happy fall y’all
Happy First Day of Fall!
This is my favorite time of year – beautiful colors, pumpkin spice candles, leaves scattering in the breeze. I always feel so refreshed & renewed in the Fall. I’m going to start this Autumn renewal with a little bloggy break. Our church is spending this week in prayer & fasting – I can’t do a food fast right now, so I’m doing a blog fast instead. I won’t be posting here, or reading my bloglines, for the rest of the week. I must confess that this is a difficult thing for me- I hate to miss out on what’s going on. Precisely the reason I need to give it up!
Is there anything I can be praying for you this week? Send me an email & let me know. toombstown AT gmail DOT com
Here are some neat things going on this week in Bloggyworld. I will be joining in the fun this weekend. Have a great week!
