    Lisis, what a great idea! Fellowship Fridays! And what a lovely name.

    I am so happy to share community with you, and so honored that you included my post on your list! Thank you!

    I’ve got a meeting to make – so I need to run. But I’ll be back.

    Thanks again!

    Hi Lisis,
    Fellowship Fridays is a great idea with a fantastic name! I love it! Thanks for including Michael’s article on Discipline vs. Spanking…it’s message is near and dear to our hearts and we too have experienced great results from disciplining our children lovingly and without spanking. I grew up in a pretty violent, extremely hierarchical culture where even the wives are “spanked” to “discipline them, and yet somehow I always felt that spanking was wrong. I remember being 3 years old and lying about the marks on my body because I didn’t want people to think ill of my mother for doing such a terrible thing.

    The other articles sound great too; I’m looking forward to delving into them and browsing around the blogs. Thanks for the positive weekend reading list!
    You have a great one too!

    @ Michael: Consider it my contribution to “The Age of We.” And what would a collection of posts about Family be without a contribution from Michael and Acooba!? Of course you’re on this list… it all starts with you!

    @ Acooba: You are welcome. Every time I hear from you I just wanna give you a big hug. I wonder if there is a WordPress plugin that lets me do that?

    ;-)

    Hi Lisis,

    Great idea about Fellowship Fridays! Good for you. We need more fellowship and I am happy to see that my comment about the “Age of We” has taken hold. :)

    I loved all the articles that you included. I loved what you said about marriage in number 3. I think you are right that our spouses are worthy of love and respect. In my mind, that means accepting them as they are and not trying to change them into what we think they should be.

    Hi, Nadia!

    It’s so nice to see you here… there’s always room for a Happy Lotus on this page! I’m glad you liked the articles and the concept. Your comment about the “Age of We” really got me thinking about how I can do my part to get us there.

    For those of you out of the loop, we are talking about a comment Nadia made on Michael’s post: http://lovetospare.com/2009/03/05/brace-for-impact. Check it out so you can start thinking about YOUR part in creating The Age of We.

    Thanks!

    Hi Lisis!

    You are so sweet….thank you! :) I am adding you to my blogroll which is not up yet but will be this weekend. As for doing your part, you are! By just having this blog and how you are in your life with your loved ones, is a great thing. I used to think that in order to make a difference it had to be huge but I am learning that a person can make a difference in so many ways.

    Fellowship Fridays Love it! Thanks for including us on your list of finds for the week. I missed Michael’s post on discipline when poking around his site so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Have a great weekend and a great time in Costa Rica!
