If I had to recommend just one blog...or three

I'd recommend:
Ann Voskamp's blog A Holy Experience. Well-written, spiritually nutritious, honest, always with inspiration, or food for thought.  Her mind and style is more “feminine” than mine, and I sometimes restlessly skim the lead-in to “the meat,” but she’s the real thing.
Her book One Thousand Gifts is possibly the most life-changing book I’ve ever read.

If I had to recommend one blog full of practical, inspirational tips to tweak your life, and be more efficient and productive and practical and use time better and be fitter and you know…
I’d recommend Lifehacker.
My husband, Roy reads it regularly, perhaps more regularly than he reads mine, but in the interests of marital harmony, I’m not going to interrogate him on this.

If I had to recommend one amazing and amusing blog written by a non-Christian, I guess I would choose Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish. It reflects Sullivan’s mind--lively, many-sided, bits of poetry, lots of news, lots of astute analysis, interesting visuals, vlogs, unpredictable. He covers a dizzying variety of stuff every day, and is considered the world’s best blogger.  He’s gay, and probably an atheist, but that wouldn’t faze Jesus, or prevent him enjoying Andrew’s fertile, energetic mind—and it doesn’t faze me. I am rather fond of this blog.

If you had to recommend one, or three…which would they be?

  2. Yes, she writes so well. I skim the warm-ups, and linger over the meat:-)

  3. My current favorites are I'm an organizing junkie at www.orgjunkie.com and moneysavingmom. I find both to be really useful and in the case of orgjunkie, just beautifully designed. Very useful and applicable content for me.
