Wowee, that is some piece of art!
I didn't even see Jesus on her lap until you mentioned it.
Ditto what Erin said.
And I'm waiting with baited blog-breath. :o)
Erin, thanks. Isn't it though? I wish I'd taken more pictures there. So many beautiful things. But I was distracted talking to the translator. :)
Kirsten... yay! I love surprises.
Interesting. You certainly have my curiosity up!flevo
i can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait!

Well I am definitely curious. The list of names makes me want to be part of it all!

So?? What's going to happen next???

Hope this one works.
Hey! I'm back in the game. Just posted my RAP.
This is my first time commenting with a link... But I realized that when you request a story about parenting or friendship and grace, I actually had a post that I just wrote a couple of days ago.
Here's the link:

Thanks so much for this chance to link up a story, my thoughts about a dear friend of mine.
God bless,

"The Etymology of Mary"

Mary's prayer became my anecdote to *feargazing*.
Here's my post: prayerhttp://www.faithbarista.com/2009/09/do-you-enjoy-fear-gazing/
Thanks!

I was inspired to write a poem by your prompt "Be real .. "
http://www.faithbarista.com/2009/10/the-bloom-of-becoming/
Thank you for the prompt.. I enjoyed a wonderful moment with God writing this post. And enjoyed having the words "Be real .. " ruminate in my spirit.
My poem responding to the "The Real" prompt: http://faithfictionfriends.blogspot.com/2009/10/real-poet.html.
My poem responding to "The Real _______":
http://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.com/2009/10/real-me-poem.html
This is the first time the real me put this stuff in a poem.
I love your invitation! I, too, have been thinking about the real thing and how to invite others to enter the great Story.
It isn't a poem; it's a dramatic sketch...

Amazing Grace is my life song. God has showered me with endless grace and mercy - we even sang it at our wedding...would love to read the book.

Late, I know, it's okay if I don't get included.
I so enjoyed the writing, and pondering,
and am looking forward to reading all of these .
You bless.
