For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.(2 Timothy 4:6-7 ESV) Even before I became a true believer, these verses in 2 Timothy were familiar to me. … Continue reading
December 17, 2012 – Lessons from Philippians
It’s hard to compress 4 chapters of Philippians in one post. When I took this class with Precept Ministries, it took 16 weeks. May I mention how I love that class?

November 12, 2012 – The reason behind it
I love The Princess Bride. It’s one of my all time favorite movies. My sister and I can quote lines from it back and forth. As much as I love the story, there are some parts I wish would be different. I always turn my eyes when they go into the Fire Swamp and Westley is … Continue reading

It has been so long since I have written on our blog. I was “pulled away” when I started reading the Bible in 90 days with my pastor’s wife; I only got through the OT in 100 days. 😉 I just couldn’t keep everything together with two readings and the Psalm Study with Wendy!!! The … Continue reading
