The biggest thing that happened around here this past month is my oldest’s birthday and high school graduation. The fact we have reached this point is incredible to me. If you want a few more details, here’s the story. I am so incredibly proud of him and plan on enjoying his presence around here as much as possible before the end of the summer.

The most popular post for this month was still the ripple pattern which makes me so happy. I’m glad people are finding it and using it. If you use it I would LOVE to see your final results. I am sure they are gorgeous! There have been a few question and answers in the comment section, so be sure to look there as well.

I also had a lot of people visit my post on quiet times over at Songs of Prayer. I love it when God shows me He’s everywhere all the time. His presence is so comforting and reassuring, and when I forget He is here it’s so much harder. One way I remind myself that he is here is by something I recently started. I am Writing the Bible. I know, it sounds crazy, but I’m almost done with Esther. Maybe Nehemiah next? Maybe the Psalms. Though I do have some questions/comments about Esther that I want to breifly cover first. Maybe that will become post material.

On two last notes, I wrapped up my series about Sabrina, and I started a new monthly giveaway. In fact, if you go over today you still have time to enter. I announce the winner Saturday and I can’t wait to find out who gets the prize. What is it? Well, the ripple pattern is a hint for you. Come on over!!!
