Chapter One

So for months now I have been promising to set up a blog that has chapters of the book that I have been working on. I mean to do this, really I do, but something always happens and I don't seem to get it done. Well no more, today in this very blog post you will find a link to the blog that will be Aaron's Book Blog. Now you will probably find more than just Confessions on there, you may find snips of other short story ideas or novel thoughts. I have several things kicking around in my head right now.

So without further ado, I think that's how you spell that here ya go. A link to the first paragraph. Let me know what you think if you can.

I tried for Aaron's books but it didn't work. Someone already took that one. Oh this blog is still going to be active. I have all sorts of other stuff to say when it comes to this whole life thing, and this is the best place that I can think of to talk about all of that fun stuff.

On a side note. While the world may run on Microsoft, everyone knows my feelings on the subject, and while I use Office for it's simple compatibility issues, I am doing a lot of my book editing now in google docs. Doing so allows me to work on it when something new comes to mind, then all I have to do is export to word if need be.

Also typing this up on an ubuntu machine. I love my macbook and will keep going with it of course, but sitting in the same room with everyone else that is hear, and yes I did say everyone else, I'm afraid God may be preparing me for another girl, with what will when J gets home from work be 5 females in the house company is here in case you were wondering, it's still better to be in the same general vicinity as other people.

Thanks for all your reading. Hope for some comments is you please, especially on the book blog.

I have some good news... and some bad news...

The journey of the past few weeks has been one that goes up and down.  There are so many things that seem to be happening at this juncture of our life and none of them make a lick of sense.  To bring you up to speed,   I guess it was two weeks ago I passed out on a Monday morning.  J was worried as was I, couple that with a head ache that had lasted for several days and it was time to go to the doctor.  Doctors are intersting creatures.  I wasn't going to but upon going to Work on Tuesday and almost passing out while there, and in the process scareing people.  It was decided I would make the appointment.  I did went and so began the Oddesey of tests,  MRI's showing white lesions on my brain, heart tests showing a heart murrmer,  eeg's all sorts of things.  At each visit I dutifully asked for confirmation,  the neurologist said I was not to drive on the beltway at all until things were resolved.  I would let people that I worked for know, on one attempt I got my bosses voice mail box and it was full,  meaning he doesn't even check it.  Today, waiting to go to the last of my doctors appointments I find out that they are no longer going to be needing my services.   Seems that even with medical issues they are going to down size me.  Bad news. 


Good News.  We are going to add another Newell to our family.  I'm excited about that.  More good news.  We may still be working for the church. Great conversation, so there is a lot of prayer that is going to be happening.  Every time something happens that seems to be a bad thing it's a teaching moment.  I am praying that this teaching moment will not be wasted on me.



So if you're a praying person please pray for us.  Pray for me that I dont lose it.



Thanks
