Hey hey ya'll.
Oh boy. Went to a 'christian writers' meeting tonight. I am way out of my league. I don't think christian satire, or off the wall humour[not dirty] by a non serious peanut like myself is going to find shelter in the christian writer's community. A good portion of the group are PHD. professors of English and are like light years ahead of me academically and intellectually. [I had to look alliteration up when I got home. ] At least I know how to use a dictionary. Actually I am honored to be among them and will learn a lot if I can keep my mouth shut and try not to be 'The Entertainer'. See, narcissism keeps crowding its way back onto center stage.
I think a couple of the ladies need someone to love them, accept them and simply enjoy their company. I can do that. I will begin to add them into my circle of concern in prayer. Their needs and burdens will come to be a bit of my responsibility. Peanut accepts the Mission, Lord. I will speak of what YOU have done and do at every opportunity as well. Is it a deal? Can I be nicely satirical,self-deprecatingly humurous ,and a wee bit loud? I won't be rude. Or is that already rude? I just hate boring,and taking oneself too seriously,but will try hard not to overlay that onto someone else. Slap a little bit of that around on myself is ok though,right?
Alrighty then, Lord,
Love Ya'.
I will just be me and let them be them and YOU be the great and mighty YOU.

Hi Peanut,

I am both amazed and entertained! I didn't know you were so adept at putting your humorous wit into print. As I read it, it "sounds" just like you. I can close my eyes and imagine we are in the same room, and I am hearing you share your earthy, transparent, true self. The way you do it flows so naturally. . . not forced in any way. One of these days I expect to have an autographed copy of one of your books on my coffee table.

I look forward to your posts.
