My Blog Favorites

I know, I know. I haven't posted in awhile. I could say that I've been super busy but I don't think that is a valid excuse anymore because truthfully, you're busy too, right? Right. And yet you still check in to see what or if I've posted. (note my look of pure gratitude)

But I can say that I have some good stuff in the works. Yes, that means that I'm not posting all of that good stuff today. But it does mean that it is coming soon. Very soon.

In the meantime, I decided to take a moment and honor a few of the blogs that I READ on a weekly, if not daily, basis. As not to offend all of my writer friends out there, I must say that this is not an exhaustive list. There are plenty of spots that I visit occasionally on the web...these just happen to be a few of my favs. Some are writing/publishing industry related, other are the blogs of the writers themselves. Some are Christian, others...well others, not so much (guilty pleasures). I won't tell you which is which so if you are sort of Pharisee-like, you may not want to click randomly. :)

All are either informative, revelatory, or just plain out hilarious. Enjoy!

In no particular order...

A few thoughts on love...

No one is excluded from the love of God. No one should be excluded from the love we share with one another. We are either all deserving of it or all terribly undeserving of it. Either way, love is capable of inhabiting anything if it is allowed to fully be.

Be what, you ask? Just be. Nothing extra. Nothing less than what it is and certainly nothing more.

See that's where most of us get in trouble. We try to turn love into something that we can manipulate. We think that we can fashion it so that it meets not only with our approval but the approval of those that we so desperately seek to please. But real love hides from that sort of thing and what most people end of finding out at the last minute is that the thing that they were try to manipulate wasn't love at all. It was a mirage of what it was supposed to be. Emulating all of the emotion of love but none of its commitment or sustenance.

"God is. Love is."

Just a thought.
