Well, I’m honored and humbled at the same time! Someone posted a comment to me this week, that blogging was such an odd word, and I kind of agree. Blogging sounds like some symptom that we women have when we are suffering from P.M.S. So being considered a blogger, really makes us sound like we just talk too much…lol…you know in a way that demands attention, much like a woman with P.M.S. Well, I’ll accept that as a good thing, because so many in this world have trouble finding their voice, and I finally have. So I will graciously accept this Versatile Blogger Award and would like to thank Sophia at http://inspirationallaround.wordpress.com/. I’ve really come to enjoy Sophia’s blogs, and they have been an encouragement to me each day.
Now to fulfill the standards of this award. I don’t ever just quickly do things anymore so this is going to take some time.
7 things about myself…
1. I’m the 7th of 9 kids, born on the 7th day of the week, at 7…thus my love of the number 777.
2. I have 2 natural daughters, 3 adopted daughters, 2 stepsons, 4 grandsons and 1 spoiled granddaughter, whom I love with all my heart!
3. I love to draw, yet it is the one thing most people haven’t seen yet.
4. I’ve worked in many areas of theater (stage not movie), including being a theater tech and stage manager, but my love for it comes from the creation of the story through all areas of the production.
5. I’m a simple person in that I don’t need a lot in my life to make me happy, just love and Jesus.
6. I wish there were more hours in the day so I could enjoy everything that I enjoy!
7. (I saved this for my favorite number on purpose…because it is my favorite thing about me) I’m a Sinner saved by the Grace and Mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes…that means I’m a Christian.
8. I have a degree in Music/Vocal Performance, and actually cut a demo cd years ago.
9. I’m most in my element when singing for the Lord, but it doesn’t have to be in front of the masses, just out in the country or at home, singing to him!
Oops…lol…see…you got me started and I went past 7 things…lol. Hey…I’m new at this!
Wow! I have to list 15 to 20 bloggers I like…hmmm…well being new at this too, I confess I’ve been searching out blogs that I enjoy, so here goes…

20. http://blogginghounds.wordpress.com/ …I’ve got to say I found myself really enjoying this blog that covers such a variety of topics. The fact that they call themselves the blogging hounds makes me feel like I’m in some old English detective novel, searching out the many mysteries of life.
