Frenemies

Learned a new word today.  From the just-turned 9 year old who arrives bright and bushy-tailed every morning at 7:30 with her younger sister.

Frenemies.

When commenting on her cute shirt with its picture of three dark-haired girls clustering at armpit level she explained, "this one is me...this is so-and-so, my BFF, and this one in the middle, well, when we're friends it's so-and-so, but when we're enemies then it's another so-and-so pal.  Frenemies.  That's what we are.  Sometimes we love one another and other times, well, others we're just plain enemies..."

Frenemies.

Which is what I am with this blogger site (or rather, my own computer illiteracy) at the moment....had a half-started blog entry from yesterday that has vanished (well, probably not, but since I can't even get to the unfinished saved entries I will just say vanished for now) that I cannot access.

Half an entry is an extraordinary time commitment for me, as silly as that may sound.  So needless to say frustration has more than creeped in.  Hubby wants to know when I am going to take some Gravol so that perhaps I can have one of the handful of full nights of sleep that I have had in the last 7 years.

But I am not here to whine.  Wine, perhaps, but not whine....(My entries make me sound like a true lush but with two visits a year to the liquor store, spending an average of $20, I don't think I have too much to worry about in that department.  Drinking wine just sounds so sophisticated...)

Back to Frenemies.

Allegedly "Frenemies" is a TV show...google it and voila: "Geek vs Chic. Beauty vs Beast. Downtown vs Uptown"???  Neither of the co-stars on their site depiction look geeky or beasty or anything other than perfect...though I, fashion diva that I be hardy har, am not sure when it became acceptable to sport knee-highs with stilettos?

On a deeper note: Sometimes, I have to admit in my ever-transparent mode, I am Frenemies with the Lord.  It has nothing to do with His unchanging grace...it is only because of me and my ways.  My rebellious ways that cause me to go astray and then wonder, "where has He gone?"

⁹ Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! ¹⁰ For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! ¹¹ Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.  Romans 5:9-11
