This is my 41st post on ROR! That is how I will be abreviating the blog name. :) Yes, clever, I know. :) lol Anyway, I am really getting excited about seeing the number of blogs I've written rise. I see progress! :) Today was a good day for the most part, but I have some more work to do at Ms. Cherry's office after church tonight, weather permitting.
I saw some sleet today on my way home from work, but it did not last long. It is cold enough to stick if we do get any accumilation. It is pretty chilly! I wish I could tell you the temp, but my KLSA weather thingy is not working anymore, and I refuse to put weather bug on my computer. So I have no current temp to relay to you at this time. I doubt if we have gotten above 40 today, if that helps any. :)
I wish I had some exciting tid-bit to share today, but I really don't. Except for the fact that this is my 41st blog. :) I don't guess I should hit you with too much excitment. The 41st blog alone is probably plenty to shout about! lol I have a lot of work to do, and not enough time to do it. I am tempted to skip church tonight; but nope, God first. I will go tonight, if the roads permit. Well, I better get off of here for now.
Love ya bunches!

Saturday
I know you are wondering how I ever came up with such a brilliant title as the day of the week that I am posting. lol Yeah, I know...Anyway, today has been pretty good. I have been able to actually get back to writing on the play, which really blesses me. I have some things to finish for the church newsletter though, and I have not worked on those at all. I have to pray alot about it, because all the inspiration I had for the stories seems to have gone elsewhere. I am sure the stories are there, I just need to spend some extra time with Daddy God to prime the pump, so to speak. There is a little girl standing beside me, asking me if I am almost finished every few minutes. Now she is asking me to erase the sentence eluding to her. lol Now she is threatening not to be my friend. She is a really cute kid though. I know she loves me. I love her too. :) So anyway, as you can tell, I am feeling the pressure not to be longwinded with this entry. I quess I will write more later.
God Bless and Goodnight!
Everyone have a great time at church tomorrow!

Good Word!
This is from The Message Bible.
Heb 12:1:
Do you see what this means--all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running--and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins.
Heb 12:2:
Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed--that exhilarating finish in and with God--he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.
Heb 12:3:
When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
Heb 12:4:
In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through--all that bloodshed!
Heb 12:5:
So don't feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you forgotten how good parents treat children, and that God regards you as his children? My dear child, don't shrug off God's discipline, but don't be crushed by it either.
Heb 12:6:
It's the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects.
Heb 12:7:
God is educating you; that's why you must never drop out. He's treating you as dear children. This trouble you're in isn't punishment; it's training,
Heb 12:8:
the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God?
Heb 12:9:
We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God's training so we can truly live?
Heb 12:10:
While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God's holy best.
Heb 12:11:
At the time, discipline isn't much fun. It always feels like it's going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it's the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.
Heb 12:12:
So don't sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet!
Heb 12:13:
Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!
Heb 12:14:
Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you'll never get so much as a glimpse of God.
Heb 12:15:
Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.
Heb 12:16:
Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God's lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.
Heb 12:17:
You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God's blessing--but by then it was too late, tears or no tears.
Heb 12:18:
Unlike your ancestors, you didn't come to Mount Sinai--all that volcanic blaze and earthshaking rumble--
Heb 12:19:
to hear God speak. The earsplitting words and soul-shaking message terrified them and they begged him to stop.
Heb 12:20:
When they heard the words--"If an animal touches the Mountain, it's as good as dead"--they were afraid to move.
Heb 12:21:
Even Moses was terrified.
Heb 12:22:
No, that's not your experience at all. You've come to Mount Zion, the city where the living God resides. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive angels
Heb 12:23:
and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is Judge, with judgments that make us just.
Heb 12:24:
You've come to Jesus, who presents us with a new covenant, a fresh charter from God. He is the Mediator of this covenant. The murder of Jesus, unlike Abel's--a homicide that cried out for vengeance--became a proclamation of grace.
Heb 12:25:
So don't turn a deaf ear to these gracious words. If those who ignored earthly warnings didn't get away with it, what will happen to us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings?
Powerful stuff. :)
Love ya,
Roz

The Late Night Posting...
Sounds like the title of a scary story, huh? lol Anyway, it is really late, and I am blogging just because I wanna. I watch Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea tonight. We started watching around 5:30 and stopped around 1:30 AM. Needless to say, I did not get any writing done so far today. Unless you count this. Actually this can't count for two good reasons. One the today I was referring to was Sunday, and at 2:28 AM, it is now Monday. Two, this writing is just for the benefit of me and the people who enjoy reading my ramblings. Real writing would constitute finishing another article for the paper or another scene of the play. No I am not finished, which is laughable because I have all but written the rest of the play in my head. I simply have not found the time to stop and write it down. Yeah... I know... I really should have finished it by now. I will do better.
In other news, one of my dearest friends just wrote me that she is about to have a baby. :) I am so excited. I want to write her back, but I won't until tomorrow night probably. :)
Anyway, church was awesome today. It seemed like every song during praise and worship ministered to me. It was like God spent the whole morning kissing me and telling me over and over again that He is mightier than any fiery dart of the enemy. :) The sermon was awesome too. I can tell that God is working in me, because I went through the majority of the day not dwelling on the thing that happened last night. The upset...yeah I know...but that is about all that I am willing to say about it. Anyway, it did not consume my thoughts today. Instead the thoughts that consumed me were: I love God and I love. I am serious, during church today the enemy tried to get me to thinking negatively again about this current ordeal, and before I knew it, I stopped the thoughts with a simple whisper: I love. I want to write more about this, but not tonight. I need to be sensible. :) I really need to get some sleep.
Goodnight and God bless
In Christ,
Roz

He surely goes before me...
Believe it or not, I tried hard to get this entry in on Friday night, but I wanted to include a mp3 of the new song that God gave me. It took me forever to get that done, so I did not get it posted. I do think it is funny that this song is the very thing that I need to hear right now. I had a bit of a upset earlier tonight (yesterday really, it is almost 4 AM. Lord help me at church in the morning. Anyway, as I was sitting and listening to Pastor on Wednesday night this song came up in my spirit.
I don't have to worry
'bout what tomorrow will bring.
I won't have anxiety
'cause I know Christ is King
You see my father sees me
And He knows what I need
His provision is perfect
And from His table I'll feed.
All I have is the chorus so far, although I think after tonight, I will surely be hearing a verse or two shortly. :) I love God! I love people too. I hate principalities with a passion, but if its war they want I am more than ready to fight. :) Anyway, if you click on the first line you can hear the tune of the song. That is how I heard it in spirit. I really need to finish ironing so that I can go to sleep. So I will write more later.
Yeah, I know. :)
Love in Christ
Roz
PS. Jen you made me smile tonight (your message on the myspace blog) when I really needed it. You are an awesome friend. :) Love ya, bunches!

First Post of the New Year
Okay, this is my first 2007 post, and only 11 days into the New Year. Not so bad, huh? Anyway, tonight I have a meeting at the church. I don't think it will last all that long though. After the meeting, I will be going over to my friend, Ms. Cherry's house. I am helping her with her hair tonight. What? Of course I think you are interested in my schedule, why else would I bother enlightening you. lol :)
Anyway, here is a scholarship update. I found three more that I want to apply for. One of them is a "pay everything and pay you to study" scholarship. I really want that one. This is the year of total prosperity and the open door! So I say it's mine. :)
A happy Note: I tried on one of my favorite suits, and I can still wear it. (applause pause)I think it is too short for my church's current dress code though. Ironically, I think it is long enough for ORU's current dress code (1 1/4 inch above the middle of the knee). (So long as I sit down very carefully.) So I think I will be saving that one for college. Hopefully I will loose some more weight before August.
Which brings me to another thing to mention. I am going to join a gym. I am excited about it. I want to take some toning and Karate classes. That will be fun. :) I don't think I can wear my karate suit anymore though. I think I will do the toning and maybe some kick boxing until I can. Kickboxing sounds like fun to me. :) I would do pilates, but they said pilates/yoga, and I am not interested in Yoga.
I finished reading one of my Christmas novels a couple of weeks ago. It was Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti's novel: House. There has already been a movie made about the book. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Overall it had the same premise as The Oath by Frank Peretti, but I liked The Oath a lot better than this book. It was very well done though. I was sufficiently suspensified. lol I made that up all by myself.
I should be able to come very close to actually finishing the play this weekend. I am really excited about that. I am going to get it typed up as soon as possible, I still may be able to cast before the month is out. The first half of the play is awesome. I love the last scene a whole lot. It is cool :) I can't wait to get it cast so that I can see it performed. :)
This weekend I hope to get a chance to record the first episode of my web show: The Paper Mouth Twins. :) I wrote it a while ago, but I have not had a chance to record it. When I do this one is definately going on You Tube! :) I may post it from You Tube to hear too. For my interested fans who don't go to You Tube. :)
That is all for now. More later. Yeah I know...
Much Love,
Roz
