Hello World!
Ok, I’ve been fooling around with this weblog for 2-3 weeks now. It’s kind of like when I can’t start working in my office or start a new project until my desk or room is cleaned up - which usually usurps the whole deal… Well, the kinks on the page will have to get worked out as I go…
This is my blog! Wow. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I love to write. When I was a kid, I was the “18-page girl who just wouldn’t shut up”. Unfortunately, few, if anybody, wanted to read those 18 (million) pages. But now I can write for the whole world! So it’s kind of like therapy to my inner child to be bloggin’ - I finally have a captive audience (or at least I can imagine that I do). I hope it blesses everyone who stops by. And I promise not to write 18 million pages (in one post).
A little bit more about myself:
My name is Patsy. Age wise, I’m at the point when the Israelites reached the Promised Land. I hope that has some significance in my life. I’m a single mom of 3 kids ages 5 to 11 6-12. I’ll probably write a lot about that because often I react as though the situation is meant to kill me. However, I am seeing now that God is using that whole crucible to show me who He really is and what it means to be His daughter. Go figure…
I work as a writing tutor and editor and I homeschool my kids, all of which I absolutely love. That whole story totally blows people’s socks off, but I will have to put that in another post so I don’t break my promise above.
I live in Minnesota and worship with a precious community called bluer, a Vineyard church. My favorite season is fall and I must say, Minnesota had a darn good one this year! Besides writing, I most enjoy watercolor painting, reading, talking with God, and encouraging others as we journey to the heart of the Unseen Real.

Hey, I was at the 2005 PCM with you! Don’t think we met, though (out of 700 people, how did we miss each other?). Peace to you.

It is a small world after all - even in cyberspace!
I’m still digesting everything I learned. It truly was a special opportunity.
Thanks for saying “Hello”.

Do you have links with the lovely little town in India incidentally called Darjeeling?

Actually, my links to darjeeling are much less enchanting or exotic than that. Ultimately it comes from Buzz Lightyear’s traumatic reaction to the fact that he couldn’t really fly in the movie Toy Story. It also results from the yummy tea, “Afternoon Darjeeling”, that I found at my local Thriftway. But now, maybe someday, I’ll have to travel to India!
