Baby Names

December 8, 2010

I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We don’t have a name for this baby yet. Not that that is entirely strange. We’ve named a baby then changed it hours later. This pregnancy has been a bit odd in that we haven’t really discussed names much. We all kind of assumed or felt this [...]

My Thankful List for 2010

November 24, 2010

1. Substantial and exponential growth in knowledge of the Bible. This year I will have read through the Bible in full for the first time! 2. My church family. It seems unreal to be part of a church where the people are so genuinely kind. How sad is that?! Shouldn’t I expect this? Well, yes, [...]

November 17, 2010

I can solve the longest Algebra problem you can come up with. I can dive right into a book of logic problems. But, ask me what your name is and I’m blank.  Ask me where in the Bible a certain verse is from and I’m struggling. Anything that requires me to remember is a lost [...]

Conviction vs. Legalism

November 2, 2010

The line between conviction and legalism is so very fine. It’s one that is easily crossed unless you are constantly aware of your comments, facial expressions and how you teach your children.

How To Console a Grieving Friend

October 21, 2010

If consoling and nurturing are second nature to you, you are blessed. For me it’s not.  I tend to freeze up and fear that I’ll do more damage than good. Unfortunately, I have an opportunity to console a grieving friend and I do not want to mess up.  So, I did some research. Here are [...]

Not a Pioneer Woman Reader

October 12, 2010

Am I the only one? I feel quite alone is this world. Everyone talks about these great recipes and although I *could* make them, I stick to the things I can make in my sleep. Booooring. But today, oh today, on the uphill battle from my deadly (ok not really) cold yesterday, I felt like [...]
