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 […]
The One with the Top Ten Tuesday
1. Yesterday, I baked chocolate chip cookies for Tammy–the winner of my giveaway from a few weeks ago. Yes, I realize that it’s long overdue. I remembered last week that I had totally neglected this prize but Tammy was so gracious. 2. I may have eaten WAY too many of said chocolate chip cookies. In […]
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 the Hug Attack
This weekend we missed our teens. Though we had a really great time with family in my hometown, we ended up not being able to make it back for our church’s Light the Night (“trunk or treat”). We entrusted our teens with our trunk. They were in charge of decorating and manning the trunk as […]
The One with the Birthday Love
Dear Husband, Happy Birthday! I am so blessed to be at your side to celebrate with you. I remember back to your 18th birthday–when we had met just months earlier. You have changed so much since then, and yet, you are still everything I love about Kevin Michael. You have become a trustworthy, man of God, that […]
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, […]
The One with My Ministry Gifts
I have no idea where God will take me in the future. Will I be at home, loving on my family, gardening, baking, housekeeping, homeschooling? Will I write a book? Will we live here forever? Or move across the country? How will I be using my musical gifts? So many questions, yet I don’t really […]
The One with the Inner Artist
Another blog makeover. Thoughts? Suggestions? I’m really falling in love with it, though if I had more editing and coding skills it could be way more awesomer. Honestly, that is one of my little aspirations–to grow in my photo and logo editing skills and maybe possibly one day in the future earn some extra cashola […]
