Loyal commenter no. 3

By Monica Brand, 27 March, 2009, 2 Comments

From her website:

I challenge all of you to pray daily about how your voice, gifts and talents can best be used. Your voice and ministry may not be the same as mine but we all have gifts and talents that God will use if we allow Him to.

Amen, Mel! Very well said.

Mel blogs about politics from a Christian perspective, a fact that amazes me. Not the Christian part, I’m down with that no problem; it’s the political commentary. I’m not much for blogging politics, so I’m glad Mel has it covered at her site.

Thanks for being a loyal commenter here, Mel. Keep up the great work at A Voice for Moms.

Spam this blog

By Monica Brand, 3 February, 2009, 16 Comments

We bloggers hate spam. You know, all those comments that are just ads for gross websites or links to lure you to junk. Ick. Spam is nasty.

But here’s what I’m thinking…

I want you to spam this blog.

Maybe you are a regular commenter to this blog with a good following of your own…

Or a newbie trying to build an audience…

I want you to drop your link in the comments with a explanation of who you are, what’s on your heart or what’s coming out of your head.

Tell us: What’s your blog about?

I want to add you to my Google Reader.

Ready?

This should be fun…

Go!

No frills end-of-the-summer link love and blog round up

By Monica Brand, 29 August, 2008, 5 Comments

June was the last time I did the no-frills blog round up. It’s not that I haven’t been reading your blogs – no, look at my laundry pile, evidence I read too much – I’ve been too lazy to piece the post together. I like doing the round up, I like the feeling of introducing my readers to others. Kind of like a meet and greet social club. I think from now on I’ll do this twice a month, so I don’t feel like I have to do it every week and get overwhelmed.

So from my Google reader to you, I give you my favorite summer content.

Writer-Mama’s back-to-school giveaway. Lots of books for the (mommy) writer.

Kristen of We are THAT family is helping a family who fled their Russian homeland due to their faith in Christ.
