What better time to change things up around here than the first week of September? Just a wee tweak to my blogging schedule -- as of today, I'm adding Sundays to the mix. Twice each month I'll be linking over to Her View from Home, a great new website based right here in Nebraska.
The other two Sundays each month you'll find a slice of quiet here, a photo and verse with Sandra's and Deidra's communities.
So my posting schedule will be Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Sunday. How's that work for you? Okay, good, I was hoping so!
Here's today's post: My Place on the Great Plains
“What’s your absolute favorite place, Mommy?” he asks, as we sit at the kitchen counter with our toasted bagels and sliced strawberries. When I tell my seven-year-old son that I don’t think I have one absolute favorite place, he’s nothing short of horrified.
“What? Not even the cabin? The cabin’s my absolute favorite place,” says Rowan, referring to our family
cabin on the North Shore of Lake Superior. “You need to find your favorite
place.”
...Will you join me over at Her View from Home, where I am writing about faith and place today?

Hi Friend - I love your new cover photo, too :)
Thank you! I sort of didn't want to change it out, but since Rowan is now 7 (and not 2, as in the picture), I thought it might be time! ;)
That photo is spectacular. Most people who drive across Nebraska are numbed by I-80. It's flat. It's straight. It's boring. But really, the "Plains" states are far from "Plain." Thanks for showing us the other side!
This is really beautiful, Michelle.
There was a Caedmon's Call album, "40 Acres," with this quote in the liner notes: "But to us who are weary and broken, the God of redemption gives the plains, and a view of the land that we have yet to claim, yet to sow, yet to reap."
