Monday Whatevers
January 31, 2022
Hello, Friend!
It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us.
Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.
Blessings,
Marcie

Thank you so much for the post today, especially for the hymn links. Although the music may not be the same, many of the names are. For a little girl growing up in the Assembly of God church, the old hymns are so missed in the churches of today. I will enjoy listening through the list 🙏🏻🤍💚
HOOOWWW do you curate?!? Because there is soooooo much to choose from!
