I have been tagged by Adam for a meme to post some of my favorite posts from other blogs.  Here are the rules!

1.  List at least two posts (with links) that have resonated with you.  Do not include your own posts!
2.  Give a brief explanation why you like the post.
3.  Tag four other people.

Sarah, Cambodia and Change
To say that I liked this post would not be doing it the justice it deserves.  It reached me in my hidden levels of emotion; the one that doesn’t see much daylight.  I read through every post that David wrote about Sarah and her battle and I “felt” for her.  This final post represents a happy ending; what can happen when the storm passes and you still find God there with you.   It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words but that is short-changing this picture, this woman, and her strength. 

Finding Him In Unexpected Places
For those of you who don’t know Rachel, she is an outstanding artist, a minister and a great friend.   It is clear that this painting was meant to happen and the message that goes with it, “All I need to completely change my life has already taken place – in the space of one weekend” is inspired.  I was moved by this painting and I am happy that she allows the Spirit to work through her art as well.

Human Tetris
I don’t think that I have laughed that hard in a long time.   Sometimes the more mindless something is, the better it is for your Spirit.   Thanks Glenn!

Luke 15 Reflections
This was a huge reminder to me of how far Christianity still has to go.  It is amazing to me that as “Christians”, we can still claim Jesus and yet look down upon a segment of society.  Truly, in many cases, the worth of the 1 is determined by the 99.  It is also sad that there are some who still wear more than one face.

Now I tag:

Rachel (HA!! I beat you this time)
Isaiah
Happy
Glenn
