blogging wife
michelle now has her very own blog! I've tried to get her to post here for a while, but I'm glad that she's got a place to call her own.
I realized recently that blogs can be dangerous when it comes to marital communication. this bloggy stuff is cool for lots of reasons, but if I use it as a substitute for face-to-face and heart-to-heart communication, its a very bad thing, right?
and while we're on the subject of blogs, I've been feeling too much pressure (from myself) to be "cool" here in this space. lots of my fellow bloggers are indeed cool, and have various ideas, perspectives, etc to contribute to the community. but I, for one, will not be a shining star among them, and that's ok. I'm here to recount a bit of what God is doing in my life, and that's about it. so I'm done with being sad about being left of people's blogrolls. I'm through with wanting to be popular. this is no boast, but amazingly true: I am indeed well-loved, and that's good enough for me.

Bob, you are cool. Your blog is cool too, and it should never, ever substitute for face to face interaction. Once that starts to happen, either by myself or by yourself, I hope we'll both do each other a favor and put boot to backside.
go boomtrikes!
Bob I am sorry I have tempted you with my coolness. It has happened many times, I'm sure; I cannot help that I am this cool. But now that my sunglasses have been stolen maybe it'll be better.
Bob, thank you for your post. There's an element of truth that I find bothersome in my own feeble attempts at blogging. In fact, I frequently find myself reluctant to blog, because I don't feel like I have something cool and interesting to say. Thanks for the reminder that just testifying to God's goodness in our lives is more than cool.
The only thing that makes me cool is my corncob pipe and fuzzy bunny slippers and those are both materialistic. You have an inner cool that's almost reptilian.
