The Saturday Six

One.

If you're from Fort Wayne, you know all about DeBrand chocolate. It's quite tasty. But I have to say, my favorite thing they make, that I haven't found anywhere else {quite like it, anyway} and is, in my opinion, worth the extra cost, is their berry marshmallow. I'm telling you. One of these + a chocolate bar square + a chocolate graham cracker = ruined for life on s'mores. Oh and P.S. They ship. Just sayin'.

Two.

A couple of weeks ago on BLT, I talked about a pin I found where you make a "dining passport" with your significant other. You make a list of 50 places you want to eat, and then when date night rolls around and neither of you has a clue where to go, you just open it up and choose one...and off you go. When Lynne came home from vacation, she brought this little souvenir for Ryan and me: the Dining Out Restaurant Journal. It's the same concept, but allows you to also keep track of why you went to that restaurant, who you ate with, what you had, and the highlights of the evening. SO CUTE!

Three.

Read this article written by Jenny Simmons, who used to be the lead singer for Addison Road and is now out on her own. I met Jenny at WBCL's Daddy Daughter Date Night this past spring and LOVED her. Love her writing too, and think this is fitting for the week containing our nation's birthday.

Four.



You all know I love me some Beth Moore. And this blog post she wrote this week, praying for revival in our land - absolutely moved me to tears.  

Five.

Natasha...this one is for you!! My little flower pots in front of the garage are really growing big!! Love the way they're filling out and spilling over. :) Perhaps my first ever success!

Six.

A thousand amens to this post by Anita Mathias. If you're a blogger, you gotta read this one. I'm such a rebel when it comes to all the prescribed ways to build an audience. My goal is to have the audience here that God brings here...and not spend all my time trying to lure and trick people into visiting...but she says that way better, so read her words.

Thanks, Bekah. Connections will come organically and eventually. Initially, and for a while, I really believe it's best to focus on the work as our worship of God!
Blessings, Anita

I'm a little behind on my blog reading (and commenting!) as you might be able to tell. (How is it Monday night already?!?!) Anyways, I love the idea of a dining passport and the journal Lynne gave you is awesome. I want one!

Thanks for the shout out and the picture of your beautiful planter. I love it!

And I really liked that article by Anita Mathias. Thanks for linking to it.
