Something I’ve always been obsessed with is singing. It seems like no matter where I go, who I’m with, or what’s going on, there’s almost always some reason for me to burst into song, or at least to have a song running through my heart & my head. I recently quit the show chorus I’d been a member of, because the time commitment was becoming too great a challenge for me to work around. However, I have been fortunate enough that I am now able to sing with a group of people who use hymns to praise God & bring His glory to people in nursing homes & those that may be shut in their own houses, for some time. I had the pleasure of Christmas caroling with this group & I cannot express what joy it brought to me, personally to be able to do so. The songs we have chosen to sing this month (the group goes out once a month) are many of the hymns I grew up singing, having been raised in a little, Baptist church. This group (as well as my own, current church members) are all non-denominational Christians, however they have not done away with these “oldie, but goodie” tunes & for that, I am also grateful. Just hearing the piano introductions takes me back & causes the floodgates of my heart to pour out in song, even if my part is merely in melodies.

A new, more “technology-aged” obsession of mine has been a certain online computer game, that many are, well, for lack of a better term, “addicted” to, lately & that is World of Warcraft. Jeremy & I have both been playing it since this past September & although we’ve had our ups & downs, we just can’t seem to quit. Our best friend & her boyfriend got us a free trial to begin playing it with them & there are times that we all play together that are just extremely fun! I don’t want to get into all the specifics, because it would make me reveal my inner “nerd”, but this game is pretty awesome! For those who don’t know what it’s about, you basically start out as a character who goes on “quests” & as your character does these quests, they get skill points, which help them to do much more challenging quests & gain more skill, over time. Again, there are many more details, depending upon what type character you’ve chosen to play as, but I don’t plan on getting into all that, here. Basically, there are 70 levels right now & Jeremy & I have made it to level 58, thus far. We typically get online for an hour or two, after the girls are in bed for the night. If you are into this game as much as we are, feel free to contact one of us for all of our player stats & info. so that perhaps we can “see” you there, sometime!
