Week five is here, and today our featured faith blogger is Diane Ronzino.  Diane maintains two blogs.  The first, An Encouraging Word presents posts which help to challenge and lead us in our faith.  Diane ends each post with the tagline, “Because of Him and Unto Him”.  A great motto for all Christian faith bloggers.  Her second blog, Deep Calls Unto Deep, presents words of meditation and devotion as individual “Life Lessons”.  Also a great source of encouragement and wisdom.
