Super Simple Spiritual Sunday Edition No. 8

Super Sim­ple Spir­i­tual Sun­day Edi­tion No. 8

It has been a few weeks since I’ve had time to pub­lish this weekly round-up of great arti­cles! After Labor Day, my life, like so many other folks’, becomes extremely busy, leav­ing me long­ing for the long days and slower pace of sum­mer. From now until the New Year, the pace is hec­tic, some­times fre­netic, with blog­ging rel­e­gated to the “when I can” cat­e­gory. I know that many of you can relate.

• So it is fit­ting that the first arti­cle I rec­om­mend to you this week is “A Day of Rest” from Becca of Becca’s Byline. Becca dis­cusses just what I described — a Sun­day punc­tu­ated by activ­i­ties — that leaves her won­der­ing what hap­pened to the day of reju­ve­na­tion most of us knew as a child.

• My friend Tami at The Next Step once again wrote elo­quently, beau­ti­fully, and from her soul in “Tak­ing Our Breath Away.” You know a writer is truly tal­ented when they can tran­scend your orig­i­nal dis­agree­ment with their cen­tral the­sis, leav­ing you in breath­less awe at the sheer power of their words.
• Jeff pro­vides some much-needed per­spec­tive with “Hal­loween: The Christan’s Sec­ond Most Impor­tant Hol­i­day.”
• Unde­cided about whether to allow your chil­dren to par­tic­i­pate in Hal­loween activ­i­ties? This arti­cle might help: “Chris­t­ian Hal­loween: All Hocus Pocus?”
• Etta at J Boys Mommy updated her dis­cus­sion of why we blog in “Blog­ging: What is Your Moti­va­tion?” It is worth a read and may inspire you to do a lit­tle soul-searching regard­ing your own reasons.
• In a sim­i­lar vein, Sarah ques­tioned whether blog­ging could become an idol in “Those Sneaky Idols.”
• Sandy Carl­son is the kind of teacher I want in charge of my kids’ edu­ca­tion. Check out “Blog Your Bless­ings: Harold the Pimp” to see why.

Have a won­der­ful week!
