100 posts and counting. . . .

I'm back home!!! And while I'm saddened that I don't have my mom sitting in the same room with me, I am very glad to be among all things familiar. There really is nothing so sweet as coming home.

This is my 100th post! I can hardly believe it! Is there something special I'm supposed to do for a 100th post? If so, I don't know what it is. I guess I'll just claim the "blond" thing on this one (tee hee). Frankly, I'm still trying to get this "blogging" thing down.

I just started blogging in June of this year in obedience to a call from God. Honestly, before that I vaguely even knew what a blog was, let alone ever considered writing one. Those of you who know me in real life, know this has to be true. I'm a pretty private person. Putting my life out on the world wide web was not something I aspired to do. Yet, if nothing else I've learned over the years, it's best to obey the LORD. Doing otherwise has negative consequence (in more ways than one).

What's transpired during the past 4 months has been amazing!!! I've met some of the most talented, funny, caring, Christ-loving women that I wouldn't have met otherwise and have been totally blown away by their comments and blogs. I've laughed with them, cried with them and praised with them.

Hum, it almost sounds Biblical doesn't it? And of course it is. God has called us to be the body of Christ. And while that can and does happen on the local, church level, I don't think it should be limited to that. As we've developed new technologies, God has found new ways to move and connect us.

We hear so much about the negative aspects of the Internet. All you have to do is turn on the tv. and there's bound to be some story warning us of the "dangers" that lurk around every cyber corner. While I don't disagree that Internet has been used for evil purposes, what I'd like to do today here on my 100th post is CELEBRATE--celebrate the good, the community that's been created without us even realizing it.

So here's to my Siestas (and you know who you are)!! Thank you--for all you are and for all that you do both here and in real life. I can't wait to meet you face-to-face, and as my southern siestas would say, "and hug your neck!" Can you say, "San Antonio?" Until then, I'll be here blogging away.

All this and God too! Who could ask for anything more? Yes, life in bloggityville is good, very good.
