I appreciate your asking. Folks who subscribed to The Advent Door are not automatically signed up for the other blog, but it's easy to take care of this. I've been making some updates to The Painted Prayerbook, and am now able to offer a subscription by email there. If you'll go to <a href="http://paintedprayerbook.com" rel="nofollow">The Painted Prayerbook</a>, you'll find a spot near the top of the sidebar where it says "Subscribe by Email." Same process as with The Advent Door---just enter your email address there, and also respond to the confirmation email, and you'll be all set.

At the time I had a friend in transition and this blessing is one that I read to her as a transitional piece for her to hear.
