This is simply lovely…and thought-provoking. Thanks for

She is "ready to kiss and tell.' Nice imagery. Tony, we're so glad you've joined The High Calling. Welcome!

Congrats on the success you've had in 2011. I pray you'll see lots more blessings in 2012. And thanks for joining the community at The High Calling. We are glad to have you!

Congratulations on your baby…and you're he High Calling. We so right, a baby changes absolutely everything…in the best way(s). We're glad you've joined us at The High Calling. We have a lot of resources for you to use in parenting, work, and your faith journey. With a baby coming, we pray (and expect) 2012 will be your best year ever. :)

I've been reading Ann's book, and it is so challenging and encouraging. I agree-it's life-changing. We're glad you're recommending it, and we're glad you've joined her-and us-in the High Calling network. Here's praying that 2012 brings you lots of joy, "SEEING," and gratitude!

Wow! What an incredible gift you gave this employee. You let them leave with dignity and with provision, and I'm sure God taught you and your husband much along the way as well.  Blessings, and welcome to The High Calling!

And leave one with your neighbor, so she can watch the house while you're away. But remember to give her the new key from when the locksmith changed the keys recently, so that when you forget to turn off your straightening iron, she can check it for you. Yes, that would have saved some stress this morning. :) By the way, welcome to The High Calling!

What an incredible story of God's protection! I was so struck by the fact that you had the presence of mind, or maybe the Presence of God, to think to pull on the emergency break.  So glad to welcome you to The High Calling!

I thought the same thing when I read Ann's post. We've been doing a lot of remodeling in our home this year, and seeing that kitchen...well, it puts things into perspective, doesn't it? And by the way, welcome to The High Calling!

Kristin, I see you're an avid reader! I have two other books that I would highly recommend. The first is "Sink Reflections" written by Flylady (Marla Cilley) and is a wonderful book that practically addresses clutter in a way that is not overwhelming. There's even a Facebook page for Flylady. The second is 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp. It's a wonderful book about practicing the discipline of gratitude, written by someone who struggles with agoraphobia. Powerful! And welcome to The High Calling!

That opinion underscores the lack of real leadership in the world today. I get irritated when people treat politicians as potential saviors-because we already have One. But I do wish that world leaders would step up in times like 9/11. Great thoughts! Thanks for sharing them, and for joining us at the High Calling network. We look forward to hearing more from you. Welcome!

This is timely for me. :) First, welcome to the High Calling blogs community. We're really glad you've joined us. I had someone that was offended by something I said recently. I was too flippant about a touchy subject, and apologized. But this person would not let it go without attacking me, and making sure I knew just HOW offended she was, etc. I do think she's not a happy person, and tried to not let it affect me too badly. I like what you said in the first part of the post-if we're all flawed, then why should be so upset when someone (and that includes ourselves!) says something dumb? I'm just thankful for grace. Again, welcome to The High Calling. I look forward to interacting with you.

Wow. I love this post. You have a real talent for capturing Truth through your words. I am thrilled that you've decided to join The High Calling community, and was touched by your post on "ordinary." Welcome to our HC family-I hope we can be an encouragement to you as you share His love through your blog. (I love the name, by the way!) Blessings! Your comment is awaiting moderation.
