Hi everybody! Just a quick note to let you know that I’m taking the week off for Thanksgiving. I’ll be back to blogging next Sunday night (Nov. 30). Hope all of you have a restful and blessed holiday!

Blog Swap
I have a few Blog Swap slots to fill for November and December. If you’d be interested, please read the information below and drop me an e-mail. I’m especially looking for Thanksgiving and Christmas items (DIY, recipes, crafts, kids’ activities, party ideas, date night suggestions, creative writing, etc.) but other topics would be great, too.
Got a blog? How would you like a little more exposure? How about a blog swap?
Sometimes blog hops and link parties can have so many contributors that your blog/article gets lost in the shuffle and you end up reaching fewer people than you’d planned on. With a blog swap, you get 100% of the audience’s focus.
It’s essentially an exchange of guest posts. You post one of my articles (I’ve got nearly 400 to choose from) with a link back to my blog and I’ll post one of yours with a link back to your blog. It’s a win-win for reaching more people. (Quick stats: I’ve got 300+ subscribers here at the blog, 550+ followers on Facebook, and about 30 followers on Google+, and I do link Blog Swap articles to those two social media accounts.)
Details:
1. Blog Swaps run as a semi-regular weekly feature on Mondays (the day may change in the future).
2. I’d like for my article to run concurrently on your blog, but if you have a conflict, no problem. You can run it any time the week prior to the Monday your article is scheduled to run here.
3. Send me up to five of your best articles to choose from. You’re welcome to choose any of my articles you like. (Just let me know if you need help/suggestions.) Fair warning-if you’re new, you should know that nearly all of my articles have to do with biblical topics, and all are written from a biblical perspective.
4. Any subject matter is fine as long as neither your article nor your blog in general violate Scripture or scriptural principles. Recipes, crafts, DIY, marriage, home schooling, singles, parenting, book/movie reviews, men’s interest, photo blogging, nutrition, exercise, etc., are all welcome.
5. If you submit articles of a theological or biblical nature, please also include a statement of faith. (It’s fine to link to your denomination’s or church’s statement of faith on their web site and say, “I agree with this.” Click on my “Statement of Faith” tab above for an example.) I cannot publish articles/blogs that I find to be in contradiction to sound doctrine.
6. Got friends with blogs? Please share this around!
Think you’d be interested in doing a blog swap with me? E-mail me at MichelleLesley1@yahoo.com with your name, links to up to 5 articles, a brief description of your blog, and your statement of faith (if applicable).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Jonah- Lesson 12: The End
Well, we’ve come to the last lesson in our rerun of the Jonah Bible study. I hope you have enjoyed it.
Jonah 4:4-11
I’m a person who doesn’t like loose ends. I like everything tied up in a nice neat little package with a bow on top, so much so that, in my mind, my favorite book, Gone With the Wind, doesn’t end with Scarlett wondering whether or not she’ll get Rhett back. I’ve mentally re-written the ending. He comes to his senses before he gets to the end of the driveway and takes her back. And also, they both repent of being such scallywags and get saved. Because that’s how it is supposed to end.
I have a feeling Jonah was the kind of guy who needed closure, too. All God told Jonah to do was to go to Nineveh and preach the message He gave him. Jonah didn’t have to hang around and wait for the results. But aggravated as he was, Jonah felt the need to see things…
