Mention Worthy Monday

I recently discovered a new (to me) author and I wanted to share her amazing work with you.

Her name?

Emily Nelson. Read all about her here and here.

What I've read?

The Locket.

Why was it so great?

"In the end, after time and

breath steal the rest away, some things linger still.

Some memories whisper in your heart forever. 

Love goes on, even when life doesn't."

 Emily is a Christian author. You do not have to worry about encountering foul language, inappropriate scenes or such like when you read her work. The Locket is a beautiful love story. Although it is short fiction, it is a true-to-life story of overcoming hardships and celebrating life's beauty. (I read this in one day. Yes, it was that good.)

What's on my list to read next?

Reflections: A Collection of Poems and Short Stories

When the Church Forgets to Blush

I cannot wait.

There is a fairly new podcast over at The Light Network called The New You. It's a short, daily devotional and a great resource for new and seasoned Christians alike. And while you're over at TLN be sure to check out The Royal Family podcast. Who doesn't love hearing about what the British royals are up to? Emily does a great job keeping us up-to-date with the goings-on and has wonderful insight to show the similarities between the earthly royal and spiritually royal family. Be sure to give these great podcasts a listen and then go rate them in iTunes to help spread the good work the folks over at TLN are doing!

When Christians Should Stay Off Social Media - So often people, even Christians think social media is an outlet to voice their frustration over various issues. This post is a good reminder to keep our attitudes in check even (or should I say especially) when using social media-remember that those are words you will answer for as well.
