There I am, reading along, thinking deeply spiritual thoughts...and you booed at me. Very funny! Is it a new feature or have I just missed it these many months?
Oh..my..gosh. I can't believe you booed me. LOL! Here I am, thinking how great these verses are and how I should copy them for future reference and all of a sudden "Boo!" Thanks for a great laugh along with words to live by. :)
Not only is my computer smarter than I am--now it talks to me. Spooooooooky.
I had the same experience as Christina. There I was, reading your list and meditating on Jesus, and then BOO! I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see your new little player feature. A very funny way to start the morning! :-)
Classical music filled the room, and my creative juices leaked out all over the place. I worked on the chapter about the stalker with the hooded sweater watching from across the street... and the moment she saw him through her window. When I couldn't handle my own goose bumps anymore, I decided to take a break, check my doors, and then come back and read Brandilyn. I clicked on the Forensics and Faith icon so that it could open while I walked around the corner to check the front door. Crazy! The stalker was in the house! And "he" was a woman, shouting "boo" over the music, and laughing like a maniac. I think I am going to join the BHCC people - much safer there!
You do have a devious mind, BC. Just enough of a delay on the audio to scare us...not so much of a delay that we see the audio icon.
But it was worth a little startle to be able to read Jannie's story. I laughed out loud. Did you envision such a scene, Brandilyn? Your mother is right to worry about you.

P.S. I reloaded the page because blogger won't let me log in under my own name. Forgetting all about the audio in my frustration, it made me jump again!
Love your laugh!!
My 'puter is fast, the "boo" hit me as your blog popped up on the screen! for a moment, I couldn't figure out where that disembodied voice was coming from!
Cool!
Ya got me.

Yes, you freaked me out (your voice). Delightfully. I haven't been to F&F (wah, wah) since last Friday. Been at a preachers' meeting. So when I heard your voice,it was kinda' neat.
And "boo" to you too! :vD It was cool actually putting a voice to you!
Love this list!
Good grief, woman! My coffee hit the screen! ROFLOL!
Boo back atcha! LOL! Too cute!
I just finished reading Eyes of Elisha... the first of your books I've read. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'll be adding the others to my TBR list.
I had my suspicions throughout the first part of the book, but there was one clue that escaped me... I won't say what it was, 'cause I don't want to spoil it for anyone else... but in my mind a great mystery story is one I can't figure out until "all is revealed"... There aren't that many of those out there, so thanks for a great read!
Ha! Great to "hear" from you finally Brandilyn! I run too many windows when I'm on the computer (might contribute to my sloooooow writing), so when the 'puter started talking to me, I was trying to figure out which widget was doing it.
Oh, the spiritual stuff is cool too :P.

For those of you reading this post late and wondering what everyone's talking about--I took the audio part off so it won't be playing with the current post. Don't worry--I'll be using audio again soon.
(That's what you get for not keeping up with F&F.) :)
Karla, thanks for the Eyes of Elisha kudos!
