I'm not complaining, because, yes, you are right, it could be a lot worse. No, my husband chose to start listening to Rage Against The Machine....only in his car when he's on the road and not in the house. I would prefer country music, thank you!Karmyn Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476299332362683029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155477555318247402006-08-13T08:59:00.000-05:002006-08-13T08:59:00.000-05:00I should listen to country music more I guess..(or...I should listen to country music more I guess..<BR/>(or listen to the lyrics)<BR/><BR/>as for mid life.

Thank goodness he has the sensibility of a middle aged man rather than a fearless 21 year old.

I've heard from Bethany about your plans for fall, and I've seen you, across the aisles, after church, but we'll have to connect face-to-face soon. (And maybe you could recommend an album for a birthday that's coming up...!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the note--it's always fun to get comments and find out who's reading!<BR/><BR/>JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155326417384516302006-08-11T15:00:00.000-05:002006-08-11T15:00:00.000-05:00I'm not sure you remember me, but we met once duri...I'm not sure you remember me, but we met once during a "get-to-know-you" shindig for people becoming members at Church of the Rez back in April. You shared about your enjoyment of blogging and gave out your blog address. I've been reading and hooked ever since! Your blogs are so inspiring, thoughtful and entertaining. I definitely think you're a very gifted writer. <BR/><BR/>As an avid country music fan myself, I especially liked this blog. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we'll meet again sometime at church...keep up the good blogging!<BR/><BR/>KirstenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155301862456751412006-08-11T08:11:00.000-05:002006-08-11T08:11:00.000-05:00Woo-hoo!!

It's not a future but a present reality for you. I like your idea of trying out different genres and then landing somewhere comfortable and right. I sent off my manuscript last week, so now it's forth-and-back with the editors about details. Time consuming but fun. They have asked me to write another book for them. So, I'm thinking about that.<BR/>AnetteDr. Anettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684877381598852676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155254993954200352006-08-10T19:09:00.000-05:002006-08-10T19:09:00.000-05:00That is cute, sweet, and an awfully nice read!That is cute, sweet, and an awfully nice read!Curious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155225043799228492006-08-10T10:50:00.000-05:002006-08-10T10:50:00.000-05:00Anette--Coming from you, that's such a compliment!...Anette--Coming from you, that's such a compliment! Thank you, and I will take it seriously.<BR/><BR/>I have thought--and others keep telling me too--that I probably have a book in me somewhere. I think it's a question of timing. For now, I think I'm supposed to be waiting--and investing in six children. <BR/><BR/>But I also felt permission from the Lord to start this blog, partly to find out if I could make time to write daily, and if I could keep strong boundaries around the writing so that I didn't neglect my kids or home--a tough balance to strike! Also, I'm trying out different voices and topic and figuring out what I like to do and what I'm good at.<BR/><BR/>I'm partly hoping too, that through blogging, I'll get a clearer sense of what my message is, of what the Lord may want me to communicate more in-depth, in a book sometime.<BR/><BR/>So thank you for the encouragement. Pray for me if you think of it--and let me know if you have any ideas for me! I think we believers need to be mirrors for each other (see "A Mirror for my Birthday" under Past Post Highlights in my sidebar). I'm convinced that I need others' perspective to see myself clearly--so I'd love to hear from you or anyone who's been reading here regularly.<BR/><BR/>Waiting on the Lord is often about incubation, I believe. You house and protect these little dreams until their time.<BR/><BR/>So how's YOUR book coming?? Nearly done?<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1155208341277673282006-08-10T06:12:00.000-05:002006-08-10T06:12:00.000-05:00bJeanne, I really think you should start pondering...bJeanne, I really think you should start pondering a book outline of some sort. You're a great writer. Pray about it and watch your ideas beginning to take shape! Go check Baker Books and see if they publish something that looks appealing for you to do too.<BR/>AnetteDr. Anettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684877381598852676noreply@blogger.com
