I read everything Meredith posts on her blog; it is one of those that I catch up on if I miss for some reason. I’ve been trying to put my finger on exactly why that is, and to be honest, I’m not sure I can quite identify the reason.
I really like Meredith’s writing style, but it isn’t just that. She has some wonderful recipes, and being the cook at my house, I’m always looking for a new idea… and by the way, you’ve got to try the pork steaks! Yet, I don’t think the recipes are the reason either. It could be her posts about dogs, for I am a dog-less dog lover while here in the uncivilized environs of Washington DC… no, that’s not it.
You know what I think the reason is… at least the closest I can come to it? I think it’s Meredith’s orientation towards relationships that seems to live in every post.
I highly doubt that there is any semblance of “Christian Life” that is not heavily weighted toward relationships. Relationship with God, relationship with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors… Yes, that’s it! Everything “Christian” in life is about relationship, and do you know what? Meredith’s blogging demonstrates that without talking about it; she just does it. Yes, that’s why I never miss her posts; they just are like a connection of sorts, a connection that all of us hope to share in, a connection that is the love of Christ living within us and through us.
I hope you will pay Meredith a cal!

As Popeye says, “Blow me down!” I’m not usually at a loss for words!?! What a wonderful acknowledgement. It means so much to know you see what I attempt to live everyday – my relationship with the Savior that is the foundation for all relationships. Thanks so much Don. I feel so validated.
As well you should my firend, and thank you for blessing us so regularly!
Thanks for recommending her, Don. Browsed through her blog, read many posts, enjoyed them all. Blessings to you both — have a wonderful day.
Thank you Bette!
“Meredith’s blogging demonstrates that without talking about it; she just does it.” Here is a point that has really hit me lately, which I think this expresses: We are, like every faithful person in Scripture, to “be the message.” We are not simply to deliver the message, but to BE the message, so those around us will say, “S/He just does it!”
Dennis, when we we back there a few weeks ago, we were really struck by how “different” MCC is from what we have grown used to lately; it made it even harder for us to head east again. What you have shared here is the reason, the difference! Thanks so much!
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different page and thought I may as well check things out.
