Dear Bloggie, I'm sorry that you are not the star of blogs. Probably will never be. But, hey! You'll always be MINE, and that is extraordinary in itself, don't you think? I have browsed a number of really, really, REALLY remarkable spots in blogworld. Some extra talented authors! How do people come with all those creative names, titles, tags, and what not? I wish I found a neat name for you and one for me. What do you think of "a girl and her blog"? All I can think of is nicknames I've already seen, or nicknames I'll see if I do a quick google search. There's nothing new under the sun, right? On another topic, have you ever gone to a place and a nice pot of fresh coffee is there for you and any other coffee lover? And creamer, flavored or THE original, waiting to be shaken in a light sprinkle... All you have to do is pour yourself some in a styrofoam cup -- provided, I should add, and enjoy every hot, soothing sip. But has it ever crossed your mind that an actual human being made it all possible, even though he/she is nowhere to be seen? Ground coffee was placed in the right container, on top of a paper filter, water filled the carafe, and a switch was turned on, AFTER the appliance was plugged in. Let alone the fact that someone else grew the beans, harvested them, packed them, shipped them, for he/she - i.e. invisible coffee maker - to purchase at Target (or any other retailer of choice). It's like that with, oh, soooo many things that we take for granted. Next time, will you please find at least the person who made the drink and express your appreciation? Same with everything else that seems to just "be there" when needed, and "gone" when not needed. So, to follow my own sage advice, THANK YOU extra talented authors for the wealth of insight and gifts you carefully type on your blogs for the deLIGHT and enLIGHTenment of me and countless others. God bless each one of you!

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
