Hangman update! I finally figured out why folks were getting the same Hangman puzzle. I had the link above going to the old page on Family Fun Puzzles and not to where I am now updating it on Joy in Jesus. My bad. All fixed now if you use the link above.

Today I took a giant step forward in creating the new upcoming show – Joy in Jesus. I had a strategic session with an expert in Hangout Mastery. His name is Ronnie Bincer and that is his mission in life. Help people and businesses learn to do hangouts properly. So I put all my nickels and dimes together that I had and some that I didn\’t have (living on the edge here) and I hired him for a session.

This is why I did it. I could try and do it on my own. Bungle and learn through a lot of trial and error or I could take the plunge and get help. At my stage in life I have learned it is better to get help. It is almost always worth it in the end. So the session went marvelously well – I broke through the ice of getting into it with my first hangout and found out that it is fun!

Of course I looked worse than ever I thought when I first saw it, but then I decided what the heck. Who cares? The point is learning, getting the message and spreading it. If the bearer of good tidings is a donkey  (Scripture uses the word Ass) so what? Get over it, already. It\’s sort of like when I go to Bible study. The message that I get from these wonderful ladies are total blessings – and none of us are all prettied up and made for front cover magazines. We are just normal sort of folks, with end of the day tiredness, limp hair and baggy pants. (The pants parts was me – as I was wearing my pajama bottoms underneath to stay warm!) I\’ll go to almost any lengths to be comfy. You probably don\’t want to be seen on the street next to me I suppose but I will be warm.

At any rate things are definitely moving forward. I have lots more to learn but I feel encouraged that I know a bit more of what to do and how to proceed. At this point I think the shows will start in March. They will be about 15 minutes in length and if no one watches for the first six month it will be okay because I will be learning and growing with it. As I learn I hope to help other folks who want to get involved with using Google Hangouts in their ministry as well. I do think it would be very fun to do a Bible study or book sharing using Google hangouts. Anyone want to experiment with that?

Have a wonderful, joy-filled day!

    1. Thanks Mary! It was my nephew who taught me the secret of using flannel jammies as cheap long underwear. Works great. We don’t get lots of cold weather so it fits in nicely for the days we do.
      God bless you too. Lots n Lots!

  3. Good for you all is moving along nicely, I have an email out to my friends Susan and Bill S the missionaries, they live in Columbia, MD. Will keep you updated. They are quite amazing this couple, just amazing. Will be very excited for you to connect with them, this will be a wonderful way to link together the large and small ministries and they will be able to share their successes and needs to continue to do God’s work and to help others in need, state side and international. They work in the computer industry , so they are quite knowledgeable regarding different types of program training, etc. Have a great Thursday.

  4. Patricia, my 4 yr. old grandson was here the other day & we had so much fun playing the memory games. Thanks!

  5. Way to go Patricia!

    Way to go Patricia!!! I’m sure paying for help was well worth it. I just pray that I will know how to connect with the program(s) that you go to. I have been with you since you were in the Convent. I don’t want to lose you now.
    You are so far advanced with the computer than I will ever be.

    I dress for warmth and confort also, besides it is better for your health!!!

    I love hearing from you. I still think you could write an autobiography using the letters that you have sent to us over the years.

    Maybe someday. Meanwhile keep on doing what you are doing. You are very talented and Blessed.

    Love and Prayers,

    1. Hi Virginia,

      Don’t worry – I will keep things as simple as I can. Believe me there is a learning curve for me as well. Today I was supposed to go to a live hangout (like the kind I want to do) and I couldn’t figure out how to join it! So will definitely keep that in mind when I do figure it out.

      Sometimes I think about writing my story. But such a job – and how can one write about life – it seems every couple of years one’s viewpoint changes.

      I am reading a book now called, Dilemma which is about Father Albert Cutie’s leaving the Roman Catholic Church to get married and go to the Episcopal Church. It’s his story. Very good book which brings up lots of thoughts.

      Right now I am so thankful for our new Pope. I think he will be another Francis sent by God to prop up a falling church!
