The link on this post doesn't seem to go to the right place. Try this one instead.
I have to say, the second link is more practical than the first. ;) I appreciate the thoughts shared in both your blogs.

MN ends up being more of a converstaion.

So I gradually dropped the blog. Of course that meant that people gradually stopped dropping by.
So maybe I need to set myself a goal of doing more writing.
i'm glad you thought of this thread. hopefully, each will help the other for you. and others.

it reminds me of the thread i tried to begin for those with websites, but, it was not welcome.
i'm not sure why. if someone else wanted to begin such a thread anew, i would like that, too.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Just post in both places. If you use Facebook, post it there too.

Mennonite World Review is looking for more conservative bloggers (and all bloggers) who would like their posts to be syndicated in MWR. I think your blog would be a great candidate for that.

I've given that link to all my daughters and daughter in law. They all love it. It might even help you fathers understand your wives a bit better.
Wow, thank you, Mr. B! That is a wonderful compliment. I have a blog entry brewing in my brain after a long period of no contributions, but I don't know when I'll have time to dash it off. I have very little margin in my life these days.

Wonderful, Lester. Both posts you linked here gave me some things to think about and I very much enjoyed them. The Mary vs Martha post will warrant some self-examination...rightfully.

This is our blog related to Bible translation among the Enga people of Papua New Guinea.

Users of MN might enjoy reading the following two posts in particular, which incidentally were written before I started down the path of becoming a Kingdom Christian (although looking back I see that God was at work in my heart before I even knew in what way He was leading me).

Shaking Hands with the Enemy

Repay Evil with Blessing

Another post you might enjoy reading is:

Well it's not a blog but I write a newsletter about our work in Mexico on Google Groups. A fellow MN member suggested I post a link here so here goes.

I believe you need a Google account to sign up but I may be wrong. I am new at this kind of writing and I welcome input from successful bloggers. I tried a WordPress blog but it felt too complicated and some people couldn't see the pictures I posted so I switched to Google Groups. But now some people have trouble signing up if they don't have a Google account.

You can enter any email address. I run four different google groups. Normally people email me and ask me to sign them up. That works fine. Or you can email them an invite and they can click on a link to sign up.

Just putting in a shameless plug for a new blog that a very special lady has started up, primarily related to food, that I think some of you may enjoy. :)
