Whooooo.... (Hyper)

I drank coffee and now I'm hyper. And also celebrating my first comment! Excitement! I think my word for Pan's Labyrinth at the moment is haunting; I can't remember if that was in the comment or not, so if it is, it's your idea, and if it's not, it's mine. I'm loving it more and more as I think about it over the days.

I found another verse about the Lord sustaining me:
" Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous be shaken."
Psalm 55: 22 TNIV (for those who might guess, yes, I am reading through Psalms.)

And I was wrong, yesterday. (This is not about the fishie.) I need God for more than eight o'clock lectures: I need him to sustain me in my worship of him; not just singing words without even thinking about them, but in daily meditation on his Word, in giving time and money (if I ever manage to tithe faithfully, we'll all know that's God, because I suck at it) and sharing the Gospel. Not trying to preach; just sharing what I'm rejoicing in. Because I can't do it alone. Because I don't have to.

Praise the Lord.

Beginnings

So. I've not had huge amounts of success with blogging before (I'm too lazy) but let's see how I go.

Anyway, what to expect: a catalogue of madnesses, things I fall passionately in love with in the short term and the long term, and possibly some not-madnesses.

Basically so my family can experience my self-obsession, even over long distances. Tee-hee-hee.

Today's new obsessions:

• Pan's Labyrinth (that movie in Spanish): very shiny if a little brutal in parts. Reminds me very much of MirrorMask in that they're both really Alice stories. Which is a good thing; I love Alice, especially Through the Looking Glass.
  
• Environmental art: not just for hippies. This is for a uni thing. Imagine, a uni thing that's actually fun! I think my head exploded from joy during the first tute. I especially love:

Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979-2005

Carlotta Brunetti: Floating Clouds

• Louie Giglio's The Air I Breathe: I read it on the train today, and it is a wonderful book for if you are feeling, through busyness or fatigue or whatever, a bit 'meh' about God. I've been smiling all day, and it made me want to go and read Psalms.
