Welcome to THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST!

This is where bloggers gather on the first Saturday of each month to share their favorite post from the previous month! Today we’re sharing our favorite post from April 2011!

This month, it’s all about you! So, here’s how to participate:

  1. Pick one of YOUR posts from the last month. Insert that specific post (not your home page) into the Linky form here.
  2. Create a new post on your blog telling your readers about THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST. Be sure to provide a link back here! It’s always fun to “meet” new bloggers.

    My post this month is a small, post-Easter piece. It’s called “Torn temple curtain“, is a news roundup set in Jerusalem in 33AD and how an imaginary newspaper might have covered local events.

    As always, thanks Elizabeth for hosting.

    I have 2 children that got married this past year and both were told to wait several years to have children. I don’t agree with that advice and I tell you why in my post!

    My article is a travelog of a beautiful drive along the Natchez Trace in Western Mississippi. I’m thankful we did it, because, by taking that detour be missed the tornados and storms that marched across Louisiana and Mississippi on Palm Sunday weekend.

    So I left you an article about modesty and about why men should quit telling women what to wear.

    b-b-b-b-but you didn’t link up YOUR favorite post!

    I linked my intro post for the Ultimate Blog Party, which breaks all the rules of parties by being too long and too serious and raising issues of religion and depression and death and basically being a real introduction instead of my best foot forward.

    I’m with Joy – where’s *your* favorite?

    I left my TS Eliot-saturated post “The Cruellest Month”, which ended up, quite unexpectedly, being about my recovery from depression and the mourning and fear that can come with leaving the darkness behind.

    “My friend, blood shaking my heart
    The awful daring of a moment’s surrender
    Which an age of prudence can never retract
    By this, and this only, we have existed”

    One of the names of God is Jehoveh-Rapha, the Lord out Healer.

    And this is who I truely believe He is.
    Too much of religion is about who is in charge of whom. And to listen to some preachers, you would think that one of the names of God is:
    ‘The Lord who makes men to rule over women’ — or some such rot.

    But I’m not just interested in the healing of women’s souls, th0ugh I make that one of the main focuses of my blog. I’m also interested in the healing of men’s souls. Because it’s wounded men that want to focus on ‘the lord who makes men to rule over women’ rather on God’s true nature, The Lord Our Healer.

    A Deeper Magic is a post about one movement among men to bring them healing. Even with it’s weaknesses and particular blind spots (that I deal with elsewhere), I appreciate any effort to bring healing to anyone, including our wounded brothers who often do what they do against women out of that wounded place of their own souls.

    I’m sharing short fiction this time. I have been thinking a lot lately about Hebrews 6 and the idea of the face of Christ that haunts you, what it would mean to one day see it and to feel only cold toward it. Some implied violence and slightly uncomfortable in parts … I’m not ending up on sale in a Christian book store any time soon. :-/

    I linked a long, meandering post from April. Somebody might find something interesting in it.

    I left a post from Good Friday. Thanks for doing this!

    Lent ran through April this year and held many surprises for me–not least of which was that I deconverted… again. What a relief! But swiftly on the heels of my deconversion posts I wrote an entry about what the resurrection can mean to a heretic who doesn’t even take the name Christian anymore.

  • http://www.madamerubies.com Heather

    I love doing this each month. Thanks!

    Hello, Elizabeth, I entered two posts from two different blogs. One is about forgiveness. I was motivated to write about that during Lent, especially after viewing PBS’s series on the topic.
    The other is a letter I wrote to my father who had his 92nd birthday in April. Although Dad is no longer living, he was quite a letter writer, so I wrote some memory filled letters to him. There are three letters, and I posted the 2nd.
    Thank you for hosting this. I always enjoy reading others’ blogs.

    After blogging as an atheist for a year or so, I began questioning my disbelief in God. This month’s post is a response to a reader who disapproves of the word “God” if not referring to an anthropomorphic being on why I think the word “God” is still relevant.

      Leah, I want you to know I’ve been praying for you. :)

    And..I am hopelessly and impossibly bad at even linking a shameless, self promotional blog post…sigh. Well…I suppose anyone who clicks on the link will see my most recent post.
    I have issues.
    Thank God for grace. (=

    A friend of mine escaped my old cult!

    I posted the one with the most comments (even though half of them are my response to others.) Even though I’ve had a blog for a number of years (it was an assignment from my boss at the time), it is only in these early months of retirement that I am actively exploring this wonderful world of blogdom. This particular post is atypical as it contains no photos – I love to use photos, but this was written for a High Calling invitational and pictures were not asked for. So…there you have it. Maybe next month (now that I’ve discovered this lovely spot), I can put one up with some color here and there. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Sharing a post on why “I Don’t Want Our Kids to Feel at Home Here…”
    Thanks Elizabeth!
    I always find some treasure in this link up…

  • http://freetoreallythink.blogspot.com/ Deb Paul

    I left a post about working myself out of a job as a mom. Hope it is helpful to someone!

  • http://www.adventuresintheordinary.com/ Jackie Sill

    I found you through Kara at The Chuppies. I am excited to look around and to read what others have to say about last month. This is a great blog hop, a little slower paced. Plenty of time to meet others and really read their hearts.

    Great tradition, this “Sat. Eve. Post.”

    Elizabeth, What a great way to read the best of what is out there. Thank you for this opportunity to participate!

    Glad I’m not the only one blogging on a Saturday night!

  • http://hippiehousewife.blogspot.com Cynthia

    Thanks for hosting! I’ve shared my entry, A God Who Sings, about a recent moment of discovering something new about God.

  • http://www.m0dernmama.blogspot.com Sarah

    I posted a piece I wrote for my mother, for Mother’s Day of course.. I love her!

  • http://thecommandmentsofmen.blogspot.com Lewis

    EE…Thanks as always.

    My post is part 1 of the personal story (which ultimately fueled my desire to start my blog), which I’ve dubbed as “The Joke Was On Me”. There are now 10 completed installments, and several more to come, although I’m taking a break from it for a bit. It’s just…raw, and…real.

    “Chasing Away the Darkness” was my favorite post of April. Leading up to Easter, I had been through a wide range of emotions. I had felt depressed, unworthy, convicted, and finally free sometime during the week of Easter. God is always faithful to allow His light to chase away the darkness that invades.

    Thank you, Elizabeth, for giving me the opportunity to link here!

    Elizabeth, I just found your blog, and linked up ‘Beauty in a Block of Granite’, but after perusing your site, and reading ‘How Mary Brought me Back to Jesus’, I’d like to post ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ — I think you might enjoy it! Thanks for the opportunity to link!
