Okay, so I Trashed a Friend's Blog!

I have been receiving a few odd emails recently.  As any smart computer user does when they are not sure of the source, I deleted them.  The Subject was simply "SOMETIMES".   And then it dawned on me...  Maybe I'd better take a look.

Well, as it turned out, my friend from Ohio had long ago started a blog and I signed up to receive notification of any articles she posted there.  However, she never got her blog off the ground and I had long ago forgotten I had signed up.

I'm so glad I opened that email this morning.  Looks like she is back to writing.  Writing is her thing anyway.  She had been a columnist in her local newspaper back in the day, so now I am looking forward to interesting observations from her.

Maybe that will get me to write more too.

This could NOT be resisted!

Ya'll remember that now.... !

Oh no! Not MORE cemetery art!!??

Have you noticed? Hard to miss that I've used several cemetery art images recently. Somehow, this art has caught my imagination. It all started a year or so ago when one of my plurky friends started photographing these lovely statues at a cemetery she went to. One of the photos that stayed in my memory had an added attraction: she placed a live rose in the photograph. It made the image even more sad and melancholy. But nonetheless, even more beautiful.

I really don't consider this art morbid. I think it expresses the sadness at the loss of the loved one that the family is experiencing. It also expresses to future generations that this dead person was once alive just like we are... with similar joys and sorrows... and that someone was mourned just as we will be when we leave this earth...

This week is Holy Week. We will be remembering that our God allowed His Son to die so that we might live. There was mourning at the tomb... But sunrise brought the joy of Resurrection!

What was I thinking of?

What in the world am I doing with another blog?

I surely must be a glutton for punishment! Believe it or not, I am now the caretaker of FOUR blogs!!! One is my parish blog and then there is my family blog, another church-related blog and this one! Good grief!

Then there is Facebook and Plurk... I can't forget those... All because I love to write.
