Multi-subject First Post

I must say I am skeptical to begin this blog. First, I don’t have kids nor am I married, which seems to me to be the highest percentage of bloggers. However, Courtney Green and her very wise and thought provoking blog have convinced me that I will enjoy it. I have toiled over the first subject of my first post. I have entertained several ideas, but none stood out as the “one!” So, I have decided to have a multi-subject first blog entry; none of which are highly interesting, but all are constant happenings in my life.

1. Katherine and Robert
I told her she was going to be my first post, and she did not believe me. This is to prove her wrong. Here are a couple of pictures to reminisce from the old days and a recent shot from their latest adventure as a COUPLE! Blessings to you both as you embark on long distance dating!! I coundn't be happier for you. Love you KK... hope you don't kill me, but my word is my word. Let your yes be yes and your no be no.

2. West Wing
I am obsessed! I cannot wait to crawl into bed and find out the latest from the White House. I am currently on season 2 and am waiting for Donna and Josh to confess their undying love for one another. I am also in complete agreement with Chris Musgrove that this is some of the greatest television ever written. I can’t decide what about it that is so entertaining; I have come to the conclusion that my combined love for Jackie Kennedy, politics, Washington D.C. and the movie The American President have fueled my love for this television masterpiece.3. Faith is not a Feeling
I was given the most wonderful book, Faith is not a Feeling by Ney Bailey! With my best friend being in EA for a year, it made it difficult to always encourage each other over the phone, so she bought this book for me. I hesitated to start this book because I was in the depths of a very mind boggling Danielle Steel book. Ha. I did however take the plunge. It has been life changing, something DS will never be. So that this post won’t go on forever, Ill leave you with my favorite part:

“But as strong and fluctuating as my feelings are, God’s word is: Truer than anything I feel, truer than anything I experience, truer than any circumstance I will ever face, truer than anything in the world. Why? Because heaven and earth will pass away but God’s word will not. This means that no matter how I feel or what I experience, I can choose to depend on the Word of God as the unchanging reality of my life.”

Alley,

I just spent the past two hours following a trail of blog links and ended up getting to yours from Katherine's. I scanned for awhile and then saw something that caught my eye. The West Wing is the greatest.show.ever. Season 2 is the best season by far. Episodes 1 and 2 of that season are probably the best episodes of the show. And any episode with Ainsley Hayes is a good one. I bought the Complete Series box set the week it came out. I should be done, but I'm in season 6 right now. Anyway, just wanted to say hey and get my West Wing fix.
