Rita Revitalized Me!

Okay, I decided to keep the blog up at Rita's persistance :) Her encouraging post and email came in just as I was flipping pancakes and thinking I'd delete the blog this weekend. She was such and encouragement! You can read her post on the Calling all Lurkers Comments.

So, if I'm keeping the blog up, I have to change the colors. I LOVE blue it's alwasy been my favorite. It was my family of origin's favorite and is now our family color. I know it's LE's chief color. I just sometimes think all the blue is a bit cheesy. I mean LE-Blue (I'm sure that's a Crayola color) gets tiring, doesn't it? Well, even if you have your house done in LE blue and you eat off Sheriff badge shaped dinner plates, everyone needs a break sometimes!

Consider this the break. Indefinitely, lol.

I'd also like to ask LEO wives to contribute to the blog. Rita, for instance, has great stories to share. Her husband, like Shane, has security experience, but he also has Peace Officer experience. I'd like to invite her and others to share their stories of how God ministered to them or how He worked in their lives in relation to LE.

And maybe I'll open up the blogging for more topics than just LE related. I read recently that the LEOs that do the best emotionally have a broader lifestyle than just LE all the time. They have other hobbies and interests. The ones that live, eat, breathe, and sleep LE are the ones that burn out (um, if you have Sheriff star dinner plates, this could be you...just sayin'...).

I don't know how I'll work that out since all my non LEO stuff gets on my other blog, but that's okay, I'll figure it out...or not...but at least I'm thinking about it :)

Finally, I've been posting a little at Officer.com, a great site with news, jobs, links, and forums. If I put the blog addy in my siggy, then I might get a couple more people over here to comment and mix it up a little.

If you have more ideas, leave a comment. I know you come here, I see it on my sitemeter, so you might as well leave a comment, lol.
