Yesterday, I see on one of my Facebook friends that she is "...lying in the shade of poisoned trees." Now, granted she is 20 years old and in college but I think ,I know this is probably not a literal lying but is she in trouble or sad or just being really dramatic! So, what does a mother figure do? She messages her about the lying thing. Today, my sweet, young friend messages back to say, "LOL, no, this is the title of the new Dashboard Confessional's CD. Now, I know who Dashboard Confessional is but I had no idea this was a new CD. No matter how I try to keep up with things, the world changes way too fast for me. However, my young friends are so kind to put up with my lame comments and lack of knowledge.
Maybe, I should say something about riding in a Yellow Submarine or I'm jumping on Grandma's feather bed. Do you think they would understand what songs I was referring to by my comments?
How about you? What thing change too fast for you? Or does the world seem to stand still for you?
(You would be pleased to know, in only 10 minutes, I figured our how to hide the link above!)
Looking forward to hearing about the changes in your world!

The First of Many
If you know me well, you know I love new things. Technology might anger me at random times but I love the challenge of learning new things. Being a blogger is a my new thing. I've been reading Beth Moore's blog at Living Proof's website and I am encouraged to the point of tears or laughter or both. I've been thinking about blogging and all the ramifications of writing a blog since I've been reading Beth's posts, so I decided to take the plunge today.
Years ago, maybe 15 years or so, God gave me a Godsend name. (If you watch Heroes, you recognize the term Godsend.) He told me this name would be for a ministry in the future. Therefore, over the years I tried to squeeze the name into every ministry I was involved in at the time. But, the name never seemed to fit. It didn't seem to fit a homeschool ministry, could fit a women's minstry but didn't seem to be the right time or right place and finally God didn't want to combine camping ministry with the name. I finally decided to give up! Wise of me, wasn't it?
Now years later, God says, "Write a blog!" and what name pops up-Forever Friends- my name of long ago! Not only does the name fit but when I am choosing a template to blog, I find the template Thisaway Rose. I'm blown away! Why? God told me to include a rose in the ministry's logo. How cool is God! Of course as I write this, I have tears streaming down my face. I'm grateful to serve a God who loves me and fulfills all my dreams and all His plans.
So here's hoping (in the Biblical sense of a certain hope), we become Forever Friends. Looking forward to a lifetime of posting and sharing.
