By "Request": Shorter Poem
Since the last one was a little long (and unfinished), my sister Melissa thought I should post another shorter poem. It makes for a quick post, anyway, and it helps keep my posts variegated. ;) Hope you enjoy and find it a blessing (at least a little)!
Lord, Consume Me

Poem
Well, here's a little poem that I wrote over two years ago that I was editing yesterday. It still needs some work and has a few rough spots, but I hope it'll be a blessing, even so. ...

What's Wrong With Me?
Okay, yes, I chose that title to catch your attention. It worked didn’t it? Not too long ago, a friend of the family, pointed out that I am perhaps too serious-or not fun-loving enough (at least that’s the way I understood some comments). She’s since repented of it, and said a few days ago that’s not true about me ( Read more... ) -

Commenters -- Top 7 for October
For any of you using the sweet e-mail feature that sends comments, you should know that LJ has been bad recently. Over the last three days, many comments have failed to be sent via e-mail. As a result, several people’s comments were temporarily missed. =/ Just thought everyone should know ( Read more... ) -
You know you've been doing LJ too much when ...
You wake up and the only dream you can remember was one about getting 35 LJ comments. LOL. (OK, it's LJ vacation time, again. =P)
There was only 1, though. -
Littl' O' This, Littl' O' That
Packing has begun in earnest for the weeklong cruse to Central America and Mexico. It will be my first time (in recollection) leaving the States, and I look forward to the diversion. We’ll be leaving on the seventh day of the week (viz. tomorrow), God willing. There should be a few picturesque photos of the trip to bring back for all you picture ( Read more... ) -
Red Hair and Billy Graham
Less LJ Commenting
OK, something is up. People are commenting less than normal all throughout LJ, it seems. Are the upcoming holidays affecting the number of LJ comments? No, it’s something else. What we need is synchronized days off from LJ. We should all synchronize our LJ vacations, so that we don’t miss anything. ;)

Job Situation
It may be time to find a new job. Work has slowed way down since our primary client was lost. So, at work today, I had some time to check out job openings in the Tampa area. If anyone has a burden to pray about it, please feel free. =) It’s amazing how unstable work can be ( Read more... ) -
Real Question
So, what Bible translations do you all use? And, why? If you believe in only using the KJV, can you defend that position? Does it matter at all? If it does, how would we know which versions should be used? Should we all learn Hebrew and Greek and forget about versions?
(FYI, I use both the KJV or the NKJV. No others.)
