The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Wednesday Weekly

Anyone remember the old "Weekly Reader" from grade school days?

I'm thinking of trying something new here, called "Wednesday Weekly".
So far, I'm still trying to decide what it would be:

1. A weekly favorite picture
2. A weekly complaint / pet peeve
3. A weekly update on what's going on in my little world
4. A weekly devotional
5. A weekly joke or funny story/anecdote
6. A weekly favorite something I've read somewhere
7. A weekly prayer request
8. A weekly goof-up report
9. A weekly _____________________________________(?)

Got any suggestions? Tell me your preference in the above list or suggest something else.

On a side-note, as I looked back at my original blog ("Rascal Jack Stew"), I saw that one year ago today, this is what I posted:



P.S. While I was waiting for your suggestions, I came up with a way to use all of the above ideas, but I'd still love to hear your suggestions. Thanks!

Oh I thought of another one.
A Weekly Cleanup Report

It could mean whatever you need it to mean.Whatever you feel needs to be cleaned up.

I like Dianne's idea, maybe used as a follow-up to a weekly devotianal and prayer request. And by the way, I do vaguely remember the weekly reader, it was social studies stuff, wasn't it?

How about something that could change with your week but still be the most memorable thing in your past week...ie. special weekly memory. It could cover most any of the mentioned areas, but I agree on trying to keep it positive if possible.

I would say a weekly prayer request would be cool as well as a weekly posting of goof ups and jokes and such and I am not sure what else.

Thanks to all of you for your input! And, to my nephew, Dan -- a warm welcome to you! This is the first time I've "seen" you here. I've been noticing your comments on other family blogs as well -- how nice to have your comments!

Agreement with Dianne:
No "pet peeve" of the week.

I'll sorta be like the "frog"
and just "blend" in??
