Friendship is Born of…Blogging?

By shauna Leave a Comment


“Friendship is born at that moment when one
person says to another:
What! You too? I thought I was the only
one.”
~ C.S. Lewis
The quotable Lewis summarizes what has been fleshed this blogosphere and in real life conversations with my real (as opposed
to virtual) friends. I have been delighted by every comment and conversation!
It only fans the writing flame inside me.
Following is a list of moments when friendships have
been born or nurtured, where you and I have said to one another, “What! You
too? I thought I was the only one.”
Microeconomics: A case study in risk and resource management
I discovered my friends have served unrefrigerated shredded
cheese not only to family, but also a multitude of guests; packed the same
cheese stick in a school lunch for three days in a row; strengthened stomach
and immune system by serving pot roast left on the counter over night; and
eaten spinach AFTER the expiration
date on the package! *Gasp*
Flying in the face of the FDA regulations, each of these
offenses resulted in…no sickness.
(I’m not recommending this, I’m just saying it’s happened to
the best of us : )
Conservation Confession
It turns out most everyone wears clothes more than once
without washing in between. One true rebel against excess laundry even requires
her kids to abide by the same policy.
Parental Prescription
One dear friend, who is a much better parent than I, said
she has also drowned out the dinnertime clamor with medicinal music blasting
from her ear buds. She claims to know others who have as well. Reveal
yourselves at once, I say! Let us all be friends!
Time Saving Tidbit
So far my mother is the only one who has confessed to using
the time saving spot-mopping method. It occurred to me I probably learned it
from her and should give credit where credit is due.
A Stroke of Genius
Sometimes we need the assistance of our upper elementary
aged children to figure out how to double or halve the fractions in our recipes
or to preset the radio stations in the vehicle.
Dearly Departed
Most of us have learned never to say never when it comes to
using electronic devices as “babysitters.” Judge not, lest ye be judged!
Knock Before Entering
Not surprisingly, no one has admitted to bleaching in the
buff…but, I know you’re out there. Perhaps you haven’t had the chance to try it
yet.
Thanks for reading, my friends. I adore every conversation,
comment and “facebook like.”
Thanks for giving me permission to be real!
Your comments and
confessions make me giddy!

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
