Sometimes you have to take a day…
… and do errands. Got up for an 8:30 meeting, which went well, but long. Then went to pastor/Fire Dweller leader prayer, followed by our Fire Dweller meeting, followed by lunch with Javi, errands, a visit to Barnes & Noble and at last home.We have a new Fire Dweller motto. Talk is cheap.Now I’m writing a few pages of Diva. …
Increase your tension and your speed
“Increase your tension and your speed.”This is what our spinning instructor said to us this morning. What? Climb a steeper hill and go faster? At 6:15 a.m.? You’re crazy. I went faster, but my hill got smaller. ::wink, wink::Watched “Walk The Line” with Tony. Good movie. Research I suppose. Worked on Diva outline today. Got some feedback on my synopsis …
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
It’s an old Monkey’s tune. Now you know.Long day at church with services and after church party for the youth, but it was fun. Good conversation around the light booth with Dave, Trisha, Elizabeth, Chelle and et. al. Afterwards, Tony and I came home and have been talking and doing stuff on our computers.

I killed my mirror

Accomplished today
I did some research for Diva, and started writing her bio as if she were speaking in an interview. It was fun because I just let the information flow and didn’t try to fix it.It’s a great way to learn about the character. Worked on dedication and acknowledgements for Lost In Nashvegas. I loved this part – it’s my favorite. …
Resurrection Sunday
Today’s the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, conquering death and hades. Our church always has a sunrise service on the beach, and today was simply beautiful. But greater than Jesus being raised from the dead, and ascending into heaven, is that he also lives in us. Colossians 1:27 Paul reminds us that “Christ in you, the hope …
