2 of my addictions!

We've had children home since before Thanksgiving -  lots of helping Terry to move ahead and regain some strength and figure out how best to live our life to it's fullest.  I've not blogged.  Plus the computer went wack-o.  always excuses on that neglect of posting!

I'm addicted to two things...Chocolate and Scripture study!  One is going overboard and indulging beyond sensibility at times.  The other is my insatiable appetite to feast upon the banquet of all things authoritative ever written or uttered about Christ and his Gospel and the restoration and on and on and on.  I love when something rings so true that I'm moved to tears or joy and always always always this desire to share wells up in my heart.

As I read/study/ponder words that are delivered by someone called to do that deed - even scriptures or talks that I've read before - I have a spiritual experience as the Spirit witnesses to me that what I've just absorbed is pure and true.  Reading/watching/listening to... Scriptures or General Conference talks or Hymns... enlivens me and I'm so blessed.  I love and appreciate the blessing, the gift, to have this source of constant Light available to me IF I am willing to take the time to avail myself of so much to feast on!

I see beautiful blogs all over the place.  Ample white space and something so appealing with a sprinkling of leaves or holly or whatever.  Sort of like the tablecloth and centerpiece on a plain table.  It is so eye appealing and draws one in.  Most are snippets with just the right amount of text...  something quick and easy to absorb.  Authored by young techies, with vast knowledge, of using the wonderful things available in today's world and using it to their advantage.

Anyhow...I looked at my blog and it lacks eye-appeal.  It looks overwhelming and book-like and time consuming to absorb.  So I'm thinking of learning how to use my phone and post some pictures occasionally and maybe learning some artsy things to beautify a page filled with print and then...I just decided- I'm sharing my heart.  I'm excited to share anything I've learned about almost anything I have learned!  So I'll just remain status quo!

I'm older than all of my readers so I will stay cozied up in my sweater and rocking chair and warm my stiff joints by the fire and let the chips fall where they may or in this case...let the words speak for themselves and continue to share my heart.  I appreciate you reading my blog that I keep tucked away!  talk about an oxymoron!
