Re: Book Giveaway – Refuse to Do Nothing: Finding Your Power to Abolish Modern-Day Slavery

Monica — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:06:27 -0000

I'm familiar with Shayne's writing so I would like to read this new book. Of course, anything that speaks to me as a Christian mom is high on my To Read list.

Re: Christian Music, Pagan Music, and Worship Bands

first of all, that's cool you are a drummer. I've always wanted to learn to play the drums. maybe someday I will seriously pursue it.

as a teen, a lot of those songs helped and encouraged me to stay on the path. lots of Amy Grant, Mylon, Petra, Smitty. I was in it for the lyrics and the way it made me want more of the Lord. I had few Christian friends, wasn't able to attend church Sundays for a sermon, so often listening to that music was it for me.

now as an adult, I've moved on from only listening to CCM. I still love Caedmon's Call, but have come to realize I can enjoy old 10,000 Manics too.

Re: Community Building Step #1: Say Hello!

Such a simple idea but easily overlooked. Saying Hi is definitely underrated.

I'll share. I was only at the Y one day this week. Usually, I go twice because two of my kids have classes. Karate and ballet. The kids are off for the next few weeks so getting to workout at the Y sometimes doesn't happen. I do a weight lifting and core classes.

Never been a runner but I love all the funky colored running shoes out today.

I've never taken rejection well, but I'm learning not to take it personally. It's not personal, it's blogging.

Re: Do you have a BFF

I have a bunch of go-to friends online but few IRL. Only close to two women at church and we still rarely talk outside of church.

Great list, Katey! I like Google Local to find good places to eat on the road.

I've never deleted a blog post. That's one thing in which I've been totally consistent. :)

Hey, Crystal! Look at all these comments!

I think you are going to make a FINE roomate at the conference. ;)

Re: Critique

Monica — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:20:33 -0000

yes! when do we start? :)

Hmmm. Well, if I ignore Twitter and whatnot, I'll have time to do a fiction and non-fiction group. I've been in a critique group before, also via the web, and it was a very positive experience.

Re: {Smaller Bloggers} Comments & Comment Etiquette

Monica — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:26:40 -0000

Hmmm. I think this might be my first comment here. Hi, to everyone!

I noticed a big shift in commenting once Twitter became a huge part of blogging. A lot of the chatter shifted to Twitter and away from blogs. Has anyone else found that to be true?

I also read my RSS feed on my phone now and leaving a comment isn't as fast (typing with one finger); I know that must affect other people too.

Re: Welcome to our Good life!: My last 3in30 post! WOW!

Hey, I've been seeing the #3in30 for awhile so I think I'm finally going to join in. I do love a new year for goals.

Re: 3 in 30 wrap-up

Monica — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 13:54:53 -0000

I'm also guilty of not going to bed early. Must change that in January when I join the #3in30 challenge for the first time.

Hey, Ashley! I just got done writing a post all about being lazy last year as a blogger, so I think I better join your 3 in 30 group. I need some community accountability! Have a blessed NYE!
