Me and My Guitar
I'm not big on making New Years Resolutions, mainly because I never keep them. I start out with a bang, but usually start slacking off around week 2 of January. Barry and I are going to write out our goals for 2008...maybe if we call them "goals" instead of "resolutions" we'll have more success.
I'm not going to tell you all of them (because then you might actually ask me about one of them in February or March!) Maybe in December I'll write about the goals that actually got accomplished.
One of the goals I have for this year is to learn how to play my guitar. About 2 years ago Barry and I went to a conference and I heard a young lady sing and play the song "All for Love". It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard and I vowed at that moment, even though I had never even strummed a guitar, that I would learn how to play and sing that song. Well, a year passed by and I still hadn't attempted to play a guitar.
Then for Mother's Day last year, Barry surprised me with...you guessed it...A GUITAR! He even got me an electronic tuner and a couple of books that teach you how to play the guitar in just a few easy (ha!) lessons. I was really into it for a couple of days...then my fingers hurt!
Anyway, I still have visions of me being able to sing and play "All for Love" just like the girl I saw, so 2008 will be the year that I learn how to play my guitar...or at least learn the major chords! Anybody have any tips on how to keep my fingers from hurting?

Here's To Tomorrow...
(Thanks for the memories!)The path of 2007 has been a challenging - often painful - part of the journey, and few understand this like "The Real Staff Wives of Orange County": the pastor's wives at C3 Church. These, my sisters, know what the past year has been - for me, for themselves, their husbands, friends, and for the church.
Amanda, Andrea, and Sandi are the "Real Staff Wives of Orange County", but they are not defined by their position, who their husbands are, how "well" they perform, what others say about them...etc. They are defined by "whose" they are - THEY ARE HIS: Christ followers with a passion for others to know Him.
It is because they know whose (and whom) they are that they can love with abandon, give 'til they feel it, lose and not look back, and be...really be barbaric in their spreading of grace.
I love these "graceful barbarians", and I thank them for their patience, their sacrifice, their endurance, their support...and for their love, in return.
Sandi, Andrea, and Amanda:
You rock! Thanks for being warriors on this path of peace - I wouldn't trade you for anything.
Here's to 2008 - It's gonna be a crazy-great ride. Thanks for being in it with me.
Love, Angie
