Sunday Scribblings - Stranger

I find it quite strange that some of the strangers I met on the net through blogging and tweetering seems to be more in touch with me than my real life friends. Many of these strangers are are no longer "strangers" even though we have not met face to face - we have become friends. Isn't that quite fascinating; or interesting to say the least. And yet while some of my "live friends" find it strange that I pour so much time on blogging, the strangers who I have met and became friends don't. Now have I used the word strange and stranger enough? ;)

For more scribblings on "strange", go to Sunday Scribbling's page.

Come Thou Fount - by David Crowder

Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
I'll praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above

This song is dedicated to my friends Karen and Joe as they lean upon the Lord and trust in Him in this time of grieving...

7 Things and Happenings

*If you came here through Aloha Friday, my Aloha Friday Post is HERE.

Lots of things and happenings and it's easier for me to share on this format for now so I don't get overwhelmed. I promise I will have some substantial and more coherent posts later, but for now, here's a random quick update on what's going on:

1. I attended a 2 hour seminar today on Internet Safety. Pretty good.

2. I received 2 new books to review: a) The Unexpected When You're Expecting by Mary K. Moore (hilarious!) and b) Organize Now by Jennifer Ford Berry (very organized indeed!) - I love both of them and will post the review soon (hopefully this weekend).

3. My daughter N is so organized, I am so proud of her.

4. I met a blogger and tweeter pal from Maui ("e-met" that is). I am so excited. She might become my partner on the A MAUI BLOG blog that I want to fully launch. I won't reveal who she is yet as we have not finalized our partnership yet :)

5. I cooked Nilaga yesterday - oh that broth soup is sooo soothing. Kinda like the Chicken Soup.

6. Christmas is coming soon!!!!! I've got lots to share. Oh please Lord, give me some time to post lots of entries about Christmas.

7. Hey, what are your plans for Thanksgiving? Turkey on the menu?
