A little blog review, ya dig?

So, where to begin...My critique is of "Microbeautigology: Beauty in the Small Things." The author, Zoe, does an incredibly good job with explaining the identity piece and how important it is to have a solid foundation with understanding that you are a son or daughter of Christ and that you are blessed every day with small things given from the love and grace of God. Right from the start, Zoe presents herself as her natural friendly self, and forms her writing to be in a conversational style which I greatly enjoy for blogs. She follows this identity with the identity of a natural disaster in which it creates humans that begin to be humbled by crazy God created phenomenas. She gives us three solid reasons which we should create a thanksgiving for the storm, although it has its misfortunes for families and communities. I am very fond of her blog about getting caught in the daily routine. She expresses the necessity of enjoying life and free time to explore God's beauty and purity in life. A strong point from her blog comes from citing another blog that she uses to make points. She not only cites ideas and statements from the writer's blog, but also gives her views on it. She provides the strenghts and weaknesses of the author's writing. For me personally, I enjoyed what Zoe had to say about the article in her next blog because she specified how much more we would get out of life if we got our "hands dirty." It is such a personal struggle of myself and for others to not judge so quickly, yet to dig into the filth and mess and really understand that the person is a child of God and that they have much to offer. In her next blog, I thoroughly enjoy what Zoe has to say about not only enjoying the external things of life, but looking deeply into your internal attributes and having a joy and pride about them. This is supported then by the verse from Luke, which is very important. She concludes all her posts with almost a "wrap-up" blog post with the topic of thankfulness. This thankfulness produces a celebration, whether major or minor things, good or bad. Overall, I thoroughly read through her posts and honestly critiquing, did not find anything to be lacking or incorrect. The only possible thing I could think of which would personally help me would be more verses from the Bible to support points she made. But more importantly, so many things were done to create a friendly environment and an inspiring blog. The reader feels as if he/she is sitting with Zoe listening to her. Her easy-going and God loving personality makes the reader feel like they know Zoe at a deep personal level because of her openness. It was an honor to read her thoughts and the facts that she states. Thanks for blessing me tonight Zoe!
