I am so grateful as I make my way through the many rich, thoughtful, grace-filled and relationally focused posts. Thank you to each who reflected, prayed and wrote with care and a clear commitment to be positive, encouraging, and open.
I didn't have a map for this initiative. I didn't know how it would play out. I was much in prayer and even as my prayers continue .... they are giving way to peace. I'm seeing a consistent theme of vulnerability, transparency, honesty, owning our own crap, and some especially good insights shared by those who traverse these waters with great regularity. Trying to keep up with the various comment streams from the different posts, I'm sensing the contributors wanting to encourage one another, learn from one another and reach out to make new connections.
Did I already say I was feeling grateful? Well I am.
I did want to draw your attention to some contributors weighing in today - to ensure that you had the chance to read their contributions as well:
- moody blogger
- grace rules
- empire remixed
- kinnon
- box turtle
- khanya
- rising up whole
- cafe inspirado
- odd babblings
- that guy lam
- crossroads
- journeys of an academic
- ragamuffin ramblings
- gathering wool
- prickly portal
- without contradiction
There may even be a few more .... which I'll add to this post as they confirm....
I have more reading to do ..... hopefully you do too.
I have more thinking to do ..... hopefully you do too.
I have more praying to do ..... hopefully you do too.
But at this point ..... much to be thankful for.

Hi Wendy, I'm not technically savvy to understand how to alert you to a post I've written and linked here, but you can find it here: http://oddbabblings.blogspot.com/
It says I wrote my post on the 20th of June, but in fact I wrote it today on the 24th. I told you I wasn't technically savvy!

Hey there! I don't know you at all, but I just found out about this Synchroblog through other friends writing for it, and I would like to add my contribution, "On Bridge Building." You can link to it here:

Thank you for doing this!
Thanks Wendy for spearheading this. I am wondering if it might not be productive to encourage folks to synchroblog again about our reflections from reading other posts today. Or maybe others will just do that. (((((((hugs to you))))))
Odd Babble and Jimmy - you're up on the list - thanks for participating!
Christine - you're so right - it would be wonderful to hear people's reflections .... thought that may emerge a bit more organically :)
((((( back at you ))))))
I posted something. Dunno how much it will contribute. But here it is.

Thank you for this opportunity.
I have been loving reading through various posts... and seeing the comments and sharing emerge on my post as well... All of it stretching indeed as I work to bridge the gap with those near and dear to me!! ;)
I stumbled upon this through my Facebook account and didn't want to pass up a chance to post. You can find it at:
