I didn’t plan it this way, but it happens that I have two guest posts published today.
“From Brokenness, the Unexpected” is up at the Port Orange Counseling Center’s blog, New Day Rising. This is a new blog site started by Russell Holloway (aka @LuvStomp), and it focuses on relationships.
“Miracles” has been posted at Michael Perkins’ blog, Untitled. If you haven’t seen Michael’s blog before, you should. (And I love the “whiteboard” posts he does.)

The 15th Day of Community: Russell Holloway
You must get all kinds of interesting reactions when your name on Twitter is @LuvStomp.
Russell Holloway is a registered mental health counselor in private practice at the Port Orange Counseling Center in Port Orange, Florida. He and his wife are the parents of two boys. He enjoys multi-sports racing, hiking and reading.
And he has a heart for the homeless, the hurting – and for God.
Until just a few days ago, his blog was called Bullets & Butterflies. He’s opened a new space online called Give Peas a Chance (I love the pun; I told him he should also try to visualize whirled peas, like the bumper sticker suggests.)
What does he write about? Hearts, mostly. Take a look.
• Notes from a friend’s work at a homeless shelter when it’s cold in Florida (“Just Look”).
• The importance of intimacy (“Make Love Not Porn”).
• “If you go to church long enough you'll get your heart stomped on. With people involved, it's a given” (“Pretend Perfection”).
• And how his own heart was changed after listening to a speech about African-American history being American history (“American Made”).
I’ve never met Russell face-to-face, but we’ve traded tweets, emails and DMs. When I read his blog posts, I find understanding, compassion and gentleness.
You should, too.
Update: Russell says that he's going to stick with Bullets & Butterflies only.
(Last month, a number of us participating in the “Twelve Days of Community” - see the button at the top right - sponsored by The High Calling Blogs. The purpose was to highlight the blog or web site of someone other than ourselves during the season of Advent and Christmas. I liked the idea so much that I’m going to continue to do that -- highlight a blog or web site of a person whose thoughts and writing have had an impact on me and others.)
