As I walk through the blogosphere I continue to be stunned at the wonderful posts that I encounter. Everyday I am exposed to godly women (and a few men) who are out there gettin' it done for the kingdom of God! Because being a part of the body of Christ also puts us into the family of God, I am delighted to connect with sisters (and brothers) in Christ.
Each Saturday I try to connect you lovely readers with some of the precious folks I have encountered in my bloggy pilgrim's journey, picking my way through the minefield that is this world in which we live! While we live in this world, we are not of this world. However, we are continually assaulted by the lust of the flesh, the lies of the enemy and the lure of the world. What a blessing that we can daily connect with sisters (and brothers) who lift our earthbound eyes to the heavenlies.
Melanie over at Mel's World write an extraordinary blog about faith and family. I especially love this post about training up her children in the way they should go by taming the TV monster. Take time to read this post and then read over her blog. I promise you will be blessed by the life this sister is leading and the impact she is having for the Lord.
