Introductions and Invitations
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 06:52AM This morning I'd like to introduce you to my wonderful "real life" friend, Dorothy. We've only known each other about three years (is that right, Dorothy?) but I feel as if I've known her my whole life. Some friendships are just like that.
Dorothy and I like a lot of the same things; cooking, entertaining, gardening, homemaking, sewing, teapots, cookbooks, dogs. I'd like her to teach me to crochet and she'd like me to teach her calligraphy. We both love to read and discuss books. But the thing that binds us together as special friends is our love for Christ and His Word.
Dorothy and I, along our other dear friend, Carol, have been studying theology and the Bible together for several years. I think that this element is the what has made our friendship so quickly deep and so deeply substantive. You really get to know another person when you pray and study together on a regular basis.
Some of you have already got to know her a little through her comments on your blogs. Well, I've finally convinced her to take the plunge and begin her own blog, Field Stone Cottage.
It is named so because Dorothy lives, along with her family and her sweet little dog, Charlie, in a beautiful field stone cottage. I wish I had a picture to show you. If I could have a picture of her house, though, it would be her kitchen table, for that is where I have sat with her over cups and cups of Earl Grey and Malachi McCormack tea, talking, laughing, and praying.
I do hope you'll take a few minutes and visit Dorothy and welcome her to the blogosphere. Oh, and while you're there, do take time to read her post, Even the Dogs.

nice header :-)
Oh, Kim, thank you! I am not sure that it is even three whole years since we first met but we did become very close friends very quickly, didn't we? I thank God for you every day!
I went, I read, I liked! Thanks for sending us to the Field Stone Cottage!
Yep, great header!
Malachi McCormack tea? I've never even heard of that! We nearly named The Boy Malachy but that didn't happen...
Off to say hi!
What a cute dog!!
And a nice header! Very spring-like.
I loved her post entitled "Even the dogs" - she's a great writer - I can see why the two of you would get along so well. :)
