No blogging break at least right now. Let me know if there is something wrong on my side if you don’t get them in Feedly. I messed with my blog this week – really messed it up for awhile. Still not completely back to normal. grrr technology. Have a great weekend

I am learning by writing this series, Martha. Not my strong suit – been a real theme this year with my Tending the Holy Thursday – to dig into areas I am not naturally gifted in. Have a great weekend.

Too many people drain my energy. People can be difficult.” Even yesterday I was reminded how I do need community: on Wednesdays I usually partner with a friend to deliver meals, and when she can’t come, I get someone else to help. Well, yesterday I had to do it alone, and it felt very, well, lonely. She will appreciate hearing how much I missed her because she knows I’m an introvert. 🙂

Oh, and hmmm…I thought you were taking a blogging break because your posts haven’t been showing up in my Feedly reader this week. I’ll have to go check into that!

But it’s something we all must have as Christians to grow in our faith. I’m definitely downloading the PDF you shared here, Jean, and am looking forward to this series you’re presenting here. Blessings!
