The Saturday Six

One.

Oh. My. Word. I laughed my fool head off reading these 21 Really Annoying Facebook Friends We All Have. I think the created examples were as funny as the descriptions! Which ones are you? I'm 1 and 2. {Apparently I like to go straight to the top.}

Been pretty glued to this book this week. It's called Dancing on My Ashes by Heather Gilion and Holly Snell - two sisters who lost their father...and months later both their husbands drowned in a canoe accident. Reading their grief journey takes me back to my own {for different reasons} and reminds me how much we carry each other's burdens by sharing our stories.

Three.

Speaking of books. As Ryan and I work to write...together...we're sort of that beautiful blend of excited and scared out of our blessed minds. That's why so much of the advice in Lysa TerKeurst's blog post this week really spoke loudly.

Four.

I hate hashtags. There. I said it. That's a whole blog post in and of itself...but meanwhile, if you're on Twitter, you really should search #AddAWordRuinAChristianBook. People take well known Christian books and add a word to them, thus changing the entire meaning. I appreciated the authors that poked fun at their own titles - and my favorite of them all was "Left Behind Itches." Yes. I'm twelve.

Five.

Encountered this article by Emily Timbol; she and her husband do not feel called to be parents...and that's a tough stance to take in a "when are you gonna have a baby?" world. I don't know if I agree with every word she wrote, but I appreciate her courage to write about a tough topic.

I nearly died over this - over at Thistlewood Farms. A piece of art made entirely from the words in three months' worth of blog posts. Seriously....amazing.
