This week, several of our bloggers reflect on sources of inspiration in their lives. In the Southern Hemisphere, this may be the time in late winter that creates the desire to hibernate or escape until the weather has turned warmer. In the Northern Hemisphere, we’re approaching that part of summer called the “dog days” that seem to be best designed for hammock swinging and lemonade sipping. Whatever your starting point, these stories of inspiration can add a boost of energy to your routine.
Blogging at God of the Sparrow, Kathy Manis Findley shares an inspiring arrangement of a familiar hymn “Nearer My God to Thee.”
Linda Anderson-Little uses her blog, SoulStoryWriter, to introduce us to 96-year-old Mildred Winter, who launched the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program when she was a kindergarten teacher and continues to advocate to get the program into more and more schools.
Deb Mechler, who first inspired me during my seminary internship… a few… years ago, inspires our sense of humor in a recent post on her blog Saint Sinner Seeker.
