TTFN, Ta-Ta for Now

So today brings me to the end of my blogging assignment for my professional writing class. I have had a great experience testing the waters of blogging and I have really appreciated all the thoughtful comments that people have posted. Thank you all so much for being my followers throughout this learning experience. Although the assignment is complete as of today, I may decide to keep this blog up and running. However, there will most likely be no more posts between now and May 5th. With the last week of classes approaching next week and finals week following that, I doubt I will have time to post on here. Don't give up on me though. I think I'm hooked and I have a feeling I will be back. Thanks again so much for your support. I am encouraged every time I look at my blog page and see that I have a list of "followers." So...as my Grandpa Smith and I always used to say to each other at the end of a visit, TTFN, Ta-ta for now!

Christians and Social Justice

As I was skimming through the "Recent Update" portion of my Facebook statuses this morning I ran into a post from the organization called Focus on the Family. This is a rather well known organization in the Christian world and it focuses on a great deal on living the Christian life. I stopped to read what the post said and was very interested to find that it was leading me to a blog. Apparently, the president of the organization, Jim Daly, is one of the writers on the panel for the Washington Post/Newsweek blog titled "On Faith." I had never realized this and so I was very interested to see what he had to say. With all that is going on with our government right now I thought that I would pass along Mr. Daly's words of wisdom here. Please enjoy Jim Daly's post on Christians and social justice.
