You know, the flu did something to me this week. It gave me time. I had a ton of time to sit around, lay on the couch and lie there. The first day this was great, we caught up on some TV we’d been meaning to watch, maybe a movie. Then day two…and day three…it […]
The Washington Monument
Something has been bugging me lately…I’ve been hearing quite a few people ask me why God allows bad things to happen. How in the world can an all-powerful God who loves us allow life to be such crap sometimes? (no, this isn’t brought on by my recent bout with flu, but it’s hardly an antithesis) […]
The One with the Sick Top 10
1. I have spent every hour of today on the couch. Thanks, husband, for lovingly sharing your illness with me. Symptoms include–sore throat, congestion, headache, body aches, fatigue. 2. I knew I was getting sick when I couldn’t stay awake after 7:30pm last night and was thrilled to go to bed at 9pm. 3. Yesterday, […]
Galatians 3
I am totally loving Galatians 3. This passage connects to Genesis 15, Levitcus 19 and Romans 4. In college I spent hours and hours dissecting these pericopes in completing my exegetical assignments. I absolutely loved it! I could spend hours more diving into this chapter, but I’ll restrain myself. Yes, this chapter in Galatians is a bit […]
The One with Craigslist
If you haven’t visited Craigslist.org, you need to. This classified ads website is, honestly, one of my guilty pleasures–pursuing the goods for sale. It’s like window shopping! I keep a word document of things I want or need. (Mostly want. I have everything I need, after all.) Whenever I’m bored or if I know someone’s looking […]
Galatians 2
This chapter seemed totally new to me. I know I’ve read it a hundred times, and I’ve quoted many of it’s verses, but the context of the words seemed to have escaped me. Here’s what I observed in my morning reading of Galatians 2— Paul had a FEAR! This stuck out to me a new […]
Galatians 1
Starting today I am joining Jenilee and Christina in their month long study of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians–Pauls Epistles. These are four of my most favorite books in the Bible. I have spent much time in them in the past–but it’s been a while. I look forward to revisiting their truth and application to […]
The One with Too Many Gmail Accounts
Having multiple email accounts works for me. It’s a necessary thing, but it can be cumbersome to sign in and out of each different email account if you want to send an email from a specific address. (Assuming you have all of your emails forwarded to one inbox like I do.) To solve this dilemma, […]
On rest…and focus
You know, I’ve realized in my many many years on this earth (Soon to be 24 of them) that there are a few things that Christianity just doesn’t do well. We are absolutely terrible at learning from those we disagree with. I’ve went through life cursed with an overabundance of confidence. I frequently joke that […]
The One with the Racing Brilliance
I loved today. 1. Because I got another chance. 2. Because it’s fall. 3. Because my cats snuggled with me. 4. Because I made enchiladas and brownies. 5. Because my dedicated husband went to work even though he was feeling crappy. 6. Because I was super productive. 7. Because I checked everything off of my […]
