Blessed or Stressed?

Susan Panzica, over at Eternity Cafe, asked me to announce a series she's doing on her blog called, "40-Day Focus." During this Christmas season, it's easy to get wrapped up in the preparations and forget the essential truth of Jesus' birth.

Susan asks, "How will your next 40 days be spent? Blessed...or stressed?"

Take a break from the holiday craziness, and read her inspiring posts.

Write Now - Contest

Normally, I would post this information in my Friday Round-Up, but my week got turned upside down. :) My friend, Karen Lange, over at Write Now, starts a contest today for Kim Vogel Sawyer's book, "Field of Grace." It will run until October 22, 2009. For details, pop over to her blog and enter.

CONTEST DEADLINE EXTENDED

As most of you know, my computer is in the shop. I'm working from a library computer. Since the library is closed tomorrow (Sunday), I'm extending the deadline on the drawing for Jean Fischer's book, "The Kids Bible Dictionary," from tonight at midnight to Monday, 9/28/09, at midnight. The winner will be announced on the blog on Tuesday, 9/29/09 and notified via email.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I expect to have my computer back later today, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Special Note

Mom and I have the opportunity to get away for a couple of days. With all that's been happening, I desperately need some down time.

Wednesday's post will be up as usual, but comments won't be moderated until Thursday night. If I can do so, I'll moderate them from the road.

Blessings,

Susan :)
