The 2 gift items I get repeatedly and struggle to use are journals and white wine. I seem to remind people of these things, and I intend to put them to good use. Unfortunatey. I don't have a bent towards neatness or high organization. Journals get written in once, my ideas go down on the back of library book receipts, and clutter builds that results in journals getting tossed. And that sweet white wine that tastes like melted lollipop gets served to guests while I pour another red.
This morning I finally got around to replacing those old journals and created an email account for God. Given the variety of addresses approximating God's Inbox, I don't believe this is a popular idea. I find I want to write to God all the time but end up writing to my sister or a friend instead. There is something satisfying about seeing an end result, and knowing that tangible proof of requests exists. I could sort them by people. I could delete the worst of my ideas. Unlike my paper logs, I will never spill coffee on it or leave it by a window when it's raining.
If you want to write in, it's God.inbox@yahoo.com. But I imagine you have a beautiful library of journals organized by year, written in with purple ink, and tied up with ribbons.

I love this idea! Sometimes praying and journaling feel so nebulous...there's a certain appeal to getting it all written down somewhere. I'm sure he'll respond, even if it's not by email. :-)
