When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:7
Welcome to Merry Monday! Our goal is to re-post and mention posts, notes, quotes or whatever that will lead you into the rest of the week with a merry heart. We try to gather these things on Monday and then post them… possibly Monday night or, as here, Tuesday afternoon.
Not much came in this week. Hopefully because everyone was too busy making merry to post merry things.
DW Dixon, whom Substack must not like, promotes ‘The Legacy’, but Substack won’t show it to you here, so you’ll have to click on the link.
This post may be posted, but the merriment need not stop. Feel free to send me more and I will add them to this post. And get some merriment ready for next Monday!
Let me know if you wish to be added to our members!
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
If you get lost, check out my ‘Table of Contents’ which I try to keep up to date.
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
