Happy Birthday, Jabberfrog!

6 Mar

It’s been two years since I launched my blog.  I remember it like it was yesterday… it all began with my first domain name.  Born from a love and passion for good coffee my creativity overwhelmed me and I came up with the blog name…

www.javagina.com

But all my twisted, sick friends could see was the word vagina.

So, I abandoned that domain name and moved to jabberfrog.com.  Why?

Because it was unused, unusual and completely unrelated to any anatomical body part known to man.  That’s why.

So here we are 2 years later.  Where would I be without my blog?

Truly, I don’t know.  This blog is the source of some very valuable relationships I wouldn’t know outside of the blogging world.  I’m a better leader, a better parent and a better Christ follower as a result.  So, I’m embarking on another year.  Excited to see what God will do.

Thank you to all my blogging friends.  Looking forward to more.  :)

I’m sober today

9 Nov

I hope it sticks.  But I know that I’ll probably fall off the wagon soon.  That’s the way of addiction, right?  But with time, prayer and accountability possibly the falls off the wagon grow farther apart.  I hope.

I confess to an addiction.  Probably not the first few vices that pop in your head.  Alcohol.  Drugs.  Whipped Cream cans.  (although there was a time…  But I digress. :) )

My addiction is far more suttle.  And far more socially acceptable. 

I’m addicted to comfort. 

I like being comfortable. 

I like my warm clothes.  I love my bed.  My pillow and I are pretty tight.  I’m so addicted to these creature comforts that I take for granted the blessing they are. 

Yesterday it would have been a foreign thought that my bed and pillow are blessings.  Yet today I look at them entirely different.  I spent the morning serving breakfast to a group of people that don’t have such simple comfort.  It’s sobering. 

Lord, place people in my life to draw me out and keep me out of my inward-focused world!  Break this addiction in me. 

Great blog posts…

Here are some great blogs that caught my attention.

Floating Axhead talks about crossing the line. You be the judge.

Eric’s thoughts sober me.

Feeling trapped? Here’s what Scott has to say.

One of the most creative blogs I’ve seen.  Explicit verbage.

And… Bob reminded me how to serve my husband. Thanks Bob!
