It's <a href="http://sherev.blogspot.com/2010/12/looking-for-light.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> although I don't expect any hits at this point in the morning. Shoot. I haven't even read it all the way through yet, but I'm heading to bed. I'll get up in a few hours and read it again and see if it still makes some sort of sense. It's a lot less explanatory (for lack of a better word) than I usually preach, which I like, but I don't know yet if I can communicate well without connecting the dots. I don't know if I trust myself with that style or if it's something I can even pull off. I guess we'll see. I think I like it, but we'll see.<br /><br />Night night.Stephanie Anthony/She Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089531643725874239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-75374916162395636142010-12-05T03:37:20.328-05:002010-12-05T03:37:20.328-05:00P.S.

I've got it going now and think I'll work just a little bit longer then hit the hay. I'm at about 864 words and trying to keep it to 1200 because of communion and a congregational meeting. I think I can do it if I bring it home now. This sort of shorter (for me) meditation is a discipline! I have to let go of words that I probably hold onto way too tightly. Almost there, so I'll keep going for a little, but head to bed for a couple of hours shortly.Stephanie Anthony/She Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089531643725874239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-89278869360912768152010-12-05T03:07:30.640-05:002010-12-05T03:07:30.640-05:00Anyone still out there?Anyone still out there?semfemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669630858664979871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-3937940936653911332010-12-05T02:07:50.148-05:002010-12-05T02:07:50.148-05:00Sleep well, Vicar!

The magic blue suction thingy helped some, but then I tripped on something noisy on my way out of the room so she's awake again. I'm hoping she'll settle back down on her own momentarily, but it's not sounding good at this point.Stephanie Anthony/She Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089531643725874239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-34347959299656949172010-12-05T01:00:57.365-05:002010-12-05T01:00:57.365-05:00Hi, Vicar and SheRev :-) I'm in good shape ton...Hi, Vicar and SheRev :-) I'm in good shape tonight as I'm doing the family service and came up with an easy and perfect approach earlier, but I wanted to stop by the late night party anyway!<br /><br />May the words flow smoothly and still look good when morning comes; even if they don't, the Spirit will be at work through the heart with which you preach.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399176212493797062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-51183212176371819682010-12-05T00:56:57.961-05:002010-12-05T00:56:57.961-05:00I totally agree.
