A collection of links I love, sites I like, interesting reads or cool happenings nearby.
Tears through laughter is my favorite emotion, and it's exactly what happened when I read Jen Hatmaker's "A Fake Film Crew, Armpit Paste, and Spilled Beer: A Day in the Life". Mercy, that girl is funny.
The Language of Lament by my friend Diana for Deeper Family. Suffering is hard and Diana doesn't try to explain it or deny it; she helps us see the provision for enduring.
A new-to-me blog but one I'm glad to have found, Beth Woolsey's Five Kids is a Lot of Kids; I clicked a link to her response to Kim Hall's "FYI (if you're a teenage girl)" (which I'm not linking to because the post broke the internet already) but rather than link to that, her We Do Train Wrecks Here set me to wonderin' right away. Another guaranteed smile-maker.

Have you seen The map that shows where America came from? I don't know how they come up with these things, but it's a fascinating at America's melting potness.
Short & sweet from me today; what has given you pause to wonder on the internets this week? DO share in comments!
Hi Robin! Thanks for the links. The one to Jen Hatmaker’s is broken. Off to do a google search to see if I can find it. Have a lovely day!
Robin!! (I always feel like I’m talking to myself when I reply to you :).)
THANK YOU! All fixed now and I hope you found it already; so, so funny, no matter how many times I read it.
Thanks for the link-up, friend – sweet to be in such good company, beginning with your own. :>)
Oh My Gooooodness! Thank you for sharing Jen Hatmaker! I read from top to bottom and it got funnier as I went along. I, too, was laughing so hard I cried. Makes the soul feel good.
Best!
