a little Lonesome Dove, on 'fire'

Yes, so,
scooped me up one of those Kindle Fire tablets...and...
felt inclined to put up an edition of the Larry McMurtry classic novel.
I just got done with the dvd version and have to say I really needed a hanky. I was curious to see if the actual book itself could produce the same effects or not.
movie=good 6 hr. investment
book=???

*(the tablet=so far so good)

Are you kidding me right now?!

wow

another year

oh my

Well, I moved again - back to Chandler. My friend let me use a room in his new house. I like that I'm a little closer to the "DC" (new nickname for downtown chandler) and Hamilton High. My own room is a definite perk, too. I 'dog-sat' the last 2 days for a little yorkie...goodness.

So, I hope 2012 is more of a smooth road and not so much a bumpy trail.
Good luck to you!

Looking back, ahead



how do you recap a whole year in a few lines of text?
you really can't do it (very well, anyway).
but I thought about 2011 and realized one thing at least - it sure flew by!

and on that note, I give you the 'thesis' of this post: I think it's important that we try to live our lives like we only have 1 more day to do it in...because...for all we know...it just might be the truth.

here are some things I can say about this past year, and the year coming up.
* I need to be more charitable * I need the Spirit more * I fail my fellow man/woman too much * My will and His will need to be in sync * I can work on my flaws and fix them * My heart wants to change, I need to let it * I have to focus better on my goals * Jesus knows I love him but my service is often lacking * Being single is not progressing --> 'nuff said
