The 11th Hour

“And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’” ~ Matthew 20:6-7

Some of us are ‘life-long’ Christians; some of us wander off to see what else is out there (people like me). Others don’t trust in the Lord for salvation until the 11th hour…

Laced with Grace Blogroll

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
~ Philippians 4:4-6 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

I have mentioned it often this year…”I am glad when this year is over”…No, I am not going to whine again, but this year has been something else…

If you have ‘applied’ to be on the Laced with Grace Blogroll, please be patient — I am not ignoring your messages. The service I have been using over the last two years (Blogrolling.com) has been down since October 17th. Although it is still displaying our blogroll at LWG, I can not edit/or add any new blogs.

What does this mean? I have to start from scratch 😥 …I can not even access our account to download the blogroll…So, now I am adding every single blog manually to our ‘inside’ blogroll. No more outside stuff. Thanks to Laurel, I have a plugin that will help me add the blogroll to the sidebar. It will look a little different, but I think it will be better in the long-run.

You know, sometimes I feel like giving up, but Philippians reminds me that I should rejoice…And rejoicing I am. You see, now I can go through our 200+ blogs on the blogroll and remove any that are ‘dead-links’ 😛 …

Thanks for listen, and especially your patience…

Sometimes A Whisper

***Scroll down for Thankful Thursday***

“And he said, ‘Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.’And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.” ~ 1 Kings 19:11-12 (ESV)

We live in a fast-passed world. We strive to be connected to our family and friends 24/7, 365 days of the year…
