Ladies
- SheShe is a dear friend that I use to go to church with in Oklahoma. I have a lot of respect for her. She and her large family are an excellent resource if you are interested in learning what adoption is about from a Biblical perspective.
- Connie is another dear friend that I use to go to church with in Oklahoma before we moved to Arkansas. I love this lady and she also has a wealth of information regarding adoption and sound doctrine.
is a sweet friend that makes me laugh. I am so blessed to have her in my life.
I can't help but love Carla even though I have never met her personally. She's a hoot, she boldly speaks the truth out of love and also runs an on-line store that has some really cool stuff. She wrote some very informative posts at the Emergent No blogspot that provides info on the EC movement.- Kim, Libbie, and JoythruChrist are ladies I have grown to know through blogging and not only are they HILARIOUS but they make you think Biblically from a women's perspective. I also can't help but love these women even though I have never met them personally. Don't miss out.
- Kim at Hiraeth is new to my links page. I am excited to add her. She has quite the reputation for having an excellent blog. I look forward to "getting to know her."
- Girl Talk is definitely one of my top-pick blogs for women. A must read that I try to visit daily.
- Katy
- Amy
- Gayla
- Heather
- Rebecca and Tulip Girl are blogs run by ladies I learned about from Challies and Carla. Great stuff there.
- LaShawn Barber runs a blog I visit occasionally. There is something about that woman... besides the fact that she's smart, she's just a wealth of information on a variety of topics. However, she allows comments that are a bit over the top. She can be very up front and sometimes harsh, but most of the time she'll make you think.
- Solo Femininity is an EXCELLENT site for all women. Especially singles. Go check it out.
- Diane is one of those kind and encouraging women that also makes you think Biblically. Someone I would love to meet and give a great big hug.
- KIM: This is a young lady that attends a solid church in Arkansas. She lives only 4 hours away. She has a beautiful testimony that inspired THIS post. Her blog is called Lifesong where she writes I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory.
- Rebekah has a blog called Sweet Tea with Lemonade of which she explains: Sweet tea because life is so sweet in the Lord, and lemon because we live in a fallen world with some tart or bitter things, and as we learn to glorify Him even in the trials, He grants us the faith to persevere and mature into something beautiful.
- Jill: She looks like a fairly new blogger but I couldn't help but find her "About Me" incredibly sweet where she writes I have simple goals. To be obedient to my God. To be the best wife to my wonderful husband. To be a caring, nurturing mother. To teach my children diligently. To be loving, gentle, kind, tenderhearted, faithful, joyful, peaceful, good, and self-controlled. That sounds simply enough. With God's help I succeed, without it I fail.
- Kristina runs a blog that posts some REALLY YUMMY looking recipes that I am sure to try plus she LOVES the Lord.
- Heather, who writes I am a husband loving, child adoring, homeschooling, grace-based parenting, nature loving, organic gardening, flip flop wearing, wheat grinding, bread baking, art enjoying, music loving, free thinking, God worshipping, prayer believing, status quo challenging, whole-food eating, home loving, always questioning, truth seeking, Jesus loving, blessing claiming, over analyzing, continually growing, Scripture studying, overcoming, ever wondering Daughter of the King, wife to one wonderful & wacky husband, and mommy to 2 lovely & lively princesses (and a crazy beagle too!).
The following blogs are run by ladies that I am getting to know through blogging. I appreciate their occasional visits and comments here. They all seem so sweet and I look forward to getting to know them better, God-willing.

- Steve Camp: I consider Mr. Camp a friend and brother in Christ. The majority of his posts on his blog are thought-provoking and excellent. However, I do not condone his confrontation style when handling proven brothers in Christ. He did recently write an update on a post about Mohler in which he sincerely apologized for being too harsh. I am humbly grateful that he has done this and pray that if he confronts well-known brothers in Christ in the future that he reflects on what the Lord impressed on his heart through this later conviction.
Other Links
In a category all its own
He makes me think and sometimes he hurts my brain... Other times he posts things I don't know WHAT to think. He's definitely a nut but I can't help but like the guy. That's why he's in this category.

The following blogs and links I leave on here for convenience for myself. I do not endorse most of these sites mainly because I have not visited all of them. So click with caution.
