It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Myspace Surprises

Today a lady from our Thursday morning Bible study group told me she has joined Myspace. Like me, she is past 60. Last night I found another granddaughter who had a space. And this afternoon, I got an e-mail from a daughter-in-law saying she, too, was on Myspace.

Since joining Myspace with very little idea what I would actually DO with my space and time there, I have found several of my grandchildren and friends have spaces, and I have been amazed at the fun I'm having with it. It is a great networking tool and talk about a way to spread Jesus' love... Myspace works wonderfully well.

What was seemingly aimed at youth has become a venue for mixing up the generations. When I visit the spaces of older members, I see plenty of young faces in their friends sections, just as I note many younger Myspacers have friends who are middle to old agers.

No, this isn't an ad for my space at
http://myspace.com/ionaruth nor a suggestion that you join the fun. This is simply the musing of a grandma who has found a cool new way to communicate with her grandkids, make new friends of all ages and be a witness for the Savior.

Oh, and by the way, did I mention it was my pastor (who is no teenager) who introduced me to Myspace? Why not visit his space?

Off Topic: My husband just announced, "I don't waste my money on clothes. You've got enough clothes for both of us." The man is warped, not to mention totally out of touch. He also is wearing 12-year old shirts that look their age.

What man doesn't wear clothes way past their time? I don't know of a single one. The last time James got rid of a old shirt was when it had 3 very visible holes that I kept complaining about. It's like you have to rip them from their kung fu death grip just to throw them away. It's just annoying.
