2 Writing Opportunities from Network Blogs

by Anonymous

Now that another year is in our rear view mirror, it's a good time to do some reflection. That's really what New Year's Resolutions are about anyway. In order to make a resolution, you have to reflect on where you've been for a year. That reflection is just as valuable as the resolutions themselves, I think.

May I suggest a resolution for high calling bloggers in the next few weeks? Participate in one or both of these self-reflection writing projects from Robert Hruzek of Middle Zone Musings and David Rupert of Red Letter Believers .

Robert (and Santa Einstein) invite the network to join Blogapalooza 2008 :

...looking back at your archives, you’ll choose one post from every month you’ve been blogging in the year 2008 .

So how do you choose? Well, the question you have to ask yourself is, what was the most amazing, moving, profound, surprising, insane, whacky, or whatever thing you learned in the month of March? How about July? Anything in October?

David invites the network to join Taste and See :

Listen to the news or read the papers, and it hasn’t been such a hot 12 months on a number of fronts. But we know that our God isn’t one constrained by the latest economic or political news. He’s not one to wait till consumer confidence picks up. He’s the same today, yesterday and forever.

So, in what ways has God blessed you this year? Perhaps this year has been one of loss for you: a home, a job, or a loved one. How have you found blessings in your brokenness?
