Just words

I love words. I love the Bible but days will go by without reading any words from the good book. Should I have named this blog something else? Probably, but being a sometimes reader of the Bible is better than never reading it. I will say when I do pick it up when I am searching for something to satisfy a longing for this questioning mind of mine, I find the experience rewarding.

Unfortunately that does not happen every day. Yet, words are words and the best ones most likely sprung from out of those pages and we pick them up from out of thin air, from off the pages of newspapers, from out of the mouth of our friends and associates.

I will, therefore let the title stand. The first thought is usually the best one, I often believe. Besides, I have two other Google blogs, (Effie at Large) and (Writing by Effie) that will take care of any other random ideas I have. All three of these should catch all the spillover from my Helium writings, my occasional article at Associated Content, and my dealings, every now and then as a ghost writer for Textbroker. Twitter gets a crumb or every few days that should be enough for me.

All this is certainly nothing I could ever have imagined back in the early nineties when I had to pay for a web page. Not only that I had to study extremely hard to learn HTML and find ways to get my page uploaded. Technology is great, I am a living example! Now these fifteen or so years later, I do have to pay more for my online service, but neither do I have to get online from 4 am to 7 to be sure and not run up my bill too much. I was then, and am now a dedicated writer. I must have been born that way.

Ps. The picture is mine. It is a framed fabric collage.
