I love your message. It's so needed! I'm glad you are speaking the truth, unashamed. We have been bamboozled. Keep after it--and thanks for joining the High Calling. We're really glad to have you in the community!

I have fallen flat on my face more times than I can count, when I've relied on myself (or the world) instead of God. Thanks for the reminder to find my balance in Him. And thanks for joining The High Calling. We're really glad to have you!

I am so glad someone is talking about this, in a public forum. I've been in both kinds of jobs--those where my worth has been extremely valued, and those where I've felt like a business expense. In the first, benefits were offered (not just wages, as you accurately said) which made me more loyal. In the latter, I felt used, abused, and cranky. God's wisdom ALWAYS trumps the world's. Always. Thanks for posting this, and for joining The High Calling. We're so glad to have you aboard!

I'm feeling the need to be more childlike myself these days. Love the simplicity of this post, the words, photo and the colors.  Welcome to The High Calling! (new faith member)

I love your cover letter! :) And I'm glad you joined the High Calling Blogs network. We have all denominations and ages of writers, including young Episopalians...and MOST of them have a sense of humor. A few are big gamers, too. So I think you'll find some kindred spirits. Welcome!

Such beautiful photos--and even more beautiful words. The pain is worth it, isn't it? :) Thanks for sharing...and welcome to High Calling Blogs. We're really glad you've joined us!

Your retreat sounds wonderful. I'm with Liz, above. I miss the days of front porch swings and real, meaningful conversation. (A few of us are like-minded there!) I think so many people just partake of technology mindlessly, letting it consume them. It really irks me when someone lets a tweet or ring interrupt a deep (or even shallow conversation). BTW, welcome to the High Calling community--I think you'll find some kindred spirits there. I'm really glad you've joined and look forward to getting to "know" you better.

Beautiful photos illustrating one of my favorite verses. Welcome to The High Calling!

Interesting new member/poetry blog. Stop by to say hello. He hasn't chosen a blog category yet. 

Generally speaking, I'm a morning person. I seem to hit a slump in mid-afternoon and can be found by 8PM, half asleep on the sofa if we're all watching TV.  Love the post here. I was just reading Matthew 24 this week, as I prepared for a women's ministry meeting on Disaster Preparedness. By the way, welcome to The High Calling!

I think worship is one of the places where we are often tempted to make it about us, instead of about God.  I love how you're having meaningful conversations with people about worship and what a great analogy about familiarity and liturgy.  Welcome to The High Calling!

This made me smile and God's goodness, in the small things. And chocolate, at that! It almost confirms my belief that on the 8th day, God created chocolate. :)

Such a thoughtful post about a monumental event. As I watched videos of many celebrating his death, I felt sadness. Sadness at the loss of so many lives during the events of 9/11 and since then, but also sadness at a life lost without Jesus. You're a welcomed addition to The High Calling!

Oh. My. Gosh. I love the first photo and that sheepish look. I've seen that look in my children's eyes, felt it in my own heart.  Great to have you as a member of The High Calling! 

I've not seen that breakdown before, but looks like an easy way to remember and tackle communication problems. So glad to welcome you as a new member of The High Calling

This is beautiful. I love the imagery and word choices. Glad to find you through High Calling Blogs. Thanks for joining us! I hope you have time to participate in the network on a regular basis. I know you would bless others, and that it would bless you, as well.

Happy birthday to your hubby. I'm so glad to find you through High Calling Blogs. Welcome to the network! I have a sweet, godly, handsome hubby who can cook, too. :) God is good!

You're so right--we want a quick fix, but God calls us to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling." Good post--and welcome to the High Calling Network! We look forward to getting to know you as you have time to participate. :)
