- Her story, His words – I’ve only recently discovered Angie’s blog, Bring the Rain. If you haven’t met her yet, you can read her story here. This post brought me to tears as I consider the blessings God has given her and the work He’s doing through her – and how it’s all being made possible with Christian publishing.
- Renewing the View of You – Is it possible to leave the rubric of perfection behind for a day? This Gifted for Leadership article addresses the way we women are constantly judging and comparing ourselves. Here’s a snippet:
“I know that comparison is a black hole of inadequacy, that there is not a more
beautiful identity than fearfully and wonderfully made, that being bought at a
price is the greatest expression of worth the world has ever known. . . And yet
it never ceases to amaze me how we—smart, capable women—screw this up.” - Top Websites to Visit When You’re Laid Off – Thanks to Worthington Wire for this relevant find. (And if you haven’t checked out that site, you should!!

High Five to you, friend!
That article by Anne was very good and she has some good points. I like reading her blog too. Just this week I was thinking about the different friends I’ve met in the blog world, the valuable things I’ve learned, and great conversations and discussions. But, while it is wonderful and I hope to meet y’all someday, it just isn’t like actually spending time with people face to face in everyday life.
The old fogey thing about Facebook was pretty funny. I still don’t do Facebook and probably won’t start. It would just take more time away from offline relationships like Anne said. Blogging is bad enough.
I’ll be honest and say I cannot just drink water only. Sad to say… I need coffee.
Brenda, I have to be honest, too – I already drink mostly water, so it’s not a big change for me. If the deal was to give up carbs, I’d be in trouble!
