Do you know I’ve got three sisters who blog? It’s true! Well, two sisters and one sister-in-law, which is close enough for horseshoes.

Keeping up with the Joneses. Natasha, my baby sister (who has five babies of her own), blogs about her parenting joys and challenges and about how her faith helps her through. Personally, I don’t know how she finds time to write, let alone write so well.

Excellent Mistakes! My oldest sister, Stephanie, shares some thoughts about education, from her long experience as a teacher and school administrator in the private school arena. She’s only posted a few times, so go encourage her to write more!

…In Transition. And finally there’s Maureen, Stephanie’s wife, who has recently completed seminary studies and is awaiting ordination in the UCC. She’s really one of the most eloquent writers out there, and it’s always a treat to read her posts about her journey.

My sister Melissa also kept a blog for a short while…until she discovered Facebook! Ah, the allure of the status update, death to all coherent thought. I’m sure my blog suffers from this too!

And while I’m on the subject, my daughter Anna has a blog of her own, where she hopes to share her writing efforts. (She has not, as yet, completed any posts.) Is 10 years old too young for a blog? Well, I’ve put my foot down about Facebook: not until she’s 16! Of course, by that time something new will have come around, and Facebook will have become the new MySpace. I just hope they still have Castleville…
