This blog is quite new, but certainly looks promising. Check it out: oregonpencildust.blogspot.com

Here is a touching post on disabilities and learning difficulties.

This is a good post on Lent, from the author of 1,000 Gifts.

St. Patrick's Day is next week! You'll need a recipe for Irish brown bread.

And here's a comic for my Nascar-loving friends.

Yesterday was a holiday...

...so I missed the "Multitudes on Monday" blogging opportunity. I was busy buying a birdfeeder, drinking coffee, and working on a writing project.

And today I seem to have no original thoughts, so I will recommend

this blogpost on the "right" way to homeschool

and this post on refreshing your Praying in Color routine

this site for handy online Bible study tools,

and, on my other blog, this reposting of the songs for my Sacred Signposts study.

You might have noticed...

...I took a break from blogging. I will soon return. :)

A Goal for the New Year

I've looked at The Bible in 90 Days several times, trying to decide if this was a challenge I wanted to begin. Today I read Mom's Toolbox's plan to start reading this on January 1 and blog about her journey through the Bible. I prayed about it and decided to go for it. I've read a lot of Psalms in the last few years, I've read the Gospels and the Epistles several times, but I've really neglected the rest of the Bible. I think this will be a great way to start the new year!
