How does the challenge work? Each week on Wendy's blog she will post an article with Scripture, selected readings from Simply in Season, commentary from a guest poster, questions for reflection, and an activity or challenge for readers to complete in order to eat more locally and in season!

3. Each Saturday, visit her site, read the post, and answer the questions for reflection in the comments. (1 entry)
4. If you have a blog, feel free to post about your call to action assignment and link back to her post for that week. You can use the blog button on her site. If you don’t have a blog, send Wendy an email describing how you completed your assignment. (1 additional entry. Must be posted or emailed to her by 12 PM EST on Friday).
5. Post the badge on your blog. (Optional)
I was truly honored that Wendy asked me to guest post on the Bible and Food category. It's a privilege to be able to participate along with so many wonderful bloggers. It should be an exciting three months. I'm already over there so come join me!
