Sometimes, in this millisecond-load-time lightening-fast internet world, it becomes vital to take a breather.
Especially with the New 2008 Year -- "8" representing the biblical number of new beginnings -- it's a wonderful time to pull my head up from plodding away in the sea and ask myself: Where am I?
"I'm asking you, to dream again...and take the limits off of Me..." Israel Houghton sings God's words to him and by proxy, me.
"Reposition yourself," He says.
And thus, the wild ride with Jesus begins.
Working harder and harder and harder does not always make for more money or happiness.
Rediscovering the things that bring me joy -- reading books, connecting face-to-face and looking folks in the eye once again, laughing at silly movies, crying at melancholy ones, marveling at old black-and-white masterpieces -- and of course, creating -- that brings me joy.
Oh yeah, money is still important. It is the answer for everything.
So when and where and what will I come back with?
As my uncle always says when he doesn't know the answer to some future happening:

Money is more like "the root of all sorts of evil"
I finally got my everyday Bible reading down- by reading it first thing on the computer before checking anything else... including your blog Paula. Happy New Year.
I seriously had to get back to my Bible reading, too.
I've been in the Book of Luke forever, it seems!
And that's the link to the actual DVD that's coming out soon.
I saw the series and it was different and interesting, with mimes acting out our different selves.
Curious...
This is going to be a spectacular year...I can feel it in the wind!
...but what cracked me up the most was the Google ad inside the post...ROFLOL...it was an advertizement for PayPerPost!
Yeah, I'm sure you've had to take some "blog breathers" to write that blockbuster Touched by Fire soon-to-be bestseller!
Thought you may be interested in voting and sharing with your readers a chance to win a luxury holiday.

I have been reading your blog quite a bit, and in fact I learnt about John Chow from you. But I don't see your posting any more here. Did you discontinue this one and move onto a new URL like you were thinking earlier?

Sometimes I blog a little on PaulaNealMooney.com and WatchFreeEpisodes.com
I saw in a comment that you are stuck in the Book of Luke too? Join the club!! lol
I enjoyed this read. Thank you very much.

I added my rss feed from PaulaNealMooney.com back atop this blog so you can see the more recent posts I've put up.
Take care,
Paula
