No, I haven’t forgotten to blog here!  It’s just that my computer crashed and when I do get online (which is very limited), unfortunately I’m busy doing other things.  My computer is still in the shop, so I won’t be blogging here until it’s fixed.  While you’re waiting for my return, here are a few links to check out. 

Regenerate Our Culture has launched Issue 14 with a theme on Purity.  Not only have we launched another issue, but ROC now has a couple of new podcasts that are coming soon – Without Excuse (hosted by David MacMillian) and Midrash (hosted by David Ketter).  From the site: 

Ever since Regenerate Our Culture began, part of the vision has been to get involved with the spoken word. Regenerated Radio is the first step in fulfilling that vision, echoing the same message that we’ve been putting out through the magazine and blog network: embrace Christ’s regeneration in your own life, then take that and regenerate the culture around you.

I’m very excited about the launch of these two podcasts.  Both David MacMillian and David Ketter are passionate about what they believe and in addition to reading their blogs, I look forward to listening to them! 

I recently found Inklings – a new-to-me-blog by a homeschooled graduate Rachel Thomson.  She is a published writer and shares many tips on writing.  As an aspiring writer myself, I enjoyed her blog and have bookmarked it for future reference.  Her blog is very down-to-earth and fun to read.  Make sure you check it out!   

And lastly, Beauty from the Heart, the co-blog that I started last October, celebrated its first birthday on Oct. 3rd.  I have been happily blogging with three cyber-friends who have become more like sisters to me.  Each of them challenge and encourage me in my faith so much.  In mid-September, we all met in north Texas (which is another reason I had been absent).  It was the first time we were all together and we had a blast! 

On the health front:  (If you’re not familiar with my illness, click here.)  I am still experiencing quite a bit of joint pain.  I have also come down with a nasty cold that has taken a lot out of me.  Because my immune system is weak, I am liable to catch anything.  I’d like to humbly ask for your prayers that the cold would go away and that I wouldn’t catch anything else this winter.  Thanks!
