So much good content here, Linda. That last one about aging ... wow! Moving daily, not "fixating on" cutting out certain foods, viewing aging as a privilege ... this is all how I want to be as I get older.

I just jumped over to the stats on the piece on aging had the most clicks. I'm pretty sure that matches with the demographic. It's always interesting to see what draws people's attention ... and what hits with a thud.

Church Kitchens Getting Chopped intrigued me - as bigger churches encourage small group gatherings so that ministry doesn't just happen in a church setting - the baker in me sees that maybe it is a good thing - to sit over our own kitchen tables with food cooked from our own stoves, breaking bread with people who need the love of Jesus. Thank you for sharing the link!

Wow, Maryleigh. How many of us are hungering for this depth of connection ... and we don't even know it.

Oh my--there are more than a few that caught my eye: Invitation to Watercolor, Literary Hospitality, Platform without Pride, and Habits of Those Who Age Well. Will look forward to the wisdom and inspiration these writers have to share!

One of these days, I'd love to take up that "Invitation to Watercolor." Perhaps my granddaughters (ages 8 and 12) would like to experiment with me. The "Platform without Pride" was a bullseye. I have been in the bad habit of checking my stats several times a day, and would either be elated with better-than-average numbers, or discouraged when the number of hits decreased. I'd already decided in early March to quit this bad habit for Lent! The article confirmed the decision, and gave me more (pointed) reasons for letting go of a counter-productive practice! Now I'm checking just once per day; further whittling away may very well be in my future!
