On Blogs: Recent Baha'i Citings

In a compelling post entitled "Do I believe in God?" returntoshore on Live Journal tells what it's like to be born to Baha'i parents who experience subsequent crises of faith, as we all do to one degree or another at some point in our lives.

After breaking the fast Mellon and her friends chewed lots of gum and did their best to answer the questions of a seeker who was doing a report about the Faith for school, as is reported on The Thrilling Spark. Mellon and her friends are super-heros, by the way.

Part Cameroonian, Part Iranian, Part Pakistani, Part Crazy, Part Dreamer Sahar had a wonderful devotional meeting in her home and invites you to see the "after" pictures posted on her blog love from fullerton to buea & everywhere in the middle.

Einblicke: Leben und Glauben als Bahai (Views: Life and Faith as Baha'i) is a German-language blog of high quality. "Der Wert der Welt" is the current post on the comfort a passage from Baha'u'llah can give after a hard day. Translation is available using Google Language Tools.

Leif is sad he will be leaving St. Kitts upon conclusion of his Year of Service, as he reports on
Life of Leif زندگی لیف. This Baha'i youth is a prolific blogger. How prolific? 3893 site visits and almost 1000 Blogger profile views since June 2005. What I have come to admire most about him is his propensity to search the web to find opportunities to teach the Faith or support other Baha'is with his kind comments. The other thing I like is that his mother reads his blog.

The blogger on If I Only Had a Blog describes meeting a 92-year old woman who decided she wanted to be a Baha'i. This dear blogger has a great job, as she tells us in her "About Me":
"I've spent most of my life in basements....My obsession with editing video took root in the basement studio of my high school where I would sometimes spend up to 9 after school hours per week. I still can't get enough of producing emotions and thoughts through the matching of sights and sounds. So, now I spend hours and hours in the basement of the beautiful Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois, where I help tell stories of community development.That's me. Hangin' in basements."

A Baha'i Blog, Pearlzocreativity, Cliff Gardner, Social Justice Coalition, and log @ this...look at this: thanks, bloggers, for your mentions of Baha'i Views.

Wow missed this blog and lots of stuff so much, had power off for a week as we had a cyclone in our area. We are all okay but the trees were ripped out and the place looks devestated. No loss of life and everyone's fine.

Rang lots of friends this week, these things remind you of how important it is to always be spiritually and physically prepared.
