“The RoseBouquet”

As I mentioned last week, I am the Storyteller who does the continuing missionary story at VBS this week. The directors have been kind enough to excuse me right after the chapel time is over, so I really only have to give up about an hour and a half of my mornings, including travel time. That means of course, my blog and article writing hour is affected, but I make sacrifices in other spots to catch up.

You know, I tell God almost every day that I want to be a generous Giver like He is. He doesn’t expect me to give out of what I don’t have, but when I considered this - I knew it was in my power to give this gift of time, and in trying to do it without complaining, I’m finding that I am walking this week on a cloud of contentment.

Site renovations progress?

Yes, they are coming along. I’m checking every renovated page and link now on the Ruthes-SecretRoses.com site, but there are still 3 folders to deal with; I don’t know how long those will take.

On the BouquetofEnterprises.biz site I’ve done a Xenu link check, which has come up with far more links than I knew I had! I’m fixing some errors, and then I’ll use the good links to create a sitemap that hopefully will get a nod from Google. Then that hour every morning will become a heavy-duty marketing and promo hour! I’m looking forward to it.

Besides all this, I’m excited about helping a client set up a recipe/cookbook site on my hosting service. You can be sure I’ll make an announcement when it is ready for you to visit!

To squeeze in an article for this issue, I’m sharing a summary of the Amy Carmichael story with you, the one I’m telling at VBS. You may, or may not be aware of her very daring life.
