I’ve been writing for (in)courage every month for years. [Literally. Years.] And I’ll tell you what. The post this month? I think it may be my favorite. [Am I allowed to say that?] Not because of the quality of writing or anything like that – I promise I am not tooting my own horn here

Today I go to Scotland.

This is my favorite picture from Scotland last year, which is why I’ve used it twice, because it says exactly how I feel about that place, even though my hair has a major swoop sitch going on. Here’s another sitch we have before us: My suitcase weighs 62.5 pounds. No bueno. And so sometime between now

Welcome to the new AnnieBlogs!

“I might have been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name.” [I feel like on a day when I launch a pretty new blog, I should start by quoting Reba. Can we all agree on that?] So if you are a google reader kind of reader, pop over today and check out

Hillsong Winners!

Congrats to these three folks for winning the Hillsong Live album! #13 : Katherine Boozer! #28 : Tess! Picked out of a ton of really legit reasons that you should get the album: TRAVIS! [You are right, Trav. You have suffered with my gal posts long enough to earn some free tunes.] The rest of
