My Readers, My Heros

That's right, my readers are my heros. Family members, face-to-face and on-line friends, strangers, fans and detractors, church goers and atheists, more readers than I might have imagined for my noncategorized ramblings... God has taken these words that are not particularly special and caused them to touch lives.

People write, some comment openly, but most use private e-mails, and open up to me in ways I can't explain. They encourage me... even the ones who disagree with what I've said. I learn a lot from my readers and treasure each communication.

I didn't set out to write for any group or person, but just to write, to lend some continuity to my life. It was a private journal and I alone benefitted from it. Then I was asked to do a blog. Pastor Rob thus led me into blogging and later onto a Myspace page. Daughter Athena opened the Live Journal door for me and I fell into the Yahoo thing all by myself.

When Richard gets here next week end, he'll help me set up my office. Then I hope to be able to get back into the swing of things. Right now, the so-called office is piled high with boxes and too much furniture. I can't even find my printer so bought one of these tiny little ones with the cute $29 price tag!
