The "Nice Matters" Award

My friend, CJ, at www.imperfectchristian.com/public/ has given me a wonderful gift, the "Nice Matters" award. You may recall that CJ and her son have been going through a very difficult time in their lives, so I ask that you continue to keep them in your prayers.
"This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those
who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive
influence on our blogging world. Once you've been awarded please pass on to
seven others whom you feel are deserving of this award".
So, without further ado, I am hereby awarding the following fellow bloggers with this kind and thoughtful award:
1). Darlene at www.christianwomenonline.net or www.darleneschacht.com/blog.html
2). Barbara at www.beingbarbara.com
3). Jules at http://macedwithgrace.squarespace.com/mwg-the-blog
4). Deb at http://catholicconvert.wordpress.com
5). Shawnda at http://james127.blogspot.com
6). Ann at http://annb1129.blogspot.com
7). Jeff at http://www.thinksink.blogspot.com
And, of course, there are my other friends: Nettie, Stacy, Kevin, Gina, Gayla, Mrs. D., Sarah, Rebekah and her parents and her little sister, Vicki, BWH and Echotig, Carol, and so on, who are some of the nicest people I've ever "met". So, consider yourselves awarded, too! I would have also awarded Paula at www.paulaswalk.com this award, but CJ had already given it to her!
I hope all of you have a great week. DQ starts back to school tomorrow, and TP is returning from Michigan today and will (hopefully) start a new job soon as an ABA instructor for an autistic child. I will start back to a regular blogging schedule after I'm done with my garage sale this coming weekend! Love to you all. . .
