Guide to Blogging (cont.)

Having gone over the guide to blogging in class on Monday, did in some ways remind me of the many different requirements needed for the blog project and how to blog in general. I think I find myself blogging on the deeper meanings of a text that we are required to read and personal interpretation on the stories and poems. I do not know if I will ever be able to actually sit down and paint out what I feel about a story or poem unless it is in class since that is the only time I really have to actually sit down and paint. Not to mention a puppet show would be nearly impossible for me to do on my time schedule. Am I complaining on what I can't or can't do for a blog? Of course not; I just wish I could paint more often on what stories and poems I read or even do a puppet show for a story or poem I read. To be honest I used to paint and draw a lot when I was younger and I was heavily involved in a puppet ministry at my home church up in Jacksonville Florida. I still remember my puppet's name: herb. He was blue with a orange nose and wore a blue beach flowery shirt. The worst thing about the puppet ministry and can even be considered a good thing was the long periods of time that I had to hold Herb up on the puppet stage. Granted my arm became stronger over time but still the blood would always drain out of my arm and would become very sore. Nevertheless I figured out how to switch arms in the middle of a song or skit without anyone in the audience ever knowing. But perhaps the greatest thing about the puppet ministry I was involved in was the look on the faces of the kids after the team and I were finished. Many of those kids have grown up now and still remember the great times they had during the puppet team's skits and songs. The sad part is that the puppet ministry that was back home is all but gone. I mean there is still puppet skits, but the team is not what it used to be. Now it has been reduced to the back burner of the children's church ministries and is hardly conducted. But despite the puppet ministry being almost dissolved I still keep in contact with those that were on original puppet team ten years ago when I started.
