Generally Suspicious...

I consider myself to be "generally suspicious". I'am especially suspicious of the internet. I'm always thinking as soon as I give any kind of personal information, there is someone just waiting to "use it". I admit I change my dog's name on the internet. How can someone use your dogs name to mess with you, you ask? That's all someone needs to know to hack into your bank account! Isn't it obvious? One minute your ordering a free sample of puppy chow the next minute you're bouncing checks. It could happen! Anyway to the point. I just found out about blogs... Seriously...no clue until a couple of days ago. So my friend tells me about hers. She showed me it and some other really good ones. I'm thinking, that sounds like fun, I have all kinds of goofy things to write about. So she, along with my husband start to encourage me. Than the suspicious sneaks in. I literally decided to do it and not do it 25 times! So I was on the "don't do it, remember the dog and the bank account..it could happen" track when I remembered something. I was doing the dishes when I looked down at my wrist and saw my pink rubber breast cancer bracelet. I gave a dollar to breast cancer research and got a cool bracelet. So I'm doing dishes and I spot the bracelet and I start thinking about my friend Charolette. She lost her battle with breast cancer almost 4 years ago, Ican't believe it has been that long! Anyway for some reason I remembered when another friend of hers came up to me at church one Sunday. She said "Charolette wanted me to tell you how much she enjoyed your sense of humor, when it seemed like there couldn't possibly be anything in her life to laugh about, you made her laugh. She just wanted me to tell you how much that meant to her." So than Proverbs 17:22 came to me, I can't remember the exact words but the general message is that a cheerful heart is good medicine. That's from the bible, I'm not making this up. So to make a long story short, I feel like God was saying, do it. So I'am. I'm gonna share my goofy stories. They really are all true. After awhile you'll think,"this woman has children, that she's responsible for?" God does have a sense of humor.
