New Neighbor #45

This week's new neighbor is

Martha's Distraction

Martha (actually Kristie) is

a 40 something woman who is always trying to figure out how to be a Christian while living within American Evangelicalism.

She also homeschools her two youngest boys. That is certainly admirable! The blog tagline is

"Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus."--John 11:5 "But the Lord said to her, 'Martha, Martha you are anxious and troubled about many things...' --Luke 10:41

The blog has been around since at least 2005, based on the archives links! Also impressive. However, I'm guessing the categories listing hasn't been around that long -- there's only around 100 entries in the categories list. I suppose that could be all the posts from over a year...

The latest post claims to explain her "beef with American Evangelicalism." But reading it, I can't tell what her beef actually IS. I mean, I think she's complaining about false teachings, but is that a condemnation of everyone who tries to spread the Word? Can anyone else tell what that's about?

And if she started what she promised to start last week, well, she's ahead of me and I need to invite her over to start me going in that direction, too. I need the (my) money!

She's also got some suggestions on getting the Bible read in a year, including links with other suggestions. I did that once -- actually did it while I was on an aircraft carrier. For some reason, I found that I had plenty of time...

So hey, on this wonderful Sunday afternoon, while you're sitting around reading blogs (perhaps while watching some football), why not head on over and take a peek. You might meet someone new and find you like them. You can go now, there will be no more posts here until tomorrow morning!
