Another contest

So, in order to get my name in a draw for a free pass to an online homeschool conference, I have to link to Amy’s Humble Musings and her post about the contest.
Now I have to head over there myself and leave her a recipe or pep talk, Bible verse that is not from Psalms [...]

BRF: 1 Samuel 1 – 10

I’ve been reading along. I’m not keeping up, as you can see, but I am reading along. I’m finding it slow going, which frustrates me a bit, since it’s a straight narrative and not sorting through doctrine like we do in the epistles. I’m going to blame it on sickness, tiredness and [...]

Just read it.

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve pretty much given up blogging. I have lots to say, but I also have lots of other things to do first. Priorities, you know. If I ever get around to getting this computer fixed, I hope to get back to the fun, daily, picture-filled posts I started [...]

Morning

PSALM 30
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to [...]

Easter Hope

It is early Easter morning, and my boys are bouncing around in their room, waiting to be allowed out to find some not-so-carefully-hidden chocolate eggs. My daughter is far more able to control her excitement, and is probably reading in her room. My husband is probably trying very hard to get a few [...]

Hymns of Faith

We’ve all been moved, challenged, motivated, comforted by the words of a hymn. Yesterday I read two that made me laugh out loud. It is so true that “a merry heart doeth good like a medicine”, and that laugh made my day. I thought I’d share the two hymns with you.
My two [...]

A mind to work

I was excited when I saw that the next Book Review Friday assignment is Nehemiah. One of my favourite verses comes from that book: “So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.” (4:6) I [...]

When words escape me

If you know me well, you might think that never happens. I certainly have plenty to say. Then again, if you only know me a little bit, you might be thinking, “What else is new?” I’m not much of a conversationalist in public places these days. When I’m trying desperately to [...]

Fear, Part I

Our pastor preached a hum-dinger of a message tonight. (That is nothing unusual. We are blessed with excellent Biblical teaching at our church.)
His message gave my kids a good scare. He taught from Ephesians 6, a timely message on spiritual warfare, and shared some personal experiences he has had with facing demonic activity. My second [...]
