Ash Wednesday and Applesauce

So what are you giving up for Lent? Tonight Josh and I are going to Ash Wednesday services--the first time for both of us, I believe. I imagine, growing up Presbyterian, that I probably have participated in an Ash Wednesday service but I don't remember.

I have offered a link to the right under "Links I Love" to my pastor's blog. We are getting ready to do a series on death, dying, and the afterlife which coincides with the celebration of the Lenten season.

I feel very lucky that Josh and I found a church for our family that includes many wonderful, diverse, and humble people. I stopped going to church for several years for reasons that were necessary for me, at the time. I'm finding my way back after lots of doubts, uncertainties, and disappointments with the Christian church. I am glad though, (so very, very glad), that we landed right where we did--in this wonderful community of people who challenge us to think, question, and support each other.

And on an entirely different, random note...Harper is a barrel full of cuteness all the time. The other night she was rolling around on the floor after a long day at school, and an intense coloring session on our living room floor. After a bit of playing she said, "my legs huuuurrrrt." Josh asked her why and she said in a whiney, strained voice, "too much criss cross applesauce!"

These are the things I need to remember for later. Probably more funny for me than anyone else, but I love that little girl!

Twitter. Holla!

I just joined the world of Twitter. Did you know that there are now professional seminars dedicated to Twitter? Namely, how to use Twitter to boost your business? Every professional organization I belong to has luncheons, lectures, and roundtables solely focused on Twitter, Facebook, and blogging. So if you'll look to the right, I've included my Twitter feed.

Sometimes I feel old as dirt and sometimes I feel right like a 13-year-old tech nerd. So I'm going to be tweeting on the latest Joshua Best Studio business news, professional topics of interest, and whatever interesting tidbits I find. And you can be privy to these musings right as they pop out of my head and onto my keyboard! Exciting! Riveting! Narcissistic!

Enjoy.
