I
ponder about my Blabberings a lot. I wonder if it’s good writing or just good
fun. Good fun is good enough; but good writing is even better: the icing on the
cake, the cherry on top, the cat’s pajamas.
Maybe
it is good writing, but so what? What can I do with it? Could I earn any money?
Abby craves a trip to Europe. Emma wants a big ole wedding one day. Phillip
needs a car on June 2, 2014 (First World need,
noted).
I
think best when I’m in the bathtub (My sister, Angie, will call and say, “I
need some advice. Have you bathed yet today?"), so I took a
shower. I heard the Holy Spirit whisper, “Contact Laurel Griffith.”
“Who?”
“You
heard me.”
“Say
it again, just so I can make sure I heard correctly.”
“Laurel
(pause) Griffith.” (He kinda enunciated the consonants.)
“The
Sunday school teacher?”
“Yup.”
(Sometimes God says, “Yup” to me when I’m acting a tad hard headed.)
“Lord,
I like her and all, but . . . .”
“Mercy,
you do go on.”
“So
I’ve been told.”
“Send
her a Facebook message.”
“You
know about Facebook?”
“Stop
talking now, Celeste.”
So,
I got out of the tub, wrapped a towel around my head and another around my
torso and headed to the Facebook.
I
saw my fingers type this:
Hey—
I want to pick
your busy brain for a second, as I like to do.
Do you have any
idea what I can do with this ability to ramble that I have? I have been having
a blast with my Blabberings blog, and if that's all that I do, that's great.
But I need to earn some money, and I need to figure out what the next stage of
my life is going to be.
Do you have any
suggestions? (Feel free to say "No" or "Go away, Celeste.")
I thought of you because you have always written and often see things others
don't see . . . and because you published a magazine and a book that I can't
wait to get my hands on.
Ever the pest,
Celeste
I’m
sure I won’t hear anything back from her. She’s busy blogging and preparing her
lesson for Sunday.
