Link Love

Well, here goes nothing! My first attempt at making this blog not just about Leighton. Although, it will still revolve in large part around her.

Because, let's face it, she's adorable. And always keeping things 'round here interesting. 

Like this week she is cutting two new teeth, saying "no, no, no," and purposefully dropping things so she can say "uh oh." It's all adorable. Except maybe the "no, no, no."  Moving on.


In the passed couple of weeks I have run across some things on the internet (via friends, family members, random blogs I stalk follow) some very interesting, enlightening, encouraging things. None of them have much, if anything, in common. But they are all good. So, in no particular order, a fruit salad of links I love lately:




Ok, I HEART David Platt, (and not just because he shares my maiden name but that does make him even more awesome, of course) especially his book, Radical  but seriously, this is the best thing I have heard in a long time, or maybe ever. PREACH, David. 


I do love me some Hunger Games, friends. Here is an interesting point of view on how the plot (according to the author) "is like a highway with plenty of 'exits' pointing to spiritual issues." I was really only thinking mostly about the political issues when I read it, if I am honest. 


Sweet mom friends who feel a little inadequate most of the time (like me), come. Sit a spell. And read this. Feel better now? Me too.


And finally, all women of the world...eh, who stumble across this post... watch this. (Warning: the guy is a little eccentric but the message is fantastic.) 

Since typing the words "fruit salad" my tummy has been grumbling. Off to the kitchen I go. Not too much longer until nap time is over and this little watermelon wakes... 

  
See, there I go again with the fruit.
