Monday March 15
9:45 AM is now friends with John Running Wolf
General Interests
Most important is to know my Lord Jesus better and to follow God's leading in my life. To understand and apply Scripture. Reading, genealogy, music, church, health and nutrition, international things, other languages and cultures, nature, traveling, "researching" stuff that interests me, talking with friends, tutoring and sharing stuff. I have a growing interest in writing since I came to Shoutlife.
Music

I have an eclectic taste in musical styles. A lot depends on what my mood is at the time. But I mainly listen to Contmporary Christian music. Tops for me are Keith Green, Michael Card, Twila Paris, Rich Mullins, Wayne Watson. Also Bryan Duncan, Mercy Me, Casting Crowns, Selah, Wes King, Chris Rice, Ceili Rain, Chris Tomlin, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Margaret Becker, Gaither Vocal Band, Clay Crosse, Christine Dente, Jars of Clay, Nicole C. Mullen, Fernando Ortega, and lots of others. I find that God really speaks to me through "inspired" music in a way that just words don't. So I am more interested in the lyrics of a song than in the sound, although my favorite music usually appeals to me in both lyrics and sound. I really love songs that are full of praise and worship, songs that exalt Jesus and God the Father. I like classical stuff like Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovski, Debussy. Still enjoy classic rock and other stuff from the 60's and 70's.
Books
Of course, the Bible. JRR Tolkien, C. S. Lewis,Peretti, Josh McDowell, Max Lucado, Dickens, Mark Twain, Jane Austen.
Recently read and recommend these books: Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground by Frank Creed; Light at the Edge of Darkness (anthology of Spec Fic short stories, ed. by Cynthia MacKinnon), Never Ceese by Sue Dent, The Legend of the Firefish, The Hands that Bears the Sword, Donita K. Paul's Dragonkeeper books, Marylu Tyndall's series The Redemption, The Reliance, The Restitution
.





.
Movies/TV
Usually I want "escape" when I watch a movie, comedies and animated stuff, musicals. My favorite movie is really three, the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is close behind. Loved Lion King, Toy Story, Fantasia (Disney's), Monsters Inc. Pride and Prejudice, Spiderman, Shrek 1 and 2, Nemo, Princess Bride, Sense and Sensibility, most Batman, all Indiana Jones, Sound of Music, West Side Story, Oliver, My Fair Lady, Braveheart, Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, The Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Black Stallion, Tarzan, George of the Jungle, Miracle on 34th St. The Passion, The End of the Spear. Lots of others, but these are just what come to mind right now. As far as TV, I especially like Stargate SG-1 and Monk. Always enjoy Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke, Home Improvement, Bill Cosby.

About Me
I had a standard "About Me" that disappeared with one of the gremlins a few months ago. Since then I have been "undefined."

I've been on Shoutlife for almost two years now, and it has been a lifeline for me. Being somewhat handicapped (though, thankfully, I can still get around some), the computer has become my main way to keep in touch with the world. Shoutlife has been more than the world for me--it has been a spiritual family that God has used in many wonderful ways.

I used to teach French, Spanish, English, and English as a Second Language until I had to leave on disability. I won't go into all that now, but the disabilities have really made me learn to appreciate every little thing so much more than I ever did before. And they have taught me a lot about God's providence. He never fails.

Now I have started reviewing book on a blog as well as here, and I do copy editing. God gave me some incredible connections that started right here at Shoutlife.

The Confession of Saint Patrick   3/16/2010 - 11:08 PM
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! For some that means green beer, pins with the message "kiss me, I'm Irish," jigs, happy Celtic music, and the wearin' o' the green. And what do you think of when you think of Saint Patrick? Ireland, without a doubt. H... (login or sign up to read more)

FORGIVING SEAN by Jessica Adriel   2/11/2010 - 1:52 AM
A teenage pregnancy, baby lost, boyfriend walks away, then pops up again two years later. A romantic triangle. If this sounds like the ingredients of a dozen other romance novels or romantic movies, they are. But it isn't really the same. This tr... (login or sign up to read more)

Hi Cathi!

I'm around, but not really around Shoutlife as much. Mostly puttering around Facebook more.

What's new? I'm not entirely sure if anything is really new, but everything is really good. Busy. Quite busy. But a good kind of busy.

Any books? Yes, actually! I'm not sure when. I actually got it to the publisher in late summer 2008, and I've heard they're finally getting to some more focus on it now. So... fingers crossed about summer '10 release.

And how are you doing?!
Jennifer Lyn King on 2/26/10 - 2:59 AM
Hi Cathi,
Thank you for your message. Sorry I'm getting back to you so late... I'm working on a new book.
As for the term expat, it usually means someone from one country is temporarily living in another country, to do a specific job. That is our case as well. My husband is working for his company here to help set up new operations in their plant here. We plan to be here for about 2 more years. And we're enjoying it very much! Very fun to be able to tour Europe with our boys, and to experience other cultures on a very deep level.
Thank you for your kind words, and for reading my blog.
Blessings to you in Cincinnati!
Love,
Jennifer

BWAHAHAHA! Spending my winter in short sleeves. Haven't touched my winter jacket or gloves. Got a view of palm trees out my window.

Only sad part is next year, we move again.
