    Congratulations, E.G.!

    E.G. has won the $99 Peacemaker Group Study from my Tennessee event last week! Congratulations and God bless you! Yours, Tara B. PS  Did anyone else have a horrible night of sleep last night? My cause was worry–which is so ungodly, I’m ashamed to even admit it. Tried to pray. Mostly just laid in bed wanting to sleep, but unable. Bummer. Now I feel BLECH heading into my day. Oh well–some days are just like that. Good to know that this will not last forever. And hoping that you all slept MUCH better! Happy Tuesday–tkb

(I’m still working through reading all of the beautiful cards.) But I just had to say a heartfelt thank you … April ended up being a much more expensive month than we had anticipated–and when I told Fred from the airport last night of your generous gift, he marveled too. Thanks for blessing our family!   With love, Tara B.

    (For Andree) … AMEN!

    Just read Andree Seu’s, “Amen! Preach it!”–an article to which I WISH I could link (like I used to link to her writings ALL the time, but now I can’t because World Mag is charging for online viewing now)–and I just have to SHOUT, AMEN! Once again, Andree reminds us that we are called to, “lean hard against losing Christ in Christian traditions.” That knowledge does not save us. And knowing a lot about God is not the same thing as knowing God. (Only, of course, SHE says it MUCH, MUCH better.) “This is a paean to all the folks who praise at inappropriate times. They know no compartments between…

    “Saving Face or Saving Grace” by Ken Sande

    (Do you subscribe to “Peace on Earth”–the enews publication by Peacemaker Ministries on international peacemaking? It’s a keeper and I encourage you to check it out! Here is just ONE of the articles from today’s issue …) SAVING FACE AND SAVING GRACE: MY PEACEMAKING EXPERIENCE IN TAIWAN by Ken Sande, President of Peacemaker Ministries A dear friend of mine has a medical condition that causes the buildup of toxins in her body.
