New High Calling Members

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

There's something so satisfying about finding your niche - that "just knowing," isn't there? Welcome to The High Calling! Be sure to Like us on Facebook to connect with others more easily.

The quote about Kirk Cameron made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that! :) And thanks for your insights on this subject. I heartily agree that Christians can (and should) do better. I did like Soul Surfer, however. The fact that it was based on a true story helped the believability to me. But I did think that they glossed over the struggle that the surfer-girl went through. It was more a dark minute of the soul. :) Welcome to The High Calling. I can't wait for you to dig in and become acquainted with our wonderful community. I hope you'll do that soon.

Haven't heard it put just this way before, but it makes so much sense! Can't wait to read more of your posts. We're glad to have you as a new member of 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! 

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!

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. :)

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!

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!

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

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

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.

Wow. I LOVE the poem. And I love that verse of EBB's. I'm with Kristin-I think you and I would get along wonderfully. I'm so, so glad you've joined The High Calling, and look forward to your comments and posts as you have time to participate.

Glad to hear that you've found something to use your passion and background. And I'm glad that you've joined The High Calling. It's a great tribe and I encourage you to dig in and find some wonderful fellow Christian bloggers there. :) Welcome!

I'll see you there--and as one of my friends used to say, we'll probably be surprised by some of the people who join us. :) I'm glad, btw, that you've joined our community at The High Calling. We're thrilled to have you aboard. It's a warm, encouraging, and thought-provoking place to spend time while waiting to be "transported." :)

I love the term "Socially Responsive" business. The non-profit I work for has a goal of treating ALL people with dignity and helping them become self-sufficient: "providing help, creating hope" is our tagline. I also really like your blog and am glad you've joined the High Calling network. I look forward to interacting with you and getting to know you better!

Absolutely on target and such encouraging reminders.  Welcome to The High Calling!

Just wanted to welcome you to The High Calling! I look forward to reading your posts when you return from your back. 

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)
