Welcome to Life in the Cereal Bowl! Why the Cereal Bowl? Because Life is full to the brim with Fruits, Nuts, and Flakes, that's why! If you must know, I'm a nut. If you're a stranger (and you can't be much stranger than I am), that's Ms. Nut to you!
This blog is mine. These are my thoughts, my opinions, my beliefs. You are welcome to argue, disbelieve, disagree, or in general think that I am nuts. However, unless you can present some well thought-out arguments, please understand that you are not likely to change my opinions or my beliefs. If you decide to comment, and I do welcome comments, you hereby agree that you are therefore entering into a discussion and that I will at all times reserve the right to respectfully reply.
If you're curious about who I am, here are the basic facts: I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. I was raised in Denton, Texas. I married at 18 and am still married to the same man nearly 14 years later. I have a 12 year old son. I have an associates degree in elementary education. I have worked as a secretary for a lot of my life, including a sales secretary for 5 years and a marketing assistant for the past 8 months. I live in Lewisville, Texas and have lived here for the past year and a half.
I have not previously been politically active, but I am beginning to change that. I did not always think my opinion mattered and so I did not voice it with my vote. I have since come to realize that my silence is taken as permission both in the political arena and in human interactions. I have decided that I have been silent long enough on too many fronts. I have unique experiences, insights, and understandings that need to be shared that others might benefit from them.
If you're still here, welcome. Strap yourself on in and be prepared!

Wow! I posted that almost a year ago! I am trying to pull your name up and cannot figure if I know you! Sorry! If not, how in the world did you come across my blog with a posting a year ago? I am not supposed to be blogging right now since I am staying away due to Lent, but a new name on my blog makes me feel rude not responding! I see you are new to blogspot! It is a lot of fun!
Joyce -
I did a google search for "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?" and your blog came up. When I read your post, I knew that you needed the encouragement that I felt when I realized why Jesus spoke those words and what His real meaning was. His words had once troubled me as much as they did you, until I realized He wasn't despairing, He was praying! It was a reminder to me that in my darkest hour that's exactly what I need to be doing as well - praying my way through it.
I would challenge you that rather than giving up blogging for Lent, change your focus. Don't blog for yourself, blog for others. There is more power to save souls in the testimony of one honest witness than there is in a thousand "feel good" witness stories. It's those of us who are willing to admit our failings who give courage to others who fail, and remind them that when they fall (and who doesn't?) it's not important that they fell - it's important that they get up and take up the cross again!
