Would be to win all these cds. Shannon @ Rocks In My Dryer is hosting a giveaway sponsored by WOW Online. They make compilation cds of all the best contemporary Christian music around. If I won these cds, I’d only be able to play them on my MP3 player or jam to them when Duck’s at work. Go sign up if you’re a blogger and be sure to follow the rules. Shannon’s got 20 sets of cds to giveaway. Amazing!
Welcome to MommyFest & a Giveaway
By on May 12, 2008
MommyFest has begun! Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Pull up a seat. I’ll grab you a nice, cold Coke while you hook up your laptop to the free wireless here. I don’t usually talk a lot, so I hope it will not seem rude for me to instant message you while you’re in my living room. I know it’s a bad habit. My hubby says I’m having an affair with my laptop, but honestly, it’s not all that great of a laptop.
Feel free to look around. Watch out for the laundry room. I am the Queen of Shrink and I’d hate for you to get lost in there. I just had a birthday last week and I’m going to be celebrating it for a few more weeks. I like to stretch things out as long as possible. I love to play softball and ride my motorcycle. I just got my motorcycle license in March, so I haven’t been riding long. God made me weird, but people are learning to deal with it.
That’s enough about me 
Tell me something about you. Coke or Pepsi? Beach or Mountains?
Check out the Mr. Linky and visit other mom blogs. You might find some new friends or win something in the giveaways.
I am giving away a copy of Mary Beth Whalen’s “For the Write Reason” on my other blog, simply His blogger. Go to the post “What are your questions?” and leave a comment to be entered.
Special Announcement & Giveaway
By on April 25, 2008
Perhaps I should have planned this out more, but the cat’s out of the bag now!
Sunday, April 27th is Internet Evangelism Day. You may be asking yourself what is internet evangelism? Well, it’s sharing your Christian faith online. See, this is something very special to me as I answered questions for one of my online buddies last year. We’d known each other online for about 3 years — even worked together in the virtual assistant industry. She had questions about the Bible, God, Jesus and life in general and I did my best to answer them (which isn’t all that great but I was honest and prayed for her a lot!). On February 15, 2007, my buddy gave her heart and life to Jesus.
My own personal journey has been going on since July 7, 1996. This is the first time I have been on this end of the spiritual work God did on someone’s heart. The first time I actually shared my thoughts and faith with someone and was here when they made the decision to follow Jesus. I’m no fool. I know God was using many others in my friend’s life to work on her heart and mind. But me? Honestly I have always been busy in church — probably “preaching to the choir” so to speak. I’m sure that what I’ve said or how I’ve lived my life before has planted seeds in people watching me, but I’ve never gotten to see or be apart of the joy like I have been able to experience with my friend.
Even knowing my buddy online would have never been possible without the Internet. For all the bad things out there on the Internet, there are a lot of good things as well. There are hundreds if not thousands of blogs written by Christian women sharing their news about faith and family. Many people read those blogs and never comment. You may never know they are there — but when we get to Heaven, someone may walk up to you and say “I read such-and-such on your blog and I started seeking God. You’re one of the reasons I’m here.” Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Ok, on to my special announcement and giveaway news. I know many of you may consider yourself technically-challenged. My brain is filled with tons of technical things especially about blogs, WordPress and code. I have prayed for years to find my purpose in life, what God would have me do, and I’m still growing and learning. One thing I know I can do is to offer you tips, tricks and help with blogging. I want you to be able to blog — to share your faith with others online. Even if you only touch one person for God, that would so totally be worth it, right?
In honor of Internet Evangelism Day, I have started another blog — simply His blogger. I’m going to share how-to’s, tips and tricks you can use on your blog. But I’m also going to share information with you on how you can use your blog to share stories of your faith. I’ll be interviewing other bloggers who share their faith and get tips from them that will help you.
During the next week and a half, I’m taking comments over at simply His blogger. To celebrate my birthday and the launch of this new blog, I’m giving away a blog package. Whether you have a blog already or not, I’ll get you setup on your own domain, using WordPress.org (which is even better than WordPress.com), and give you some personal training to get you started. If you have a blog, I’ll transfer everything over so you don’t lose what you’ve already started.
Head on over to simply His blogger. Leave a comment to enter the giveaway. Vote in the poll. Send me your questions through the contact form. Let’s get started impacting the Internet with some good stuff!
Meanest Mom?
By on October 16, 2007
Heather @ Moms Blogging is also holding a Meanest Mom contest. I have been accused of being the meanest mom so many times I can’t even come up with a good one right now. I’m sure I’ll be accused of it again in the next few days, so then I’ll enter.
I wonder though … Can I nominate my mom? She used to chase my brother around the house and take her flops off — hitting him upside the head. I thought it was hilarious, but I guess it may have been the meanest to my brother 
Again, more cool prizes! Head over there now! And you know what’s super cool? Heather’s mom is going to help judge the contest Outstanding!
Halloween Costume Contest
By on October 16, 2007
My good buddy, Heather (normally @ Desperately Seeking Sanity) has taken over yet another blog — Moms Blogging.com. Yes, she is still trying to find sanity and I very seriously doubt she’s going to find it with all she does! But alas, I’m getting distracted…
Moms Blogging is having a Halloween Costume Contest. I think Heather’s afraid of only having pictures of her, so please head on over there and submit some of your photos. She’s asking for cutest and/or most creative costume — so dig out those photos! She’s even got a few cool prizes!! And really, who can resist free stuff??
Fruit of the Spirit and Passing the Button
By on August 5, 2007
I was caught totally off guard last week by an email from Trish at An Ordinary Life Artist. It seems someone nominated my blog for the Fruit of the Spirit graphic (click on link to find out more about this graphic and to check out other blogs who display it). Here’s a brief description from the web site:
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul wrote about the fruit of the Spirit ~ love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The Fruit of the Spirit graphic was developed in an effort to recognize bloggers whose writings and postings in the blogosphere give us a glimpse of this fruit in their lives.***
I’m very humbled and honored that someone nominated me for this. I truly hope you and others reading this blog are continually blessed by my ramblings here
While I was catching up on Trish’s blog, I notice she linked to Tamara at Training Hearts. Tamara is hosting a big giveaway — yes, another one — She’s got 25 items up for the giving. Check out her post on Passing the Button and sign Mr. Linky for your chance to win
