While we’re there, we come across loads of great stuff, so we thought we’d share what we’ve been finding lately in blogland. There’s enough here to make you think, make you take action and make you make a difference. Have a look.

I am a big bicyclist. I meet with a Women’s Bike Club on Monday nights. They are really awesome women but most are lesbian, bi-sexual and non churched. They are active, but do not love the things of God. It is a great opportunity for me to learn from them. Our bike club has grown by over 100% and there are women always checking us out.

As an avid bicyclist, I am also a subscriber to an International Bicycling Magazine. It is really geared toward men, but recently I have been seeing more and more articles for women. This month the magazine announced a section called Girl Talk, which I thought was unusual in a very male dominated magazine. I began to read the article and was reminded that every woman

Time saving ideas always catch my attention. Here’s a tip I just ran across today, and you were the first to cross my mind. Who needs a helping hand more than a woman in ministry? Kem Meyer wrote about Fancy Hands, an online assistant service that will take on just about any task you need and get it done for you. They will complete 15 tasks per month for you for $30. What a deal.

• Need a reservation? They’ll make it.
• Want to know how to apply paint glaze to your walls? They can find out for you.

Three cheers and praise the Lord for the outstanding success of Beth Moore’s So Long Insecurity Simulcast this past weekend. We’re so thrilled to celebrate the work God continues to do through Beth.

My Reflections on the So Long Insecurity Simulcast
with Beth Moore
by April Pressley

Beth taught from Ephesians 4 to tell us that a  secure woman is:

We recently shared an article by Wendy Blight, Growing Strong after Sexual Assault, in our WM Tip of the Week newsletter. Wendy appeared on the 700 Club earlier this week, and now we invite you to watch here as Wendy recounts the dark season of loss and hopelessness that might have been the end of the story except for the God who heals.

It’s a story no one would ever ask for, but through her courage, women are being rescued and restored. Only God could heal like this. Wendy is a dear friend and a treasure in the body of Christ
