Today, I tried decoupaging for the first time on my own. I have decided that decoupaging is tricky business. School starts back up on the 28th, so I'm trying to get my summer crafts projects finished. The frame that I used today was originally intended for a chalk board. However, since the weather was about… Continue reading Decoupaging and the Ministry of Music

Psalm 34 (part one)
I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1 "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Matt. 12:34) If the heart and mouth were so full of the praise to God and the mind so occupied with His goodness, what contentment and blessing… Continue reading Psalm 34 (part one)
Firm in Faith
I love when readings from two different sources on two different days speak in unison. Last night during Bible study, we read Isaiah 7:9. Today, the morning devotional (though on a different verse) from Spurgeon's Morning & Evening series continued the discussion we had last night. If you are not firm in faith, you will… Continue reading Firm in Faith
Summer Reading List — 2011
One of my favorite things about summer break (and Christmas break) is the chance to read... for pleasure... for hours on end. Sylvie and Bruno -- Lewis Carroll A story beginning with two story lines that merge into one. The first story line is in the world of fairy children, Sylvie and Bruno. The second… Continue reading Summer Reading List — 2011
Price Paid
Today, citizens here in America and American citizens around the world are celebrating their freedom as a country. A freedom that was attained at a high price by hundreds of men and women we will never be able to thank. A freedom that is sustained at that same high price by men and women who… Continue reading Price Paid
Father’s Day 2011
Thank you for your strong, faithful, and loving care of our family as you lead us to follow a strong, faithful, and loving Lord. I love you, Daddy!
Consider…
... the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe… Continue reading Consider…
Saturday Song: The Church’s One Foundation
Summer weddings are getting their start today... at least in my circle of friends. Today marks the start of two marriages and celebrates the anniversary of another. Next Saturday marks the beginning of another new marriage. With all this in mind, The Church's One Foundation has playing in my mind. Marriage is a covenant of… Continue reading Saturday Song: The Church’s One Foundation
One Year Down… or, the Sanctifying Work of Teaching
Last May, I had just finished my degree and was feverishly sending out job applications (while trying to catch up on sleep). Little did I know that I would end up, a year later, two states and one time zone away... already missing the 24 kids who call me their teacher. Now that the school… Continue reading One Year Down… or, the Sanctifying Work of Teaching
Someone To Share With
Once there was a little girl who was loved by her mom and dad. The three of them lived happily together, laughing and loving. After two and a half years, a brother came along, and the three became four. Even though she wasn't ready to share her toys -- at least, not at first --… Continue reading Someone To Share With
