I always looked forward to reading Lisa journal entry on her website but she has taken a break from writing for an undetermined amout of time. I hope everything is okay.

I miss her terribly. Its really hard not to get updates on her. Not sure what the sabbatacial was about, but hope she returns soon!!

Yes I miss Lisa

I miss Lisa's monthly eletters a great deal. I really admire Lisa. I do not look up to many people, but Lisa is one of the ones who I do. Like Lisa, I too am a born again Christian. I was raised a Catholic and even studied to be a priest for a while, but stopped going to Church during the summer of 2000 for a number of reasons. Well, I started going again earlier this year (to a different Church though) and it has become a very important part of my life. Reading Lisa's wonderful book The Facts of Life and Other Lessons My Father Taught Me played no small role in my returning to a more spiritual life. Lisa is also simply a very classy lady in my opinion.

Great Testimony "Blair's #1 Fan" I would like to start reading Lisa's journal's when she starts back up again. I have not read them in a long while.

Yeah i miss her as well

I agree that is a really get testimony. I also admire Lisa she is a role model in my life, I want to be more like her with my christianity that is. I too miss her journals I always looked foward to reading them espcially the ones where she would recite something from the bible and and give her 2 cents on what it means to her. I know she is doing a sabbatical (trying to work on her spiritual relationship with god) and I understand that it's important and that it going to take a while. She said she was thinking of doing this sabbatical for at least a year. So even though I miss her journals I will try and be patient until she starts posting again.

Thanks JoPol and Thomas. :)

Yeah, this is getting to be a drag not to be hearing a LITTLE something from her every once in a while. What bothers me is that every so often I like to send her an e-mail on her site, but if she's not posting anything each week, is she not reading e-mails either? I don't expect an answer, but it would be nice to know she's reading what we say.


I like to think that her sabbatical is a healthy time for her to re-evaluate her life, her goals, her relationship with God. She might have to go through dark corners of her life, illuminate her fears, things she has long not wanted to face. The scary things, the unpleasant things. All things hidden to be re-examined, all darkness brought to the light. You could say she could be taking a black sabbatical!! :D :lol:


Oh yeah, me and my rock and roll brain. ;) :crazy: :happyface

Actually I don't think Lisa takes alot of time reading email I think her mother-in-law does more of that or at least she responds to the emails for Lisa

yeah! i miss Lisa too!!!

Has anyone contacted Lisa through her site? I would think Alice (Lisa's mother-in-law) would tell someone that emails what the status is...

Here is an email I got from the LisaW yahoo group and I thought since Lisa isn't doing her journal right now I would share this bit of info about her with you guys, well for atleast the people who didn't get this email.

Thought you'd like to read this. Remember when Lisa Whelchel mentioned
how excited she was to meet Beth Moore, a popular Bible study writer
and speaker? Well, now I've been reading Beth's blog and here is a
post where she mentions being with Lisa at a conference and there's a
picture of them together with the speaker they went to see:

Link? :confused:

Oh I'm sorry I totally thought I had posted it. Here is the email and the link

Email from Karentj24:
Found an interesting Lisa interview online. Since I'm having audio
problems on my home computer, I skipped through it and didn't watch
it all the way through It's different from most interviews as it's
rather casual. Lisa mentions that she and her family were headed to
Israel this month for their church denomination' s convention in Jerusalem this year. The (sometimes shaky) cameraman shows photos and things inside their home. Check it out at: http://tinyurl. com/2nb75m

The interview sounds interesting. i can't wait to have her back writing on her website.

The link doesn't work.

Geez what's going on here first I forget to post the email then the link doesn't work I think I need to start the week over. Well I know it worked for me so I'm going to try it again http://tinyurl.com/2nb75m

Thank you for the link.

Don't hate me, anyone...

Lisa looks too skinny, I think. Her face looks a bit taut, and she simply doesn't look as happy as I've seen her in the past.

As for the video, it seems very rough... was this actually going to be shown on the news? I'm hoping the audio gets fixed and all that.

Yea, I noticed she look very slim and I did sense a loss of happiness that is usually around her. But, she does look very beautiful. The camera got very close to her face and she looks wonderful!

I did notice her eyes looked a little puffy, like someone who's been stressed, a little thin around the neck, but other than that, she looks wonderful. She has a timeless beauty around her.

But I do wonder sometimes, what HAS been happening since her sabbatical?

I can imagine the unleashing of her burdens to God, going into the dark recesses and corners of her psyche, to find the places she'd rather not go and ask the questions she'd rather not ask.

I can imagine she may have gone on a rather Black sabbatical. ;) :D

I just watched the video and I think that Lisa looks as beautiful as ever. :)
