Stellar Posts Worth the Read

I read a number of blogs on a regular basis. On a  week like this when I went three days without reading or writing any posts, there was a lot to catch up on!

Several posts I came across were dynamite! Stellar posts, worth your time!

So I wanted to share a few . . .

• One of my old Worship/Youth Pastors is starting to “Read Through the New Testament in 90 Days” starting Monday. He’s encouraging others to join him. Since I’m woefully behind in my “read through the Bible this year” plan, I figured this will motivate me to at least finish the New Testament! And I’m encouraging others to join! He’s included the reading schedule in his post and he will be blogging about his reading as he goes.
• World Magazine had an incredibly encouraging article entitled “The Next Thing.” Here’s an excerpt: “. . . the future is God’s, not mine; mine is only the present moment. I am fearful because I’m thinking I have to live the rest of my life. But I don’t. I only have to live the next five minutes. To me belongs obedience; to Him belongs outcomes.” [Emphasis added.] I really need to remember this concept at a time in life when I feel inadequate for the tasks before me and struggling to “keep up.”
• On a much more mundane note, college football season has begun, and these dips (posted by Amy at The Finer’s Things) look really yummy! (Of the three posts I’m recommending, skip this one if you only have time for two. 🙂 I wanted to include one post that was a little “lighter.”  . . . Although when you look at the ingredients in these dips, I’m not sure they can be classified as “light.” 😉
