Welcome to THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST!

This is where bloggers gather on the first Saturday of each month to share their latest and greatest blog posts. This weekend we are sharing our favorite post from September 2010!

I'll begin by sharing my favorite post from last month: Christian Zombie Bestsellers. I chose this post simply because I had so much fun interacting with some very clever peeps on Twitter. These fictional titles gave me a good laugh. I hope you enjoy them, too!

: :

Now, it's your turn!

 Here's how to participate:

  1. pick one of YOUR posts from the past month. Insert a link to that specific post (not just your home page) in The Mister Linky form here on my blog.
  2. compose a new post at your site with a link back here so your readers can participate, too. The more the merrier–it's always fun to discover new blogs!

THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST is a celebration of family-friendly art, so please no links to products or giveaways. I'm looking forward to reading your submissions! Enjoy!

    Thanks for continuing to host this. I’m contributing my recent post titled “Modesty: Femininity Deemphasized.”

    How am I #2?! It’s not even Saturday yet!

    Just kidding.

    I have posted a thought experiment/game about a village utopia. It’s an unconventional kind of post, but honestly the only interesting thing I produced this month.

    Oops!
    It’s October already, isn’t it?
    That link I gave was technically posted in October. My bad.

    Thanks for doing this, EE.

    I’m linking to a post I wrote about my adrenaline overload.

    Thanks for letting us share. I’m new at this, and it’s a little unnerving to think that someone might actually find my new blog. :) I recently wrote about saying goodbye to my daughter. I’m halfway to empty-nest and not really liking it so far.

    Mine deals with the phrase and concept “love is a choice”.

    As always, thanks for hosting, Elizabeth.

    This month I went with Only Catholics go to heaven? (http://www.ConvertJournal.com/2010/09/only-catholics-go-to-heaven.html).

    Thank you Elizabeth!

  • http://ConvertJournal.com George @ Convert Journal

    Sorry for the second comment. The link for my post (Only Catholics go to heaven?) is:

    http://www.ConvertJournal.com/2010/09/only-catholics-go-to-heaven.html

    Oddly, putting the URL in parenthesis caused the closing parens to be included in the automatic link, causing it to fail.

    The zombie post was funny. :) I’m in a writing group w/a woman writing a zombie novel, so it was especially funny to me.

  • http://www.bigmama247.com Alise

    Thanks Elizabeth!

    I decided to share my “it all comes down to this” post where I talk about hanging out with friends, football and the idea that any one choice determines everything about us.

    I’m really new at this whole blogeshere thing, so this is a fantastic idea! I posted one about reaching out to a fellow mom. Paying it forward. Thanks!

  • http://silly-bear.com Sarah@From Tolstoy to Tinkerbell

    Always, a fun time to be had reading this blog post link up especially if one is eating Mint Milano cookies whilst reading. For this month, I chose my snarky take on “How to Become an Adult in Church.”

    I just found this from reading Sarah’s blog. It love this idea. It was easy for me to pick my favourite post as it was my testimony post.

    From last month I picked one of my rare political writings on a topic that matters to me a great deal.

  • http://www.smalltownsimplicity.blogspot.com Lydia

    From last month I picked my blog on young marriage – and why it worked for us. http://smalltownsimplicity.blogspot.com/2010/09/marriedat-18.html

  • http://www.paradoxicalpen.blogspot.com Amy K Radford

    This is really fun! I decided to share my blog about how my new foray in running has bled over into other parts of my life! http://www.paradoxicalpen.blogspot.com/S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G.

    Great Idea! I’m linking to a post I wrote for a project called “The Eighth Letter – Letters To The North American Church” My letter is called “Humble Pie”

    Never done this before… Hoping my first post won’t be taken the wrong way. =)

  • http://www.quiveringdaughters.com Hillary

    Yay…love this. Thanks, E! Going to post about it…

    Hi Elizabeth! I just found your blog last week and have been enjoying it very much. I linked to a post about things mothers say about children that are not necessarily true and possibly detrimental. Thanks for hosting!

  • http://fromthepulpitofmylife.blogspot.com/ Ruth Ann

    Elizabeth, I loved your zombie post. I placed my comment about it there.

    As for what I chose for September, the choices were limited by the fact that I did just 4 posts. The one I chose was about the value of Catholic schooling, a topic near and dear to my heart.

    Better late than never, right? I totally forgot about Saturday Evening Blog Post — first time ever. I guess that means my computer is not actually super-glued to me.

    I chose to link up a post I wrote on < a href="http://joyinthisjourney.com/2010/09/do-not-worry-about-tomorrow/">the battle I’ve waged against worry. I’ve walked through one of my worst fears, and have a much more three-dimensional perspective than I did before. It’s the post that received the most comments this month, and it’s the one I poured my heart into most.

    I really wanted to link up one of my funny ones — I had so much fun with this one ,a href=”http://joyinthisjourney.com/2010/09/if-my-kids-wrote-advice-column/”>”If My Kids Wrote an Advice Column” and plan to make it a recurring series.

  • http://www.joyinthisjourney.com Joy

    Phooey! I tried to get all fancy with links and it didn’t work. Sorry about that!

  • http://www.joyinthisjourney.com Joy

    This was a great post! I’m glad I found it. (Sorry I didn’t post on your blog itself, Jenny — I couldn’t sign in for some reason.)

    How to have a disabled child: just love them like any other kid. That’s it. You could stop reading here if you wanted to since that’s my entire thesis. Or you could listen to my story.

    Still with me? Ok, look, I didn’t ask to have a son with Down Syndrome. In fact, if I was honest with myself, I probably asked God not to have any kids with “special needs”. I only knew two or three people with DS growing up and I was a little freaked out by them. I mean, they are retarded; they just sit there like some kind of lump – a nub. They’re all so awkward and uncomfortable and inconvenient. Sure, we’re all God children, and we’ll be kind to them and everything, but couldn’t they just be somewhere else, with someone else?

    What kind of insensitive jerk are you? Well, just like anyone, only more so. [...]

    Here’s mine – a satire piece written back when the whole Koran burning controversy was a-going on.

    I’d like to share my post where I talk about the pain that inevitably comes out of loving deeply.

    Thanks, EE!

    Your Christian Zombie bestsellers really made me giggle!! Funny! Umm, and did I recently see an Abraham Lincoln zombie book??? Soo strange! However, I am kind of behind in the zombie genre…having never read one.

    I sure do love reading your writing!

    My post isn’t any kind of great writing–it just made me GIGGLE as I wrote it. Those are always my favorites. The kind where I wonder, “Am I really going to post this???” But, I always do.
