It is always hard to connect with other Christian bloggers in this huge Blogsphere. Here are a couple choices for you:

Michele from Life Under the Sun, is creating another network for Christian Bloggers. Just click the above image to find out all the details. I just signed up for it…and I know a couple other bloggers that are as well on the blogroll already…So, head on over. And yes – men are welcome too, as far as I can tell.

The other choice is to connect through the CWO Ring. And guess what – we hit a huge milestone this morning, but I will let Darlene announce that…Well, since Darlene mentioned it in my comments – yes the CWO Ring has now 1,000 members. The largest Christian Web Ring there is. Haven’t joined the network? Maybe it is time to connect with Christian women bloggers.

Upgraded =)

I apologize if you experienced any downtime while visiting this morning, as I was upgrading WordPress. Sting My Heart is now running on WP 2.1 =) Thankfully, no trouble was experienced; however, if you run into a page that results in an error message (which I am not expecting but just incase) – please let me know! Thank You! =)

Although Everyday Mommy has asked to put this on Thursday, but I didn’t get around to it – I am sorry…But better a day late, than never ~ right? So here it goes:

Announcing the First Annual Hidden Treasure Blog Awards. The idea is simple, to recognize blog authors of excellence, with deserving posts which may go unnoticed.

Thankful Thursday ~ Unity

Before I share my “Thankful Thursday” with you, I would like to welcome you to the ‘new’ home of Thankful Thursdays. I would like to thank Chrixean for hosting Thankful Thursdays for the past year and Running2K for coming up with the idea. I have been writing my thankful posts for quite some time; I am thrilled to be your ‘hub’ for this weekly meme. There are no rules for it, except to look around you and give thanks – for even the smallest things in your life. The two other things I am asking you: please visit all the other ladies who leave their link here, and that you add the little graphic to the posts…Questions? Just let me know, okay? Oh, BTW – I always add some Scripture passages to my post, BUT that is not a requirement to participate — just something I like to do :smile:.

“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
~ Ephesians 4:1-3 (ESV)

  • I am thankful that God gave us His Spirit of unity. There is nothing more thrilling to me to ‘talk’ Christ with my sisters (brothers?) from around the blogsphere — no matter what our denomination.
  • I am thankful for the blog-team God has put together at Laced with Graced. I know that I have said it before, BUT through that group blog, God has shown me that we do not have to ‘belong’ to the same denomination, but that we have a common denominator — Christ! And that is awesome! BTW – I don’t even know which churches my sisters in Christ attend, but I know that they all love God and call Christ their Lord and Savior. And that is the most important part to me…So thank you CJ, Ellen, Heather, Laurel, Lynn, Sissy and Tracey – you are blessing my socks off.
  • I am thankful that I am allowed to host the Thankful Thursday ‘meme’ at Sting My Heart. It is wonderful that bloggers come together and share their thankfulness. And God added even some new players to the ‘game’. Check out the blogroll here.
  • I am thankful that Darlene created a new header button for Thankful Thursday
  • And I am thankful that Daniel took us out for dinner the last couple of Mondays. With his schedule and ours, unified dinners are rare in our family. It was great to sit together and talk about his dreams and goals. And I didn’t had to cook and my Sweetheart didn’t had to clean the dishes :grin:…

What are you thankful for today? Did you play — add your link…or leave a comment.

Blessings on your day and as always…
