Blogs That Feed My Spirit

http://insidenancysnoodle.blogspot.com/ The same God that whispers in Nancy Kraft’s ear is whispering in mine. Nancy is an ordained minister serving Trinity Lutheran Church in Charlotte. Funny and deep, she is bold enough to question what religion has always taught us and seek the truth about a God who is too large for the boxes we build. Challenge your faith. Read Nancy.

http://www.prayingthegospels.com/ This blog by Paul Wayne Meier, pastor of St. Matthew by the Lake Lutheran Church and author of a book of prayers based on the sermons of Martin Luther, gives me rich perspective on the teachings of Jesus. Paul’s writing is gentle in spirit and filled with grace.

http://www.elizabethbradford.com/ Elizabeth’s vibrant paintings capture a world that is vanishing around us, tree by tree, barn by barn, acre by acre. She also writes about her experiences and her worldview as an artist in a way that can only be called poetic. With a few words, she can break my heart, send my spirit soaring and open my heart to a world that is far more beautiful than I ever imagined.
