Joyful Transformation

Sometimes I think this blog habit may not be good for me. I can’t wait to get on and see what everyone is up to. If your like me lack of comments doesn’t mean you don’t read and enjoy what people have to say, sometimes all you can say is “amen” and that is really not necessary. I guess I could be doing or reading worse things.

I was thinking about this in context of what I have learned from various blogs. One of the things I have found most useful is from Judy Thomas’ post on Examen. Now each night after I write my prayer in my prayer journal, I reflect on the day and write down the thing that has made me the happiest and the thing that has made me saddest during the day. I don’t light the candle, but I am sure that would be a neat thing to do.

I have learned some not so meaningful things to; Terri tried Brandon’s Orange-Pinapple home made ice cream and brought it to my house on the 4th of July. I had no ideal you could do so much with guacamole (Mike Cope’s blog). I have taken spiritual gift test (SG), passed along jokes (Joe Quile) and just basically enjoyed sharing whatever you have to share. My ideals have been challenged, my horizons broadened and most of the time my day has been made by something you have written. So, maybe it is good for me. What about you? Have you learned anything useful or otherwise?
