HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THE BLOG
But I've had noting to say. Nothing exciting has happened. My sister "tagged" me with some questions so I'll be answering those maybe Wednesday. She called it "meme."

BLOGGING OBSERVATIONS
Blogging can be unending, a cyber black hole. I can drop in on one favorite and before I know I'm hooked on their favorite and their favorites favorite and so on and so on. Example: I visited Abbasgirl today and one of her favorites is "Middle-years." I was drawn to that particular one because of the middle-year title. I'm in my middle years or autumn years can't decide which. Being 58 years old, 60 years doesn't seem so old anymore as when I was in my 20s. Anyway, Middle-years has a favorite called "Laced With Grace." I was drawn to that blog because I love God's grace, I need God's grace desperately. Went to Laced with Grace and her site has others to blog onto and so on and so on. Like I said at an earlier post this can be full time blogging. :)
Since starting "No other God" God has been bringing to my conscienousness many of the idols that are in my life. Could blogging become an idol for me? Just wondering. I think I'm here alot because it's new for me. There are so many sisters in Christ out there that I don't feel alone in some of the struggles I go through. We can pray for one another. Having prayer from sisters I don't know brings a bond that only Christ can make. Knowing Christ together is really all we need. Christ binds us. Blogging is a good thing, I'll just have to watch myself. Thank you Lord for bringing this to my attention. May my being with you and your Word be much more rewarding than blogging. Thank you Lord for the sweet women I've encountered through this. Bless my blogging sisters, their families, their churches. Keep me on guard with myself and my motives Lord. Amen.

ANOTHER FAVORITE
I've added Abbasgirl to my list. She was the first to welcome me to blogland. She also is a Beth Moore Siesta. We have a lot in common. We both love Jesus! ;)
IT IS SOOOOO HOT TODAY
Yes, it's a hot one today. I don't do heat well. I don't like to sweat and then I fell like I'm starting to wilt. The A/C is on in the bedroom so that's at least one room at a cooler temperature. The rest of the house is HOT. My house is wood so I think that keeps the heat in. But I really can't complain about the heat because I know in the east the temperature and humidity are unbearable. I don't think I'd survive Florida kinda heat. Why am I posting about the heat? It must be getting to my heat, head!
Just glanced at the blog dashboard and it says 'scheduled outage at 3 PM.' What's that mean? Due to too much electricity being used? There's a 'learn more' line i can click. I'll go learn more. Bye.

FAVORITE BLOGS & WEBSITES
Why I like the following:
ALL POSTERS: I love art and this website has great art that one can purchase inexpensively as a poster, laminated, on a frame etc. My favorite picture on this site is "Bench" by Edward Noott. I fell in love with this picture as soon as I saw it. The girl reminds me of me when I was younger. ONe could always find me with my nose in a book. I love gardens and to be in the fragrant quiet of a garden reading a book with my flip flops on is this side of heaven. I have yet to make a purchase.
AMANDA & JACKSON JONES: Amanda is the daughter of Beth Moore and Jackson is Beth's grandson. Amanda is married to Curtis Jones and just moved to Houston not too long ago. She's been married seven years and is a role-model for young women today. She's a great wife and mother. We've never met.
BETH MOORE BLOG: If you are reading this blog you probably know Beth Moore so I won't repeat again that she is a great Bible teacher. You already know that plus more.
CHRISTIAN BOOK DISTRIBUTORS: Great deals on Christian books, especially Bibles!!
CNN News: Love daily news around the world.
GATHERING OF FRIENDS: Miss Paula is my Wednesday night Bible study leader. She is so creative in many things. One of the perks in attending her class (besides studying God's Word) is that she'll make cute bookmarks, name tags, class calendars for us and laminate them and I can use it forever. I still have all my name tag bookmarks. So far I've done The Patriarchs, Living Beyond Yourself and A Woman's Heart with Paula. I started Loving Well but really didn't finish. I think we're doing Believing God in the fall. I'm in!
JOHN PIPER SERMONS: John Piper is a pastor of truth and sound doctrine of God's Word. He can sometime be a little above my head but that's the challenge. He doesn't give the milk of the Word but the steak and potatoes. His website is packed with great topics for today's culture. He does not compromise God's Word. Plus his books are reasonably priced.
MY SISTER LISA: Lisa is my baby sister. We are 14 years apart. I admire her so much. She is an intelligent woman, a great mother and wife, organized. She did things that I could only dream of. She graduated from college, studied in Spain, had a good job, got married to Steve has three children and now has the best job ever, which her college degree did not prepare her for: being a stay at home mom. But she is doing so well with her household. She has great patience with her kids Kathryn, Ryan and Emily. I'm proud of my baby sister.
ONE PLACE: So many pastors and teacher of the Word to select from. Every style and church denomination, plus Christian radio.
REVIVE OUR HEARTS: Another great Bible teacher with no compromise of the Word. Nancy Leigh DeMoss tells it like it is. Her topics are applicable for today. This week's study has been on Esther. Last study was on Rahab. I've bought some of her CD's and listen to her often. She's also on itoons.
SGT. & MRS. HUBS: I found this site through Beth Moore's blog. The picture (avatar ?) on her blog caught my attention. Her husband kissing her cheek and she's making a squimish face. She is a great photographer and writer. Her children are precious and this is just a good blog. Plus she posts often which keeps me going back.
I do visit other blogs but these blogs are the ones I will visit almost everyday.

DECORATING THE BLOG
I'm going to play around with the blog and see if I can add somethings. I want to add my favorite blogs, the ones I visit daily, visit mornin, noon' and night. I'm always visiting Living Proof website. That one will be on the list for sure.
I don't know how some blogs can go on and on with interesting things and my mind is such a blank. No inspiration. I did finish reading The Memory Keepers Daughter today while at the doctors office. It was pretty good. I did leave it for a few days at a time so for me that was not on my A list, but it was good. The last A-list book I read was the Kite Runner. Couldn't put that one down. Read it in the morning, during break, at lunch, come home read it etc. Great book.
Frank my husband is going to be working for his brother tomorrow with my son Adam for some extra money. We can all use the extra money in California here with the gas prices so high. It's ridiculous. I ususally go the the Chevron but it's up to $4.59 right now. It can change by tomorow morning. I've been going to Exxon because it is 20 cents cheaper. I think I'll start shopping at the 99 cent store too. I hate cutting coupons but maybe I'll give that a try when gas gets to $5, 6 a gallon
Well back to blogging. Gee, I did have something to say. :)

BIBLE STUDY IS SO IRRISISTABLE
Just when I made the decision not to do Beth's blog study "No Other God's" I went and bought the workbook today and signed up on her blog. The excitement that surrounds her blog today is contagious. I just love that so many of my sisters in Christ across the nation and out of the US are so into indepth study of God's Word.
I've been doing Breaking Free with two gals from church on Friday's and on Tuesday I lead a small group doing Genesis. Call me crazy but I think I might be able to squeeze in just one more study. I also opted to have an email partner. I don't know how that's going to be arranged but it will be nice to partner with another siesta who loves being in the Word. I've started to pray that God teams me up with someone especially chosen by Him.
The Lakers finally beat the Celtics tonight. They must win three more!
