Wednesday Festival

Needless to say, RGBP web ring has been prolific in its postings and there have been recommendations to share with you!

Do the genes/jeans have it?

First off the bat, we have all have genes - as in DNA. Who says word doesn't travel fast? The following RGBP folk have wanted to see their DNA makeup, including revabi, Cheesehead did hers because PPB did hers. Marie did hers and of course I felt compelled to follow suit so I did it too. Which led to the Vicar of Hogsmeade playing. And NotShyChiRev says "this is me". . Grace Happens says that all the cool kids are doing it, including her. Considerate Artist Sally even posted hers on her sidebar! Terrapin Station did it to be cool too, like net . Now, if you like. you can find out your DNA personality profile here.

Speaking of genes jeans, St Casserole has had her mom jeans stolen and is on a mission to find them. Can you help?

Let's move over to the shoe department ...

Katherine shares her own beauty tips with pictures of her shoes to boot (no pun intended and no boots either) She shares her good taste in shoes even before beauty tips for ministers.

************************************************
And in the generosity department....

Shannon made her Mom so proud and rightly so. Read Faith Musing's post about God's generosity in her daughter. What a shining example to us all that we may all be so generous. Shannon, my guess is that this is one of many acts of kindness and generosity you will show in your life!

In the fine arts department....
Karen's post of the poem "Ordinary Time" is extraordinary, right down to the photo that accompanies it. Stop by and check out this awesome poem by Karen.

Lorna wants to know if you see the message in this work of art. She believes God gave her a prohetic message/insight though it. Do you see it? She wants to know! She's dying to spill the beans. And if that isn't enough, she also had a GREAT surprise of visitors on Sunday! Her cup runneth over in joy!
**********************************************************
Mary Beth is just dying to tell you this..

MaryBeth writes about funerals - a lot to think about as she talks about a funeral she does NOT want and the type she is going to have! Makes you think!

Chronologically speaking...

Sally might make you think with this one in meeting God in the most unlikely of places at the most unilkely of time. Speaking of time, Cheesehead lost 42 mins and is looking to where they may have gone? Might you help her? Don't forget to read the comments..

Secret longings....
BadAlice has been reading "leisureporn" and has secret longings - Bad Alice, I have never owned egg cups, but I remember my grandmother having them.

Let's practice.....
Groaning and Grace has begun the practice of naming - she has quite the challenge .

On Friday the 13th there was a snowstorm in New York - I read this story from a perspective of a person who has never experienced snow. I am still amazed of how one must be prepared for snow during driving. This story kept me spellbound as I was trying to wear In my Lifetime's shoes/boots during this story. Read about it here.
