I've got the app

I have the iPod Touch--essentially the iPhone without the phone, and I do like my apps.  I just downloaded one today called "Note to God."  I thought to myself, it'd be good every once in a while as a reminder to say "hey" to the Big Guy every once in a while.

So I downloaded it, and decided I'd see what the format might be to write a note.

Dear heaven.  I never thought....well, it is very heartening and a very deeply emotional thing to read people's notes to God.  I am reminded of the Psalms, where the songs range from a despairing cry of the soul to joyous praise, from bargaining and promises to selfless giving.  There is every human emotion here.  And reading them, I know I'm very blessed indeed.

All I can say is God bless Allen Wright for submitting this app idea to the Medl Mobile Co, so that people could pray this way if they felt they couldn't any other way.  This is really yet another way to pray, and to have one's concerns lifted up and prayed for by others.

New Blog

So....I decided to create another blog called "Playing with Words," which will feature anything I decide to write that has to do with writing and publishing. I will probably transfer my writing entries from this blog to that one, just to have all my writing-related stuff in one place. That'll be my "official" blog, rather than the informal one I have here at the Pollyanna Files. I'll continue to write what I feel like here, but it'll be more about my travels (oh, yeah, I'm going to relocate to Germany next year--did I forget to mention that? If I did forget, more on that later), knitting/fiber arts, and foodie stuff. If you want to relax, read, and chat here, you're more than welcome. If you want to stick to writing- and publishing-related topics, go to "Playing with Words." Writing and publishing questions can be asked over there.

There now! I feel so organized....
