My #life At This Moment I love my new job!!! But, dear followers, it means I have less time to devote to my writing. I hope though that by the first of next year, when I have a better grasp on what I'm doing, I will be able to continue my current story. And perhaps start some new ones. So to those of you who are following me and have seen nothing new in a LONG time, thank for your patience & loyalty. I shall do my best to reward that soon!

Random Thoughts I strongly dislike being a perfectionist at times..... It really hampers my writing. Everything has to be "Just So" before I even think of writing it down, let alone letting someone else see my work. But sometimes, one simply has to write down the little bit of a story they have at the moment and hope it goes with the rest of the story that comes after. God isn't like that though. Unlike us mortals, He sees the WHOLE picture. Beginning, Middle, and End. He knows all the little possibilities that go with every little decision each of us make. Since I know that He knows ALL the details, I find it easier to trust Him with my #life, and my Future. Who have You trusted with your #life and Future?

My Avengers Story Part 2 After a few moments of just sitting and staring at the ground while trying to make sense of what just happened, Kate finally got up and brushed the dirt from her hands and jeans. Once she glanced around the immediate area, she quickly wished she hadn't stood up. Standing directly in front of her just a couple yards away was a large, gray skinned, metal covered monster. She remembered seeing them in a movie once back home. An alien race known as the Chitauri. Just as she was starting to crouch back down into the tall grass and back away, the monster/alien turned and looked straight at her. It let out a horrible screech and pointed a big metal weapon at her and motioned for her to stay put or it would blast her. In seconds she was surrounded by half a dozen of the creatures, all screeching at one another and motioning to her. As they carried on their "conversation" Kate studied her captors. They were all at least 6 1/2 feet tall when standing straight. They were also covered in armor made from a type of metal she didn't recognize. Her captors also appeared to communicate exclusively through shrieks, grunts, growls, and the occasional hiss. The aliens finally seemed to come to an agreement about what to do with her, and thankfully, it didn't seem to involve blasting or eating her. They tightened their circle around her and started marching, pushing Kate along with them. She almost had to run to keep up with them. After jogging for what seemed like an hour, but was probably just a few minutes, they finally came within sight of a huge, black, oblong ship. The Chitauri didn't stop or say hello to the guards at the front door, they just kept on marching deeper into the sparsely lit interior of the ship.

My Avengers Story Part 1 The day started out like any other day, and Kate was taking a walk around her neighborhood. Out of all the options for getting exercise that were open to her, she liked walking the best. One moment she was striding along, absorbed in her thoughts. The next, she was plunging down into a black hole. Bright lights flashed around her. She could feel electrical currents racing over her body, but strangely, it didn't hurt. After what could have been mere seconds or few hours, she couldn't tell which, she landed on her hands and knees in a thick patch of grass.

Food For Thought If thoughts about other people were food, would you be starved, full, or somewhere in between?
