New Blog Title

Well we have been in the states now for a good three months. It is hard to believe the time has gone by as fast as it has. I have found that this "new" life has brought to light many new challenges and I find myself missing the outlet of "blogging." Since I am sortof thinking that "The Jerusalem Letters" might be a bit inaccurate these days, I am planning on starting a new blog in the next week or so. Since I write for my own benefit mostly, it doesn't really matter that no one will read the new blog. But just in case you think that reading about life in Jerusalem is much less exciting than subjects like motherhood, church planting, and washing dishes, then maybe the new blog is for you. The following are some titles for the new blog that I am toying with and I appreciate any input that comes my way (if anyone other than me actually reads this!):

Lamentations of a Church Planter Wife

Why toddlers never get tired of eating dog food (and other similarly disgusting things)

Discipleship and Dishwashers

12 Steps to Coming to terms with the fact that you have three boys (and a dog)

How to feed your family on $3 a day (plus free Starbuck's pastries)

How to go without a shower (or much sleep) for four days in a row and still look terrific

Again I would appreciate any feedback on this. So many wonderful possibilities. Since this blog contains absolutely no cathartic venting (please remember that I have a dry sense of humor) I look forward to starting the new blog soon.

I'll read your blog no matter what you end up calling it... you're a great writer with great thoughts.

Write on. :)

Thanks Julie - its a surprise to me that I can have any great thoughts at the end of the day with the boys draining them out! :)

"Lamentations of a Church Planter Wife" Since I know a little about motherhood already and practice washing dishes every day - I think I'd enjoy reading about the life of a church planter wife.

yeah, but I'd probably read it even if you called it "stuff".

I like the 12 steps idea, but don't you have 4 boys and a dog? I realize one is considerably older than the other 3, but still...

I have three grown children. Two have grown-up families. I am a widow. I am old. What you write of what what you write of in "The Rav's Bombshell" is long also my know-how. I am now old. I have lived revelatory everyday lives.

You and Soloveitchick got it dead-on right. You appear to be living in Orange County. I---like Eve knowledge-possessed, "went forth like Abraham, but born & schooled like a Jew in NYC, childbearing 10-years secularizing in Chicago---now 50-years growing-up in Kern County.

My 1988 USC Dissertation title: The Rhetoric of Think Tanks: Re-Presenting A Social Reality for Public Policy. Now I R&D more of our missing history, to fabricate more really-fictional history, that is, "The Persian Jews--Judaism's Moral Entrepreneurs Again Go-Forth, This Time To Civilize The Silk Road & Grow Its Luxury Trade To India."
