Circle of Moms Blog Contest

May 25, 2011April 13, 2015 Sus Schmitt

I never dreamed my blog could be featured to 6 million other blogging moms. So when I first heard of the Circle of Moms Top 25 contest I immediately ruled it out. Curiosity motivated me to glance at the other blogs in the contest where I saw the most high traffic blogs I know of. I thought, “No way, I would make a total fool of myself if I entered.” But then scrolling down there were some blogs with only a couple of votes. My courage increased as I thought of what an incredible ministry opportunity this could be to … Continue reading Circle of Moms Blog Contest

Two Kindles and the Earthquake in Japan (Guest Post)

While taxiing to the end of the runway, maybe five minutes before full power would be applied and we would take off, the huge 747 began bouncing up and down, the wings flapping. It wasn’t nearly as bad as some mid-air turbulence I’ve experienced, but we weren’t in the air! There isn’t supposed to be turbulence on the ground!
When the pilot came over the loudspeaker he said, “Folks, we’re having an earthquake.”
People around us were using their mobile phones to check news reports.
Our mobile phones on the T-Mobile system (GSM system) don’t work on Japan’s cellular system. But Kay and I each have an Amazon Kindle with 3G world cell phone service for downloading books and also with very rudimentary web browsers
