		<title>Oy, with the poodles already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, I&#8217;m at it again.  Falling behind on writing and forgetting to post.  Then I wonder why nobody&#8217;s reading this thing anymore.  Gee, why would that be the case?  I&#8217;m alive and well, just been busy and traveling again.  This trip was actually planned, believe it or not, well in advance.  My grandparents celebrated their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=255&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Doing stuff with members</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought for a long time this summer that we just weren&#8217;t very busy.  Stuff was moving slowly, we had lots of time on our hands.  Now that school has started again I&#8217;ve realized that we&#8217;re actually quite busy.  Invitations from members keep coming up, lots of activities to get involved with at church, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=252&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mea Culpa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;m one of the slack-est bloggers around.  I keep thinking I will do better with blogging on a regular basis, but truthfully my life isn&#8217;t always interesting enough to blog about.  That and then things get busy with travel (again!) so I end up letting this thing sit for days and weeks at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=245&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Listening to God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My husband asked me yesterday what I feel God is calling me to do, since he read my post.  The thing is, I don&#8217;t know what it is He is calling me for right now, because I haven&#8217;t been listening to Him much lately.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I&#8217;m in worship sometimes twice weekly.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=243&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Falling down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite my good intentions to go to that exercise class today, I stayed home.  I spent a lot more time in front of the television and playing computer/cell phone games than I would like.  And I could spend the rest of the week beating myself up for that.  I tend to fall into these vicious [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=241&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The disconnection of being connected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spend a lot of time by myself.  That&#8217;s not necessarily a bad thing in my mind, though I do know that it wears on me after a long time.  I tend to be introverted, so I enjoy the peace and quiet.  In fact, last week was so hectic that I&#8217;m looking forward to having [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=239&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Busy busy busy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sorry I fell behind on posting stuff this week.  Lots of things happening in my life, all of which left me pretty busy, so busy in fact that I can&#8217;t really remember much from Monday or Tuesday, except that Tuesday evening we had dinner with some member and then chatted with them at our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=237&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ups and Downs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every job has it&#8217;s perks and priviledges along with its downside.  Lawyers get status and money along with often times being regarded and snakes by the general public.  Writers get to control their own hours and get their message out but may be unknown and unpublished for years.  Pastors are no different.  I know lots [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=235&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The danger of pedestals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Please note:  nothing in particular drove this post other than my thoughts on how we all fall into this trap.  I didn&#8217;t have a fight with Travis last night or get frustrated for something he did today.  That does happen from time to time, but was not the driving force of this post.
The problem with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=232&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Exercise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After stressing because my doctor wants me to exercise, and knowing our health club membership is going to waste, and feeling like I should do something about my elevated blood pressure, I finally started to attend an exercise class.  It&#8217;s this dance-style class that feels like a mix of aerobics, tae bo, and going to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bloomingjoy.wordpress.com&blog=4200102&post=230&subd=bloomingjoy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
