Christian Carnival CCXVIII

The 218th Christian Carnival is posted at Kiwi and an Emu. And looking at it, it looks amazing. Considering that it’s Wednesday and I’ve just posted something that I started on Monday, and I see some great-looking posts there, I might not write much more this week.

Anyway … as ever, I would encourage you to check it out.

So, enjoy.

Also, since I was asked last week …

The Christian Carnival is a weekly collection of posts by Christians from around the blogosphere. They don’t have to be on strictly-Christian  topics, but are by Christians — whether Baptist, Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox.
