Happy Monday Gang!

I hope each of you has a great day today. We all know its Monday and not many of us like Mondays but lets roll with the punches so to speak. I am filling in as the boss in my department today so I have stuff on my plate. Lets see how the coming days will unfold. The experience is something I am grateful for.

The Weather Currently

We have some nasty thunderstorms happening in Chattanooga at the moment. Heavy rains and wind. Kind of frightening if you ask me.

Read All The Posts, If You Can!

I am a avid blogger and to me reading them is a part of the two-way process of blogging. Reading every post every blogger makes is impossible. The more people that you follow the harder it is to read everything your fellow blogger posts. You can only read so much at a time. Reading a brief summary is helpful to see what interests you fully. Commenting on things you like is great because it gives good feedback to bloggers you follow. Read and write often its a good practice.

Oklahoma City Bombing, 20 Years On

On April 19, 1995, a truck-bomb explosion outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, left 168 people dead and hundreds more injured. The blast was set off by anti-government militant Timothy McVeigh, who in 2001 was executed for his crimes. His co-conspirator Terry Nichols received life in prison. Until September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil. (From History.com)

In memory of those who perished, in honor of those who live on and may it be a reminder to be vigilant and to never let such things happen again. Grace and peace to everyone today in Oklahoma City, OK.

Things Worth Blogging

I think if one is paying attention there are a lot of things in life that are blog worthy. A song, a sermon, a tree, a cup of coffee can all be worthy things to post about. It’s up to us to capture those moments, those things that make life special. Your blog is a place to curate the things in life you find sacred, lovely and uniquely you. Be the star of your own blog and share your world and thoughts.
