and splits and burns and kills.
But did I truly see
God’s shape
in one
in some
in none
or all of these?

Roban looked at his daughter. She was also his apprentice in his trading business. He drove his wagon on a circuit amongst the towns and villages that extended hundreds of miles and weeks in time, buying and selling things that were available in one place but needed in another.

Submit your posts via the nifty new submission form.
For this carnival, I’m going to add a number of posts from people other than those who submit so we can get a bigger cross-section of posts from the Christian blogosphere. If you can think of a Christian web site that should be included, mention it in a comment here, or even better, submit it to the carnival yourself.
Then come and read the carnival to discover some of the best of the Christian blogosphere for the week!

This is, of course, to assume that if I had the time I would come up with a wonderful theme! The same state of busyness leaves me with no post of my own, even from three blogs, to include.
