This is one of the many Bible verses that I have clung to, used as spiritual food, in my life trials. Especially now as a mother of three young children, enduring more than I sometimes feel I can bear, I find that I need God’s word consistently throughout my day in order to keep me Read More
I have been making many changes to this blog. My silence over the past year is a testimony in part to my hatred of the (now old!) blog design. It is difficult for me to write with something I find to be horribly broken. The rest of my silence was because of the chaos of Read More
“If I keep my house immaculately clean, and am envied by all for my interior decorating, but do not show love in my family – I’m just another housewife. “If I’m always producing lovely things – sewing, art; if I always look attractive, and speak intelligently, but am not loving to my family – I Read More
I find it interesting that the more serious of spiritual and life battles are often fought internally or in such a way that they are not public. I have been specifically considering families that have dealt with miscarriage or infertility. The only outward sign of this life trial is that the couple has no children, Read More
I write lame little melodies to help me memorize scripture. I actually tried learning Matthew 5:13-16 without writing a melody and I couldn’t get it down. Then I started singing it and I had it memorized in a few minutes. I have no idea why I work like that, I just do. Someday maybe I’ll Read More
Two things running through my mind these days: Thing 1: The Woman Who Fears the Lord I’ve started reading Proverbs 31:10-31 on a daily basis. I actually typed it out (here it is if you’d like a copy) and have it posted upstairs and downstairs for me to read regularly. I think it’s been essential Read More

But, I got a little melody for it and have officially added at least those two to my memorized verses. Here is me singing Psalm 139:13-14: Psalm139_13-14.mp3
I used to study the Fighter Verses and commit them to memory by writing little melodies to go with them, writing about them, and doing other memory tricks. I was fairly consistent when I used to maintain the fighterverse.com site (which I handed over to some fellow BBC members). But, then we hit a stretch Read More
I have been maintaining a site at fighterverse.com for several months now, but have decided to give up my domain to the fighterverses.com guys. Mostly it’s because I’m just not able to be consistent with it, and a lack of consistency will kill a blog. Especially one that needs to be consistent. I normally wouldn’t Read More
[Note: This was originally posted on my fighterverse.com site, but I have since given it up. It attempt to archive a few of the things I wrote, I am reposting it here on the original date that I wrote it.] And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be Read More
