This is one of my all time favorite hymns! It has encouraged my soul over and over again and reminded me of the joy of knowing that because of Christ’s work on the Cross on my behalf, it is well with my soul…even when life’s circumstances don’t make sense. Horatio…
This chapter, again, has been very helpful. I am brought to tears when I think of His kindness in cleansing me. He not only did this fully in Jesus, He also cleanses me daily (really moment by moment) as I choose my way over His and sin. I am overwhelmed…
A few weeks ago, our littlest and I were shopping at Target as we often do while my daughter is in her science class. I picked up a book for him to look at while I was finishing up, intending to buy it when I reached the checkout counter. While…
Hurrah for grammatical distinctions! (Anyone who knows me would not be surprised I just wrote that very cheesy phrase.) Who would think that two terms such as indicative and imperative would be so important to our understanding of the gospel. By God’s grace, we have been told who we are…
Happy Saturday everyone! Today the sun is shining and the weather is hitting about 75 degrees…it is beautiful! After we enjoyed our Saturday morning cup of Peet’s Coffee, my husband and I went to our local Farmer’s Market to get my knives sharpened and look what we bought…strawberries!! They look…

Today I had a marathon cooking afternoon! I went to the store and when I returned home, instead of putting everything away, I cooked first. My motivation? This week is packed full of fun-filled things to do! I didn’t want to default to greasy, flavorless take-out. And, I didn’t want…
No, that isn’t a new refrigerator…it is FINALLY clean! 🙂 Right about now, I am wishing I had taken an embarrassing before photo. Then, this would look like a bigger “fresh start”. But, let’s just say that three hours later, it now looks like this. Yes, I said three hours….
