About 2 1/2 years ago, I posted "Blogs You Must Follow," where I shared a list of my favorite blogs.  Over the last two and a half years, my list has grown in some areas and shrunk in others.  But regardless, I have to share my latest and greatest favorites.  I'm not making the most of my favorite things if I'm not sharing them with others!  Here are the latest blogs you must follow: (in)courage - My all-time favorite blog!  Lots of posts from many Christian lifestyle bloggers.  Daily inspiration and encouragement, book clubs, and community groups.  They also post great…

Let’s All Be Brave: A Book Review

Just this past fall, I had the opportunity to participate in my first Bloom book study.  Lucky for me, because we read Let’s All Be Brave by Annie F. Downs. Let me just say… LOVE LOVE LOVE!

First of all, with this movie having been rated PG, I thought that it's scariness would be limited to that of, you know, something more like Monsters, Inc. scary.  Boy was I wrong.  Twenty minutes into the movie, we had to turn it…
