I Really Need to Get “Out” More in Blogland

Thanks to my first trimester energy drain, I am so far behind on my blog reading it is actually becoming quite embarrassing! I just found out tonight that I won an award back in February and didn’t even know it!

And not only did I win a Jeana Likes Me Blog Award, it was the award with the longest name! How cool is that!



Thanks, Jeana, for the “First Blog I Read Regularly with No Ulterior Motives of Learning to Save Money, but Just Because I Like Her” Award.

Although I have to say that I may make it my goal for next year to win one of the awards I didn’t win: “I Need Depends in Order to Navigate Her Blog”. 😀

    Congratulations!

    I’ve got a good site for you if you’re up to more online “getting out:” Get Organized Now. The ladies (and 1 or 2 guys) there at the forums have great tips for getting organized with or without kids. I’d read up before you go through the first few tough months with a baby. There are lots of Christian ladies there, my favorite commentors are BonnieS and Elizabeth Stewart Clark (although I’m not sure if the latter is a Christian or a Morman, her ideas are helpful.) There are lots of good ideas for simplifying and making your space work for you. Plus, they might have some good ideas about where to put your nursery. There was also a good thread a while back about what you need in a diaper bag. I’m not naturally organized, so the ideas and motivation are helpful for me.

    Congrats to you. And if pregnancy is the reason you are behind on your blog reading I’m all for it.

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself. 

I hope you will join me here where we discuss all of life each day.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
