I’m reading Galatians right now and want to just note here some verses that impacted me and that I really need to “digest”.
And yet we know that we become right with God, not by doing what the law commands, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we [...]

561. Godly friends who ask good questions and search for their own answers.
562. A refreshed interest in Bible reading. I had to let go of my charted “Bible in a Year” reading. It became cumbersome and mechanical. The last thing I need right now is reading the Bible out of [...]

I am taking a step back from my administrator position at Faith Lifts.  Still need to find someone who is interested in replacing me.  It is a great group blog ministry.  It’s just [...]

This is yet another blog entry about what happens when a toddler goes unsupervised for about [...]

Remember last week when I complained about not having enough time to blog?
And then, a day or so later I actually posted a somewhat long review on Amy Grant’s new book?
Well…that’s not going to happen again any time soon.
Why, you ask?

Mosaic, by Amy Grant
I was given the opportunity by the really nice people at WaterBrook Press to read, share and review Amy Grant’s new book, Mosaic. When I got the email, I wasn’t quite sure what I should do. You see, Amy Grant was my idol when I was in grade school. [...]

I have been working too many late nights. J5 hasn’t been taking full naps, so I don’t get lots of daytime work in, then I get on a roll and have become a night owl. It is taking its toll on me.
I have a lot of things I want to write:

Review on Amy [...]
