THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST, vol. 2, issue 7

Elizabeth, thank you, again for hosting this. I enjoy reading the variety of blog posts each month. Mine for July is about prayer. Can anyone ever say enough, know enough, or do enough, when it comes to prayer?

Thanks again for the opportunity to participate! I picked a post I wrote about unfair comparisons. Jon Acuff of Stuff Christians Like posted a fantastic quote one day that really just moved me and hence the post. I think everyone struggles with comparing themselves to others at one point or another and I also think that it’s important to remember that we each have value.

Hi Elizabeth,

Ever since reading your post How do I forgive when there’s no apology, I’ve been reading others write or comment on the subject. I hope to write about it this month but for my July contribution to SEBP v2, i7, I’m submitting an analysis of character, Show Me What You Got.

Thanks for hosting the SEBP

I chose a post I wrote for my mom. It started out as a Quick Take on Conversion Diary and before I knew it, I’d written a love note.

I look forward to checking out everyone’s links! Thanks for hosting, Elizabeth!

I just started my blog on July 31st, so I just made the deadline for July posts. I posted, “the promise of morning” which gives a little snapshot of what it’s like to have depression.

Happy Saturday Elizabeth and everyone else,
I haven’t been a part of this for a few months, I was waiting on a new website – it’s finally here, so I’m glad to be back at the party
My post is about the joy of spending time alone sometimes – I need it to center myself. http://www.janetober.com/2010/08/04/being-alone/

I’ve not done this before. Could be fun. I’m picking Leah’s blog.

Thanks EE for giving us a place to share and meet new friends.

Liked your post the first time I read it.. and glad I had the chance to re-read.

I’ve linked to a post about sunshine overcoming the rain.

thanks so much for offering this opportunity! It’s such a cool idea! I am looking forward to clicking through all the various links that came before me

I added a link to one of my posts in the series I did on Heaven & Earth (& Hell). Yes, there’s a reason I structured the title that way. If anyone reading it enjoys or is intrigued by that post, they might find the rest of the series interesting.

Thank you for this link-up! I chose my post about being a feminist. I’m not very brave, so saying it “out loud” was a big step for me.

Sadly, most of the {great} comments on my post disappeared when I moved to WordPress last week. But the conversation was (I admit, surprisingly) respectful and open. I loved it!

I love this meme, BTW. But I messed up the linky- Linkytools remembered my last entry and autofilled it in. My link goes to one about my bipolar child, not a recipe – how do I fix the link text? thanks!

Thanks Elizabeth for doing this – how great to read what others have out there and to have them read mine! I posted my article written last week on “what scares you” a journey into what holds us back from being everything we’re supposed to be. Enjoy!

It’s not exactly the best post of the month, but I think it was the most significant, representing the good fruit and helpful, practical reward of more than two years of work to shine the light of truth on a particularly problematic problem of deception. It was a testimony to me about how God works everything together when the time is right, for His greatest glory and what I hope is the greatest benefit for the most people.

One of my favorite posts here in July by Elizabeth has been, “I Am Free”

I thought several times about leaving a comment, but they all seemed inadequate!

This is a great idea! I am sharing what the fruit of fundadmentalism did for me. I emailed you a little bit of my story, but this is a detailed version of it.

I couldn’t get on here this morning. I guess because so many people were doing this.

The post I linked isn’t my favorite, but it is the first in a series in response to zealous, right-wing, Christian blogger who thinks the biggest enemy, or at least one of the biggest enemies to the church and society as we know it, is the gender feminist. (pro-abortion, anti-father)

I disagreed. And instead of explaining it on his blog, I decide to write about it on mine.
The post is called “Sin in the Camp”. And it’s the sins of Christians, in the form of patriarchy, legalism, and other things that will undermine the church faster than anything anyone outside the camp could ever imagine.

Thanks Elizabeth Esther for this opportunity to share.
Looking forward to viewing posts linked by other people.

Thanks for hosting this. I’m discovering some unfamiliar blogs.

Thankyou. I am looking forward to checking out everyone else’s entries

I noticed that the name of my blog did not appear with my name in the above post. It is Baptist Taliban Memoirs at baptisttaliban.blogspot.com. The link to the post I mentioned above is: http://baptisttaliban.blogspot.com/2010_07_11_archive.html

I am looking forward to discovering some new blogs to follow!

FUN! found you at jesusneedsnewpr. keep it up woman. I’m a lifelong liberal with a bunch of seriously conservative friends.

I am so excited! This is my first time to participate in the Saturday Evening Blog Post (and I’m a little nervous that I may have done it wrong).
I enjoy your blog very much and wanted to let you know that your children are beautiful!
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts!
Melissa

I’m new to your blog. What a great concept!

Hi Elizabeth,

Something seemed inoperant about your Linking system when I tried to connect my post. It’s been a number of months, so maybe I have something to relearn. In any event, the post is on my site, and the link from there to here works. Have a great weekend!
