I've got one. Post something with substance, don't resort to angst or use the blog spefically for venting. It's a Christian blog in the Ministry section, so by all means, post something edifying once in awhile. :D

I post something edifying every once in a while.

Just not every while.

Can I add something?
-Try not to ramble on and on for pages, and pages...like someone I used to know. :sorry:

It's easier to read that way. :)

Woohoo! We're almost at the 10 mark. :D

I copied a blog entry from Rod Dreher's blog called 'The spider and the chotki', it's a very good read if anyone would be interested in that.


Excerpt:
One night I had a dream. In the dream, Julie and I were walking away from a country house (Weyanoke, in fact, from "Crunchy Cons" -- the house I most love in the world) near my hometown, down a gravel driveway, when we were about to pass through the gates. Something caught my eye. There was a bare thorn bush, and on the thorn bush a white mass. It looked like a mound of cobwebs. I stopped to pull the cobwebs off, and drew back in horror. The webs covered my chotki, which is a knotted prayer rope used by Eastern Christians (both Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic) to pray the Jesus Prayer (here, from a Byzantine Catholic parish website, is a good explanation of the Jesus Prayer and its role in Eastern Christian spirituality). A few years earlier (in real life), an Orthodox friend had given me a chotki that had been knotted by an Orthodox monk he knew. I was a devotee of the Rosary, but thanked my friend for the chotki all the same. I never prayed it, though.

Anyway, in the dream, I observed that a spider had unknotted each of the hundred or so extremely tight knots on my chotki. The entire strand was held together by a single thread. I was so shocked by this that I awoke with a start, as if out of a nightmare...
