Looking Back

Posted on by

Each week I will try to highlight posts that touched my heart. I am queen of emailing posts to my family saying “read this!” This year I will try to give you a weekly list of posts that touched me and would be worth your time reading. So welcome to the family, I am saying “hey this is a great read when you have a moment!”

Blog posts that are 500 words or less are better. I have to concur.

I made Pioneer Woman’s Steak Bites this week. Let’s just say my normally non-complimenting son said, “MOM these taste PROFESSIONAL!”  To say they were a hit, is an understatement. And guess what, they are easy. If I can make them ANYONE can make them.

Radical Womanhood talks about he US Airways plane accident that happen this week and I could not have said it any better.

This Saturday it is short, I am sick and my head feels like a bolder is sitting on it. Hopefully I will emerge Monday rested and feeling better. Have a great weekend!

Each week I will try to highlight posts that touched my heart.

Bloggers are terrible writers, here is a list of what not to do.  I am  guilty of EVERY ONE and I think I broke at at least two rules just writing this sentence.

Trevin Wax of Kingdom People has been interviewing Any Crouch, who is a senior editor at Christianity Today International.   I wanted to highlight the question where Andy talks about being wary of “world-changers.”  I really like when Andy said, “..whatever halting progress I have made in becoming more Christlike is entirely attributable to God’s grace, not to any particularly impressive strategies I have pursued.”

Reading is like breathing to me, but I know many people do not view it the same way. I want to encourage you that just reading 15 minutes a day (no matter what it is) reaps great rewards. Be encouraged by Janelle Bradshaw’s goal for this year. (and if you are my sister I added this link just for you ;) ) )

I tell my boys not to look to athletes as their role models, but it sure is GREAT to have a good example of how to live a godly life in the midst of temptations.

Do you have any problems?  Be sure to blame it on the economy. (this post made me chuckle)

Hey it is written in black and white so IT MUST BE TRUE: Messy Homes are Good For Kids!!
