Thoughts and drafts

Name:

Annette Agnello started writing in the tenth grade inspired by a wonderful teacher, and has been writing for publication over forty years. She started writing after she won a scholarship for a writing course from “Berean University.” Advocate Magazine, which held the contest, published her first article “Consider the Words of the Song”. Several years later she began writing poetry and had considerable success. She was regularly published in the first year of Faithwriters 500 e-magazine. She took some time away from writing due mainly to health issues fully supported by her loving husband Mario who is currently involved in a prison ministry while waiting for his minister’s licences to be awarded so he can become a full time evangelist.

Deb linked my first blog to her blog but I still can't get into it to add more. Indeed I ended up on this blog when I tried to get to post from there. That blog is lost to me after two posts. Ah what you can loose in the death of a hard drive. I liked that blog better, it was a nice green the current blog I made on my husband's computer and it was a pretty blue, on my repaired computer it is a depressing black I don't know how to change it as much as I would like to. Since you can't get there from here I'm going to copy those posts here, at the end of today's post.

I have started working through Creative Call and am doing the 20 minutes of freewriting in the journal to start the day before even the Bible reading and all that before praying the daily prayers with my husband. It was wonderful but I was sick today and don’t know how it will work out on a normal day.

Well here are the missing posts. Even though this is not totally a class blog it is me.

Yalta, I went there on a mission trip and when we were on the balcony overlooking the Black Sea I was struck I was standing where the picture of Rosovelt, Lennin, and Churchill had been when they were at the Yalta confernece.

introduction
I have just changed blogs so I can link with the blog on the study of “Creative Call” by Jan Elsheimer. I will also be using it for the Study on the Names of God as I did on my old blog. But from the looks of things I might be able to have separate places on my account for both topics, and perhaps some of my writing as well.

Creative Call

I originally set up this Blog because someone on my Creative Journaling group is teaching a class in her Church which she wanted to link student's blogs to and she is allowing members of her Christian journaling group to join in. I went right out and got the book I'm about a chapter behind the class and loving it. So far it is most reminding me of a sermon our associate pastor once preached about people who discourage you from doing what God always meant for you to do.

Thanks to my computer disaster I'm planning to do my journaling differently from now on. And my Bible study. I intend to have the two linked together far more closely. In an odd way loosing everything on my computer is going to help me to a far more organized hard drive. I was tired of not being able to find what I had saved because I would desperately need it. I'm tired of being a scatter brain.

I'm back with a new drive

I’m back on line barely I have word and Netscape on my own computer again, and what I can get to online. I could do a standard install to add back my programs but they keep trying to put everything on C drive I have a strange setup and that is not the main drive of this computer F is. C drive is the zip drive and you can’t put programs there.

I wanted to at least get at least one of the Bible programs on the drive for in the morning. I missed having referenced at my fingertips while I was doing my Bible study.

A couple of people expressed sympathy for the dead drive. I don’t know how much is saved on floppies but I have had to resign myself to the loss of a fair amount of what I have done recently.

I backed up my journaling program recently but the indexing is gone without the program to key to. I have so many backups of the stuff on the computer it is hard to know what is what. And to make matters worse I can’t find the upgrade disk to my favorite Word processing program. All of the stuff I have written and saved is on WordPerfect 11 and the highest I can find is WordPerfect 8.

Before I got married I did all my installing myself but Mario has done it for the last few years. I’m not sure why he has made things so complicated I can’t install anything by myself anymore. But I’m back in however limited function. Maybe I can get really organized on this new drive it is a blank page right now.

new beginning

My computer died taking all my information about my blog with it so I am trying to rebuild my on-line life. There was a virus, and yes I do have a good program to protect me, but it had only quarantined 3 out of 4 parts of the virus and the power went off. When it came back you know what creak I was up without a paddle. I'm using my husband's laptop till it gets fixed this is the of five days till I am back in the online world.

The other blog which has disappeared an introduction. I will not inflict that on you this time. If you read my posts with any degree of regularity I will start instead telling you I am a writer. I have had a number of poems, and articles published. I am trying to write a book on the names and titles of God. I have been at it a long time and in some ways I am afraid of trying to do something as big as a book. In a lot of ways the blog will let me test my thoughts and I would like feedback on what I’m thinking of putting in the book. You’ll also be seeing the occasional short practice piece from a prompt.
