Blogaholics Anonymous

I'm a blog addict, an information junkie. I read decorating blogs, home organization blogs, adoption blogs, political blogs - anything that makes me learn or think or laugh or grow. Here's a smattering of posts I've enjoyed lately. Disclaimer: By posting these links, I'm not saying I endorse all the views expressed; but I am saying they made me think.

It's Safe to Get Rid of Old Trophies - wisdom for clearing the clutter in your home.

A Critique of Saddleback Church's Recent Orphan Summit - As Christians work together to care for the world's orphans, it's important that we fact check:  both the facts about the world's orphan crisis and the facts about what the Bible says in regards to it.
