Saturday Good Reads


It’s been a good year for good stuff online, and it ends well. Shawn Smucker has a good story that’s a reminder for fathers. Kathy Richards has something to say about all those Christmas gifts. Dave Wheeler writes a psalm. Tim Good has some spectacular photographs “form his desk.” T.S. Eliot reads about the magi. And much, much more.

  1. Who would ever have thought that we'd have books published this year?! Holding mine in my hands was one of my happiest take-aways in 2011.

    Thank you for including my poem here and for bringing such a wealth of good writing to everyone's attention. You should be in your own lists more often.

    Wishing you all the joys of the season and much continuing writing success. Happy New Year, Glynn!

  4. Mom always told me never to talk to strangers... thank God I disobeyed. I have never met a better group of strangers than here and through THC (not that you are strange, of course ;)

    Thank you for including me today. Without even knowing it, you have helped me navigate through my first year of blogging. I am grateful for your trustworthy guidance and encouragement.

    God's continued blessings to you and your family in this new year.
