The Pipers seriously rock. My family are pretty mad about them. Never seen this book though. Gah. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to seeing this blog. It’s so dark and gloomy, it feels like a graveyard. *glares at it* I mean, sure you might like gloom and angst, and sure it might switch the attention from the beautiful blog to your beautiful writing, but… I don’t know. It’s just so utterly fashionably, stylishly <i>boring</i>. And un-you. Impersonal. The template you were working on for HSB before you left us was stylishly gloomy too, but it was also gorgeous and unique and showed some personality, and actually said something. Wordpress is like… blah. *sighs and cuts short the growing rant* Having said that, though, I get that HSB is… well, whatever you and everyone else seems to have against it, which I actually don’t seem to have grasped yet. Untechy or something. *is confuzzled* But I get that you don’t like it, anyhow. And what I actually meant to say, before I went into rant mode, was that I’ve resolved to quit bugging you about it. Because I’ll always adore your blog and your writing, whatever boring format it chooses to wear. That's what I <i>actually</i> meant to say. Oh! Quite randomly, you'll never believe the ultimate awesomeness of what happened to me last night. Someone has translated one of my stories into Russian! We were randomly googling our names just for fun and I googled my pen name, and I found this random foreign site that mentioned my name and the title of one of my stories. So I translated it with the google translator and it was actually my story, and someone had begun translating it! Can you believe how ultimately cool that is? I just had to tell you that, because all my RL friends are all like: "Oh... um... that's great. Russian... great. *weird stare*" I don't care if fanfiction never has a hope of being published; that is one of the coolest things ever. I would write a whole book for that sort of honour. *sighs happily* I second that. The Pipers seriously rock. My family are pretty mad about them. Never seen this book though.

I love John Piper's website, blog, articles, videos, conferences, sermons, and, most of all, the books! He is so gospel-centered and always reminding me to treasure Christ more than anything else in all the world because Christ deserves all of the love, glory, honor, praise, and magnification we could ever give Him and so much more!

Does WordPress host a mailing list or anything like the regular HSB deal did? *wicked grin* How is Jarrett? How is JTN? How is --muahaha-- Cael? *wonders how she could become on a first-name basis with Bethy's characters on such short notice and guesses proposals tend to do things like that* BTW, is Ness part of your debate group? Cuz I saw a peekchur that had a girl who looked like her in there...it looks really fun! No, really! Debating looks FUN! *wild grin* God bless, ~PIP~ *screams*
