Wednesdays with Words: Heart without Words
I apologize that I haven’t commented from last week, soccer season coupled with baseball season is killing me. I will make every attempt to comment on both weeks’ worth of posts as soon as I can. ‘);

For Today… May 4, 2015 … May the force be with you … Outside my [OPEN] window… is a sunny, pleasant, birdsong filled morning. I am thinking… about the coming week and all its fun!

Dawn and Heather Read Together: Own Your Life (Chapter 4)
I keep being a little afraid of what Sally is going to say in the next chapter, expecting that it will be the whammy chapter of “you’re not doing enough for Christ you slacker.” Even though I know she isn’t like that and is all that is encouraging. I suspect it is because I’ve known…

It fits beautifully with Wednesdays with Words and the idea Cindy originally began the linkup with … loving words and the fascinating ways they can be put together.
