I take it rather personally when the blogs I follow go three or four days without a new post.
It almost feels like an un-returned phone call or email. Which is a pretty ridiculous response when I think about it because I only know two or three of those writers personally. Why should they feel responsible to write something new just because I keep clicking on their site when I have a free minute? (That sentence just ran on and on and on.......)
Ridiculous or not, I feel connected to them through their words and I look forward to reading more.
So, here I sit in a hotel room in the panhandle of FL. It's not even 6:30 AM. I'm drinking an excuse for coffee from a tiny styrofoam cup. Listening to a baby cry in the next room.
Not a lovely picture at all. But I haven't written in three or four days and I don't want anyone to think I've forgotten you or feel, well, unconnected! Smile.
Actually, I have a pretty hilarious post I can hardly wait to complete that came to me while I was people-watching in the Atlanta airport this week. Funny stuff!
"Why are you in Crestview, FL?" you may be asking.
Because I'm speaking for a women's conference. Which, by the way, is one of my FAVORITE things to do. I'll be at one next week-end too.
I LOVE the joy of sharing God's Word. I LOVE watching the light of new understanding go on in a lady's eyes. I LOVE being privileged to pray with them. I LOVE listening to them, cheering with them, laughing, crying! I LOVE women's conferences!
All the travel, missed flights, pushy passengers, long hours, missed meals, crying babies and bad coffee are totally worth it!!
Speaking of which, I need to jump up and get ready for this morning's service.
One quick point. Several of you have posted comments which I read (sometimes several times) and truly appreciate. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to respond to those. Ah, technology! Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by.
We take it rather personally too when the blogs we follow go two and three days without a post!!!Lol.Well worth the waite... when they come :).There is no doubt you bless so many other women. Rejoycing in our hearts that you come home to us at Garden Grove,,YAY!. We think your the Best and love you and your Family soo much!!
ReplyDeleteYour posts make me laugh P. Sheri! I always love reading them! Love you so much!
ReplyDeleteI love your honesty! I, too, feel left out when I don't "hear" from a blogger I stay "connected" to and then have to realize that these people have lives to live, jobs to work, friends/spouses to be with...and sometimes....I STILL feel rejected - LOL! I look forward to someday hearing you speak because I learn so much from your posts.
ReplyDeletePastor Sheri, when are the women of Garden Grove Church gonna be blessed enough to host
ReplyDeletea women's conference with you being the speaker? It's long over-due. Think about it!
