New Blog (sort of)

Hello!

Announcing the "new" blog: "JWalking: The Blog"

For almost two decades, I have sent out a family Christmas newsletter under the title JWalking. As with most family newsletters sent out around the holidays, JWalking features the happenings of the family over the course of the year. Folks have enjoyed it; we produce over 100 a year, now. (Taxes our printer every December.)

My blog in this place has needed a major jump-start for a while. (We've gone from moldy to downright rancid!) My pondering has led to the decision to make this a family blog rather than the mixed-up writing blog that it has been for more than two years.

So, if you continue to want to read about happenings at the J household--in the sporadic fashion that things tend to get posted here--this is the blog for you! (Followers, feel free to leave if it's not for you. No offense taken.)

My Bible study blog continues at In-Between Time for those of you who wish to follow me there instead. (We're doing Jonah all summer. Join in any time! We're on the slow boat to Tarshish....)

If I'm led to start another writing venture, I will let you know.

Welcome to "JWalking: The Blog"! A post about this summer's beach trip can't be far behind....

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that
