Are you a blogger, want to start blogging or love to read blogs? All Campus Crusade for Christ women attending CSU are invited to meet with a number of authors and bloggers at an informal meet-and-greet on July 20, 2011, in The Rim coffee shop in the basement of Durrell. You can ask one of your staff sisters about her blogging ministry, find someone who’ll come alongside you and help you get started with a blog or meet face-to-face with that new friend you made in the blogosphere. Drop in anytime between 3:30 and 5:00.
Here’s selected posts based on themes from some of the bloggers who will be at the meet-and-greet . My prayer is that these thoughtful posts will bless you during our time together in Colorado. (I also have more posts on this month’s shared reader.)
CSU
- Barbara helps us prayerfully examine our attitude
- Love & Hate & CSU by Cas
- Since we’re giving away a Kindle for the meet-and-greet, read how their Kindles saved the day for Keith and Kay during the earthquake in Japan
- A Biblical perspective from Maggie about accepting God’s will and direction
- Is your time at CSU too crazy-busy? Spend Sunday in the Park with God, by Mary
- Be sure to read Christians and Tipping by Stephanie before you meet your friends for a meal out

I would love to share my blog with CCC staff women even though I can’t be there to join you! My blog has the focus of giving encouragement, hope and resources to hurting parents — parents whose children are causing them pain and heartache from poor choices. It is called Hope for Hurting Parents. Come read my story (Beauty from Ashes part I and II) and take a look at my blog. If you know who are also struggling, feel free to pass it on!
