You do a wonderful job of communicating with your readers, so it feels like a conversation not a static post. Glad I found you!

Yes, I would publish through our company, though would get it professionally edited and proof-read. We do a good enough job with the interiors and cover design, but I would like another pair of eyes for the proof0-reading, and an external editor for my own work.
Thanks Adulcia. We've visited Christchurch a couple of times, most recently in 2010. My husband grew up in NZ, and his brother and sister in law are doctors in Christchurch–Jeph and Kaaren Mathias, though they are currently missionary doctors in India. I've enjoyed following your blog.
Hi Lesley, Thank you. I think I took on the Bible blogging to calm and stablize my mind after a period of stress last year. Blogging helps me look at Scripture more closely than just reading it. My bible blogging is getting a whole lot better than it was in the beginning when I hadn't found a voice at all. I'll perhaps know what I am doing the second time around!!
Hi Catriona, Welcome to my blog. Thank you for commenting.

I am always impressed by the diversity of your posts and your use of images and illustrations.

Keep going girl!

I also enjoy reading other things you are interested in – bits about business or kids or books.

I never read the posts about the Bible, I guess for the same reason that I don't like Bible study notes – I prefer meditating on the scripture using the Ignatian method.

Well done, and its been a real joy getting to know you 🙂

A community that transcends geography.

I've been enjoying your blogs. I love your “down-to-earth-ness and honesty. And reflecting on passages of scripture has been great too, even if you won't make the whole Bible in a year, I think quality is more important than quantity.

I too enjoy the variety of what you post about. It will be fun to see how you do with your new discipline of reading and writing. These are all good questions to ponder.

I think about the book thing occasionally and how I might like to pull out enough posts to publish but I don't get very far in my thinking. Would you publish your book through our own company?

What I most enjoy about your blogs is the vast difference in the subjects you cover.
This, together with your huge range of quotes and illustrations means there is always something of interest in them, whatever the basic topic. I like your approach to life.
