Friday Fave Five
You're invited to fill your cup with java (or your favorite Lenten beverage) and sip from five of the best blogs from around the 'sphere.
1. Top 100 Christian Women's Blogs
The Internet Café Devotions hosts Blessed Aroma each year. It’s a call out to blog readers to nominate their favorite blogs. Those with the most nominations have been compiled into a list called the Top 100 2009. Sister, this is the mother load! Read and enjoy.
It was an honor and a blessing to be notified by Amy Bayliss (Inspired Hearts Media) that Chrysalis was one of ten weblogs chosen in the category “Pouring Proverbs 31.” To those who voted, I want to shout a huge thank you!
I heart you THIS much.
2. "Christian Fasting—What Does the Bible Say?"
Some surprising conclusions by GotQuestions.org
3. "How the Fast of Lent Gave us Easter Egg"
"In pre-refrigeration days, it would be difficult to preserve milk and meat products until Easter, but the same was not true of eggs. Eggs, which unlike other foods do not perish quickly, were therefore a natural way to break the fast on Easter Sunday." 4. "The Spiritual Side of Sleep"
The purpose of fasting should be to take our eyes off the things of this world to focus completely on God. I have a hunch that sleeping just might qualify…
5. From Mardi Gras to Mourning: YouTube VIDEO Captures Images of Revival in Haiti
On Feb. 12 2010, President Preval of Haiti did something unprecedented. To mark the one month point after the Haiti quake, he cancelled the annual Mardi Gras celebration and called his nation to three days of fasting and prayer.
Over one million Haitians attended an epic event coordinated by some of the nation's Christian leaders. Held on the grounds of the presidential palace, the reports are significant. Produced by Loving Hands Ministry.

Priye pou Ayiti. Pray for Haiti.

CONGRATULATIONS - you so deserve this blessing - when I think of Proverbs 31 & you- two things come to mind when,
"she speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue" v 26
"give her the reward she has earned and let her works bring her praise at the city gate" v31
Oh OK 3 things cos I can't forgot this: she makes linen garments and sells them" v24 OK so may not make them but you sell them .... PINNYS :D
Love you much
CONGRATS!!!!!!! you deserve this!

I particularly liked the post about the spiritual side of sleep! It's something we neglect so much in the modern, frenetic world.
