The Original Tea Room # 8

I had to look up Blog in the online dictionary. Now my question is, why would anyone want to keep a diary of daily or weekly events for all the world to read? Aren't you supposed to hide the key from your little brother and put the diary under your mattress? ;)

See: blogosphere, blogrolling, blognosing, blogorrhea, blogger, War blog and dooced.

I can just see the blog of the average housewife.
'Today I found a spaghetti stain on hubby's best white shirt. I'm trying the bleach pen and will update tomorrow if it works or not'. LOLOL

 

Blogging has changed in the last year or so. It is a simple way to post virtually anything online. Our photoblog is a great way for family and friends to visually stay up to date with family and ministry.

Google has new software that allows blogging photos with about 3 clicks.

I also do a blog version of my daily devos, closed to all except thse who have the address. Several family members have shared how these have been a blessing to them.

We are not talking about a 14 year olds pink diary with a heart shaped key. Blogging has evolved beyond journaling.

It is a great way to stay up to date with friends without paying for a website.

 

Actually "The Original Tea Room" is a group blog

I got up this morning about 9:30. I usually
get up at 6:30 with the alarm except for
7:30 on Sunday. But it is a day off. I
like days off -- best part of my job is the
days off

Thankful and I read our niece's blog.
We knew more than than their parents about
many details of the nephew & niece's
daily life. I guess one day they found out
who was reading and changed location; but that
could have been one of the less discrete relatives?

-Blogger Ed,

 

I think I shall remain in my ignorance and retain my sanity; wot I have left!

Cheers,

Jim

 

I don't post blogs to anybody ;) . If they want to look I will provide an address .

 

I think you need to have an interesting life to need a blog. My laundry days and floor scrubbing would bore you to death. LOLOL I'll just BBblog instead.

Shucks, My teen diary was boring!

 

You could blog that. We like to read historical writings.

 

In the previous years, I had started a few journals, only to have them fizzle out. I found a journal I had started in 2003. The first entry stated how I had always wanted to keep a journal and continue it for as long as I could write. At the time, I felt I had a lot to say. 3 pages later, it fizzled out.

 

I have to do an "Engineer's Diary" - daily - when I'm at work. Often - I do not fill up the page!

Dan - I'd rather talk than write!

 

This IS the day the Lord hath made, I WILL rejoice and be glad in it.

Everything is wonderful here and I am glad to be among the living.

Wife, daughters and granddaughter will be back from England on Friday. They had a wonderful tour of England and Scotland. It was unusually hot, but they were determined to enjoy themselves and not moan about weather.

Rejoice, and again, I say, rejoice..........

Cheers,

Jim

 

Oh I know you're enjoying those children and grandchildren, Jim!

I saw where it has been quite hot there for this time of year!

I've not seen an update on the young dog you found. Is she still doing well?

Diane

 

I won't see the granddaughters this year. One daughter and granddaughter flew directly back to Tampa, Florida. Mary will go there for Christmas, and the kids will be here next June for the month.

Wife and one daughter came home. Daughter lives just a few miles from us. They had a great time, but are glad to be home as well.

Buddy thinks she has lived here all her life. She is a lovely dog and fits in quite well. In fact, she shared my bed the whole two weeks Mary was away..along with Snoopy the little beagle, of course.

Thanks for asking, and cheers,

Jim

 

Just thought it was time to say hello. It is a lovely hot day here and I am enjoying it much. Clearing more acreage into grass and eventually to plant a few fruit trees in the open space. We already have apple trees, but intend to plant some pear and plum trees. Love the outdoors and the freedom to work there as I please.

Cheers,

Jim

 

By the way, did you know that I was "pompous". Yes, so-called Bro. Curtis said so, and it must be true. I have need a holiday from here anyway, so, I am taking that much needed holiday. Just getting too old for the rhubarb.

Cheerio to my friends, and God bless,

Pompous Jim

 

I have now become a member of the local Anglican parish, and therefore, will only be posting in non-Baptist sections of the board.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I guess we have to just keep bumping this thread up

 

Jim,

The Lord looks at our hearts, not at the labels we attach to ourselves.

May God continue to bless you in your ministry.

Blessings

Sheila

 

Hi Sheila,

You notice that this thread was delisted once I announced my change to Anglican membership. Oh well, I rather expected it, so am not surprised.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Yes Jim, I did notice that. :( Back to labels once again.

 

Well, they don't know the whole story, and I don't intend to tell it here. The Lord knows the mission, as do you, and at my age and station, that is what counts. Praise God!

Cheers,

Jim
