<p>It&#8217;s that time again! Time to participate in Elizabeth Esther&#8217;s Saturday Evening Blogpost. Since she missed a month, Elizabeth has asked her blogging friends to submit two posts this month, one from both December and January. I have chosen <em><strong><a href="http://www.blessedisthekingdom.com/2010/12/14/fellowship-with-the-martyrs-2/">Fellowship with the Martyrs</a></strong></em> as my December post because I am still thinking about it each time I pray the Roman Canon. January&#8217;s selection is a link to a recent podcast that was posted on <strong><em><a href="http://www.blessedisthekingdom.com/2011/01/24/new-podcast-women-in-the-church/">Women in the Church</a>. </em><span style="font-weight: normal;">I chose this post primarily because of the dialogue it has stirred in the comments section. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have never participated in the Saturday Evening Blogpost, here is how it works. </span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Pick one of YOUR posts from the last month. Insert <em>that specific post </em>(not your home page) into the Linky form <em><strong><a href="http://www.elizabethesther.com/2011/02/the-saturday-evening-blog-post-vol-3-issue-1.html">here</a></strong></em>.</li>
<li>Create a new post on your blog linking back to Elizabeth&#8217;s site and encouraging your readers to come join the fun! It’s always wonderful to meet new bloggers.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have your own blog and just like discovering new sites to see, you can still head on over to <strong><em><a href="http://www.elizabethesther.com/2011/02/the-saturday-evening-blog-post-vol-3-issue-1.html">Elizabeth&#8217;s blog</a></em></strong> for some good reading!</p>

Today I am happy to use my blog to promote my friend Elizabeth&#8217;s new venture as an official newspaper columnist. Elizabeth and I have met through the blogosphere and I love her writing. One of the things that most impresses me about her is her ability to take on topics that are somewhat off color and make them both accessible and funny. You can find her first column for the Orange County Register, entitled, <em>How a high tech bathroom can kill you</em>, <strong><a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/flushing-264199-self-public.html"><em>here</em></a></strong>. For more of her writing be sure to check out <em><strong><a href="http://www.elizabethesther.com/">www.elizabethesther.com</a></strong></em>.</p>
