home, james!

i'm baaaaack!

so i was without internet for a week. i just back-posted three entries i made into notepad and saved for such a time as this - my internet is baaack, my internet is baaack! whee! unlike some folks i know, i'm not going to bug my isp for a refund for this week offline - too stressful. i'm just glad it's back.

so.... let's see, what's new? well, the sound conference was awesome, i'm looking forward to helping out with the soundboard. now i know what phantom power and feedback and the snake and most of those little knobs on a soundboard do, i'm so educated now, lol. unlike a brave friend i have who did soundboard all on her own today for the first time, i'm not gutsy enough to try it on my own right away, lol!

worship celebration saturday night was awesome. ever worship and dance and flag until you feel you're going to pass out and/or throw up? that's what i did. it was loads of fun.... who needs to get drunk? come, pass out and/or throw up at church with me next sunday~!

um.... i love the sound of the studs on my winter tires, yum. like water trickling. soothing.

today i hung out in wally world with tanya for a couple hours. looked at everything under the sun, all the goodies we drool over but don't need, like beautiful bamboo placemats or tabletop dishwashers, balls of yarn (when you already have quite a few) and bolts of fabric (ditto the above), funky tee-shirts and georgeous blouses (none of which are cotton, but hey, they are still beautiful, and if i can fantasize they are made out of natural fibres, it still get's the drool flowing). i am, however, going back asap (always say a prayer) to get three pairs of 'yoga pants' i think they're called. like tights/leggings, but flare at the calves/ankles. so i'm really going to be wearing pants under my skirts, lol - not just leggings i can pretend are super thick hosiery. sigh. if only my steel-toed gumboots actually still fit me (they're too small) - they would go great with yoga pants and a skirt!

saturday night had a migraine aura, zigzags and squiggles, colors and flashing. it went away after about 15 minutes, no head pain until today, but it's mild if it's a migraine. tho i did take two advil AFTER taking two tylenol two hours earlier, as it hadn't helped. after that i eventually felt better.... until this evening when i hurt again. but geewhiz, i don't even know if i have the energy to get off my duff and go to the bathroom and get into bed, never mind adding a search for some tylenol with a sedated pair of eyes. if i don't fall over on my way to bed, i'm ahead of the game, lol!

k i must needs to go, as i'm starting to see double. will try to write more upperdaters tom or row. love ya's, ciao!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
