A few months back, Lynne interviewed Gaby Dalkin on Mid-Morning. Everyone has a "thing" - and hers is avocados. Seriously. She's an avocado expert. ENTIRE COOKBOOK revolving around avocados - including chocolate chip cookies made with avocado to replace part of the butter. So when Gaby said this is the best guacamole recipe on the face of the earth, I'm inclined to agree and recommend it, even though I've never tried it.

For several months, I followed the story of Janet Pate, a mighty woman of God who battled ovarian cancer. Janet passed away at the end of 2013, and her daughter Jordan has written some BEAUTIFUL posts in tribute to her mom. This one is actually about Janet's husband, who wasn't Jordan's biological dad, but sure did show the fatherly love of Christ to Jordan. I love a beautiful tribute, and this is one!

Less is more, right? Been reading frequently lately about people who are abandoning their lifestyle of stuff in big houses and living a more compact life in a tiny house. While I don't think I'll ever be pushing for such tight quarters for myself, these houses on this site are SO. STINKIN'. CUTE.

New song out by Kari Jobe. Love her. Love the anthem-y feel of this song. Excited to see her in concert this weekend!

I am much better at blogging and Facebooking than I am at any activity on Twitter, but I found this article full of trivia facts about Twitter COMPLETELY fascinating. If you're ever on Jeopardy, one of these might get you through a category!

Bruce Marchiano is an actor who portrayed Jesus in the film Matthew. The book he wrote about his experience in preparing for/portraying that role changed everything about how I viewed Jesus. I had the chance to interview him a couple of years ago...amazingly humble, Christ-filled man. I saw on Facebook this week that he's raising funds for a new pro-life movie and the Bible he used to prep for the filming of Matthew is part of his fundraiser! He said, "Every donation of $10 gets one 'ticket, $20 gets two, etc. At 9 p.m. EST Sunday, I'll put all your names in a hat and draw a winner. It's all for the cause of saving unborn lives, so please join us." This is the site for the movie and the donation.

The whole small living space etc does intrigue me. Granted I live in a 550 sq ft apartment right now and still feel like I have too much "stuff" - but then I visit family/friends who live in giant houses and go "ok, I'm good in my space!"
Really!! 550? That's so tiny! The thing that fascinates me the most about these small spaces is the INCREDIBLE use of space. I think smaller spaces have better use of space than big spaces!!
I finally get to catch up on my blog reading! Yay! Even though you wrote this before I left, I was a little behind even then :)
I loved Janet's blog and prayed for her every day. I've been loving Jordan's blog too and her tribute to Tony made me cry.
I gave up my Twitter account because I found I just wasn't using it. I think Facebook might be the next to go... Yikes :()
I will never give up my blog!
