THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST, vol. 3, issue 9

Posted on September 30, 2011 by elizabeth

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 month we’re sharing our favorite post from SEPTEMBER 2011!

I’ll begin my sharing my favorite post from September: Apologizing to my Gay Neighbors. I chose this post because it reflects how love and forgiveness have been changing my heart and perspective. I have so much to learn on this spiritual journey called life–I hope my small steps inspire you, too.

Now, it’s your turn! Here’s how to participate:

  1. Pick one of YOUR posts from the last month.
  2. Insert the link to that specific post(not your home page) into the Linky form here.
  3. Spread the word. Share The Saturday Evening Blog Post on Facebook, Tweet about it, or write a new post on your blog encouraging your readers to come join the party! The more the merrier! It’s always fun to “meet” new bloggers.

The Saturday Evening Blog Post is a celebration of family-friendly art and writing. Please no links to products or giveaways. Thank you.

    This month’s entry is a letter I wrote to a friend, responding to an invitation to visit church, on why I just don’t think that is going to happen soon!

    That was a great post, Elizabeth.

    I’ve been blogging through my journey to healing from a painful past in the church.  The post I shared was the conclusion of that story.  Thanks, Elizabeth!

  • David Bates

    That was actually kinda hard, selecting my “favourite” of my own posts. In the end I just picked the one that I was most relieved to have out of my head once I had written it!

    Ooops, I linked to myself twice (I’m John Stonecypher).  I’m apparently still getting the hang of these new-fangled widgets and whatsits.  Why, in my day, we just wrote pure HTML and posted it on Geocities with the default gray background, and to FTP, we had to walk 2 miles uphill both ways, and by gum, that’s the way we LIKED it!

    Sometimes fiction is an excellent way to deal with things. And one of my September posts links to the fictional story of the let down a person  could feel  when a cultic prophecy they believed in concerning ‘the end’ prove to be false.

    I only started reading your blog a couple of months ago, and I’m so glad I found it.  I loved that post you chose. 

    I had a hard time choosing between the happy-positive marriage post and the flip side I also wrote about unhappy couples.  Both the happy and tragic have been on my mind this month as way too many couples we know are actively in the separation/divorce process. 

    It’s fun to be linking here for the first time!

  • Emily

    My first time participating. Woo! :) Emily

    I am really appreciating your blog, Elizabeth!

    Funny story: I linked to your post on Twilight on my Facebook page, and one of my commenters said something like “is this the new feminism — puritanism?!” I thought that was hilarious…

  • http://www.OctoberAlways.com Sarah

    New to this, but a reader for a few years! :-) I’ve commented once or twice. Thanks!

  • Tammy Skinner

    Just linked up for the first time! :)

  • http://aloveaffairwithwords.blogspot.com Jenn

    Linked for the first time. And possibly commenting for the first time, though I’ve been a blog stalker here for a while. Thanks!

    On 9/13/2001 I thought we were a better people and a better nation than, as it turns out, we are. I posted my thoughts written on that date.

  • Practicing Mammal

    From a very slim pickings for the last month as we have been on a big family History Holiday.  Getting back into home life.

    Thanks for the opportunity to link up here! I appreciate it!

  • B. Rose

    Thanks for the linking opportunity! 

  • Joy

    I had to link one of my husband’s guest posts plus one of my own. He’s just so darn funny. :-) (and he wrote about being married to a blogger)

    I wrote about living life without masks, and how healing it is to stop pretending.

  • http://papuagirlindallas.blogspot.com Kacie

    I linked to my life blog on grappling with 9/11 as a cultural outsider, and on my theology blog I linked to my blog asking how Catholics want Protestants to talk to them about faith.

    Thank you for hosting this!  I linked to my post re: my acceptance of my role as a work-outside-the-home-mom (WOTHM)

    Thanks for continuing to host this!

    i definitely appreciated your post about your neighbors and your humility in writing it. it was a redemption story.

    thanks for curating this collection of posts:)

  • Calee

    Thanks for hosting this!
    I linked to a post about why I write for kids :)

  • http://demandablueblog.blogspot.com Amanda

    I linked up with a post that was kind of controversial!

    Thanks, Elizabeth!  I’ve shared my poem, “If I Err (Let it be in love)”, in response to the many blog posts I’ve been coming across lately that suggest Christians are being “too compassionate” in how we relate to others.

  • Connie

    I’d suggest calling the first field Post Name instead of Your Name…I’m more likely to click on the name of a (hopefully) interesting post than I am on someone’s name. Just sayin’. Thanks for the opportunity to share my blog. :)

    Thanks for hosting this Elizabeth! 
    My pick this month was an easy choice. 

  • http://delesmuses.blogspot.com/ Jenny

    That was my intent. I wish that there’s a way to undo a post so that it can be corrected.

    Tweeted it!  Love this!
