I woke up this morning wishing I could afford the domain name “God and the Girl”. I had owned it before and let it go- and when that happens, the domain gods believe (if they believe anything) that the domain name is of value. So when I decided to look it up once again this morning, I expected to see the $800 plus price tag that it would cost to repurchase the domain name.

Now I don’t know if there is a system to the pricing- like maybe the price goes up for a year or two and when nobody bites, then it plummets back to the normal price for a domain name. I have never seen prices go back down when it comes to domain names because if someone wanted it once- someone will likely want it again…

So I checked the price and it was the standard price for an unwanted, unloved, invisible domain name. It was $10.28.

And I about cried. Because I have wanted to write this blog, but no other name would do. “Damsel and Divine”…’Her and the Holy”…lol I couldn’t even put a twist on the word girl- like “gurl” because it was dumb. And maybe because “gurl” has another sorta slang definition… I don’t remember/I don’t care. But no other name would suffice. So I needed a miracle. I even asked for one. Then like that one commercial about cooking a chicken or something (was it the Ronco cooking gadget?), I “set it and forget it” (Or forgot it- but that wouldn’t sound as good as the original tag line). And this morning, in all her shining glory, the name was prepared for me to take it back.

Ok, maybe I’m a little dramatic. Maybe this wasn’t a miracle. But miracles, much like beauty, are in the eyes of the beholders. Of the askers. I figured maybe one day I would be able to afford it again. I left that ball in God’s court. And the rest is (now) history.
