Home Again 10:45 PM

I'm tired.
Wordstock III did a number on me, and as much as I miss EVERYONE (no, not EVERYONE), I'm just glad to be back.

I can still see the faces of my siblings when I walked through the back door. I know they missed me as much as I missed them. Monty and Sammy got a haircut, Danny has a potbelly, and Gabriel is slightly heavier. It seems Jeanne D'arc hasn't changed.

I'm tired. I feel slovenly and dirty, and washing the sticky lolipop liquid on my arm is out of the question, since it would also wash away "Kisses, Leila." I hope Leila appreciates the lack of hygiene my arm will receive in order to preserve her manuscript.

As some of you may have already guessed, no, I didn't keep a log. I'll just have to write about Wordstock and the trip there and back by calling on my memory banks. Expect some posts on the aforementioned topics sometime soon.

I'm tired.

Woodstock, Wordstock...Wordstock, Woodstock...How cleverly subtle. 6:27 PM

Ignore that, I just don't understand why the WOC didn't use my idea of calling it "Word-fun-music-food-fellowship-sizzling-hot-'thank-you-Jesus-for-them'-
girls-sports-convicting-and-challenging-classes-Stock". Speaking of the WOC, have you noticed that there's an OC conspiracy in all this? I mean, WordstOCk, EurOCk, wOC, rOCk, sOCks, etc...Wait, I'd better stop right there. The OCs will harm me for this exposure.

On a happier note (I am very excited, I'm smiling real big, I'm jumping on my bed and my hands are flailing...Oops, I need to pee), I must tell you all that I will be attending Wordstock 2006. HOORAY!

At the same time, I am reminded of the last two years when I did not attend Wordstock. Reading Broadband was like torture to me, it basically screamed "Look what you missed!" Oh, wait, it did say that, didn't it? I wrote down my thoughts here and there, and I understand what those of you who are unable to attend this year's Wordstock are going through. But let's take it with a positive attitude, guys (I should have), the Lord pulled me through (and gave me the opportunity to attend this year), and I know He'll do the same for you.

I'm having a real problem with the whole packing thing, though. I dislike packing, it gives me headaches, like the one I have now. And the weather down there isn't something I'm looking forward to either, but I have a plan, I'm going to travel down in a giant icebox.

I'll begin my journey to the land of hot weather and cowboys in four days, if you could please pray for all to go well and according to plan, and also for protection and provision, I'd be very much obliged. I'll try (emphasis on "try", this plan seems to always fall through) to keep a brief log of my journey and Wordstock. When I get back I'll try to post most of it, but don't expect any updates between May 6th-27th.

As a sidenote, I'll be activating the Comment Moderation function for this site, so all your comments will be saved for me to view and approve when I get online. This is to discourage any arguments or crude comments while I'm gone, so I won't come back to a site torn and cluttered with pointless spam. After I get back to regularly posting, this function will be deactivated.

So until then, my readers. Wish me well, and may God bless you.

Discipleship and Blogs 10:25 PM

I just finished reading "Shooting Straight, Part 18", and if you in the Family author a blog, I recommend that you read it as soon as possible. It's full of helpful and practical counsel, with convicting and challenging messages from the Lord.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the topic of Family blogs would be addressed in a GN, and I've been anticipating this counsel. Of course, after reading this GN, I can see that there are areas I need to improve in, new habits I need to form, and some bad habits I need to get rid of.

But like almost every aspect of your life, it just boils down to whether or not you're serious about being a disciple. If you're a disciple at heart, it will reflect in your actions and communications.

It's me, but in your Inbox! 10:22 PM

You can now subscribe by email to the capital C, using the handy dandy email subscription form in the sidebar, courtesy of Feedblitz. Heck, I even subscribed myself! (To test it. Mostly.)

Banner v.2 9:12 PM

Once again, I've changed the banner. I thought the previous one looked a little wimpy, it wasn't bold enough. Do I think this one looks bolder? Yes.

I've also changed something else. Try to figure out what it is...No, giving up so soon? Pitiful. Ok, what I changed is the little icon next to my URL in the address bar (you should see it if you're using Firefox, which you should). I got tired of the little "B" for Blogger, so I kicked it into the sayonara garbage bin and said hello to my new and sexy "C".

I'm lovin' these changes, if you don't like them, then go away.

Ahhh...WHEEEEEEEEEE!! 10:07 PM

In light of the recent release of Firefox 1.5.0.2, I give you a little something I found over at The Hollow Blah.

Firefox and Retarded Browsers


The retarded "e" sort of gets to you after the sixth or seventh time. "'Tis time to talk tech. Tee-tee!"
