Quotables

I've been researching some quotes for an article that I'm working on, but while doing a little blog housekeeping the other day, I found a treasure-trove a thought-provoking quotes. They were in my P31 sister's blogs. Here are some of my favorites:

Whitney Capps: I don't want to offer a dissertation on the state of America. God is displeased I think, but rather than having me shake my head or wag my finger, the Lord of Hosts is asking me to see my personal rebellion. I am responsible. America is made up of millions of evangelicals who like the American dream more than we like our Heavenly mandate.

Zoe Elmore: All of this has given me a clear picture of just how evasive and penetrating smoke can be. Who knew a small fire could create such devastation? Well, girlfriends, if smoke (even unseen smoke) can create such devastation to our home... just think of what sin (especially hidden sin) does in our lives. Get where I'm going with this?

Think God might be talking to us about holiness?

Lynn Cowell: Her whole post on getting your teens to talk to you.

Make sure to check out these posts. I'll probably give you a few more as the week goes on. Let's just say that I'm on a quest for wisdom, and Proverbs tells me that I'll grow wise if I walk with the wise!

I've also been enjoying another series of blogs that are doing 31 days of posts on change. I got to meet The Nester and her sister Emily (Chatting at the Sky) at She Speaks in two successive years. They're both irresistibly cute and amazingly talented women. Check out these blogs:
(When I copied these blogs, it didn't copy the hyper link, I've added the link to The Nester where you can start your search. But definitely don't miss Chatting at the Sky--love her)
