25% of 2021 is gone.
Kaput. Said and done. Completed.

While I'm taking a bit of a breather from writing, I'm leaving you with the three lengthiest dialogues we've indulged in so far this year. I think they're worth a re-read, each for their own unique reasons.
But mostly because you guys absolutely sparkle with deep faith, insight, empathy, humor, experience, vulnerability, tenderness, creativity, wisdom, quirkiness, opinions, kindness ... and these attributes faithfully show up as we interact with each other, week in and week out.
Iron sharpens iron, and this biblical truth has led us to become trustworthy friends who spur each other on toward love and good deeds {Proverbs 27:17 & Hebrews 10:24}.
Each of us is invited to bring our authentic selves to the virtual table that bloggers call 'the comments.' If you're a regular around here, chances are you'll find your own very special, unique imprint in one or more of these lively conversations.

God has shaped us all to do life in community with like-minded sojourners. Your voice matters as it adds to the harmony, the purpose, the love that He's designed us to share as we continue onward and upward.
And yes, there is definitely more room at the table. Always.
