I am glad you thought it was beautiful, too. I am going to address some of the comments on my posting of that link. I was really taken aback by that article.
Thank you so much for mentioning my post on Lauren’s site! I hope it helps someone :)
I’m always taken aback by the protesters with signs that begin “God hates”. How can they be Christian and believe that God hates? It’s the ultimate contradiction!
PS. I’m not sure it helped as he sometimes votes the opposite of me!!! :)
thanks so much for mentioning my post. It (you and other blog friends) motivate me to write more transparently and confidently. Thanks so much for your support.
Always great links here, Stephanie. Thanks! :)
Great Links!
LOVED the Tim Schraeder post. Thanks!
Wow, I hope they raise the driving age when flying cars hit the market. Just imagine having to hand over the keys of one to a teenager. As if teaching them to drive doesn’t seem scary enough.
Oh, I am so glad you mentioned Annie’s blog! She is a friend I’ve known over the years over at Kellymom.
Isn’t she great? I truly appreciate her provocative, thoughtful posts (and I usually agree with her perspective).
Tim Schraeder’s blog post was absolutely amazing. What a fantastic way to show God’s love- that definitely inspired me to find ways to do similar things here in Phoenix.
Thank you for linking to Tim Schraeder’s post — it brought a tear to my eye. So inspiring to know and see that there are people who refuse to buy into hatred no matter the justification.
This is my favorite segment that you do…I actually look forward to it!
Thank you, Soni! That means a lot. I put a lot of time and effort into Tuesday Tours so it’s great to know that people like you appreciate it. :)
So glad you included the demonstration. It makes me heart sing.
