thoughts on the news of the day: 250

hmmm…..

            Today marks 250 “hmmm…..”s   That’s a big accomplishment for me!  I am not sure how I have managed to get up early every single day for 250 days and compose my thoughts in such a way that they make sense, but I have.

            The blog came about because I prayed.  I asked God to give me something to write – an idea or a theme – a column or maybe a book.  I wanted to put my writing skills to work.  The next morning I woke up and went to my computer and there it was – the news of the day!  It occurred to me that I could write something very brief – say 250 words – on whatever topic appeared on my screen.  It has since been expanded to searching for a news item from several online news sources.  Very rarely has it taken long to discern a topic and build on it; I try for spiritual principles that are reflected in the stories of the day.

            I have had many positive comments on my blog – and one critic from California who doesn’t like anything I write.  He gets prayed for when his comments come – that love and joy and light would enter into his life.  That he would find peace.

            My goal now is to write 365 daily blogs – a whole year’s worth – blogs that are short and to the point and hopefully inspirational.  And since you are reading this blog, thank you so much for your attention and your support.  God bless all my readers!
