Are you a blogger, want to start blogging or love to read blogs? All Campus Crusade for Christ women attending CSU are invited to meet with a number of authors and bloggers at an informal meet-and-greet on July 20, 2011, in The Rim coffee shop in the basement of Durrell. You can ask one of your staff sisters about her blogging ministry, find someone who’ll come alongside you and help you get started with a blog or meet face-to-face with that new friend you made in the blogosphere. Drop in anytime between 3:30 and 5:00.
Here’s selected posts based on themes from some of the bloggers who will be at the meet-and-greet . My prayer is that these thoughtful posts will bless you during our time together in Colorado. (I also have more posts on this month’s shared reader.)

Hi, Stephanie!
A minimum of 3 posts per month is the basic recommendation. Who’s your intended audience?
Am looking forward to this time to meet other bloggers, and to learn more about blogging! Have enjoyed writing on my Pursuing Heart blog for about a year now. Here’s one of my recent posts:

Thank you, Cherry! I just stopped my busy-ness to have a heart-to-heart with my daughter before reading your post. I’m glad I took the time.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th.
Hi everyone, I’m excited to meet and greet you all! Here is my latest blog post. I have another blog, and will post a link to that one later. See you soon!

Hi, Terry! Hope to see you at the meet-and-greet!
FYI Everyone… Terry’s blog is in Spanish and English if you know someone who’d be interested in her blog.
I am going to try very hard to be at the meet and greet, Sus. I may show up with a seven month old baby who doesn’t like to be away from me.

I just became a follower of your blog. I love the idea of redeeming the culture – God is the ultimate Creator, after all.
Thank you so much, Michelle!
I have two other blogs if you want to check them out.
The Sovereign
and MikeandSus.org which has a separate mailing for The Sower (my stories to encourage way-of-life witnessing.)
I’m looking forward to being there and meeting more bloggers! My blog is jodymccomas.wordpress.com.
See you next week, Jody!
Love the “Tahoe Babies” photos on your blog.
I would love to share my blog with CCC staff women even though I can’t be there to join you! My blog has the focus of giving encouragement, hope and resources to hurting parents — parents whose children are causing them pain and heartache from poor choices. It is called Hope for Hurting Parents. Come read my story (Beauty from Ashes part I and II) and take a look at my blog. If you know who are also struggling, feel free to pass it on! Start here: Beauty from the Ashes of Having a Self-Destructive Daughter)
Wish you could be with us, Dena!
FYI Everyone! A movie will be released in 2012 loosely based on Dena’s daughter’s story. Watch for Renee.
I’m familiar with some of these wonderful bloggers, and grateful to know about the others. Thanks for all you do Sus.

Janel, you won’t be at CSU?? We’ll miss the opportunity to meet you in person! Are any of the MomLifeToday gals going to be there?
I don’t always blog about ministry related things, but I love blogging. It’s a great way to release some creative juices and share my thoughts/life with others.

Hi, Heather! Can’t wait to meet you in person!
FYI Everyone: Heather will have a great seminar just before our Meet-and-Greet to help you Write with FLAIR! You’ll want to go if you can.
Hello,
I blog at http://www.bringmetojesus.blogspot.com. I’m in the middle of a series on what I’ve learned this year from a counseling program I’m in. Unfortunately I can’t make it to the event on the 20th but love to participate from afar!
Thanks,
Tracie
We’ll miss you. Tracie!
