhere deep inside. Lizzie was that part of her that most people never really knew.

So while I'm not actually naming an inanimate object after my dear gram, I like to think it represents a part of me that no one knows . . . yet!
