I’ve really been praying for a pure heart lately. I’ve been struggling with wanting to talk about others. I’ve had a difficult time discerning the fine line between sharing events and gossiping. It’s not something I’ve really struggled with before, but I’ve caught myself several times in the last couple of weeks saying more than Read More
As life progresses, I keep learning more deeply about different aspects of God and who He is. Recently, I’ve been dwelling on Him as my Redeemer. A recent study of the Book of Ruth gave me new insights to what a kinsman-redeemer is to a person. Especially a person who is broken and left alone, Read More
Well, I’ve been thinking for three months to get a list of top five favorite books of the Bible. I’ve gone for a good month and a half consistently agreeing with the ones I’ve chosen. I teetered a bit on if I wanted Isaiah or Ecclesiastes for my number 5 slot, but finally decided on Read More

I am the biggest abuser of sabbath days that I know. I constantly use my weekends to cram as much crap into as possible. My drive to organize my homelife (cleaning, groceries, etc.) combined with Josh’s social drive consistently leaves me exhausted when the new week begins. I find that when I take a day Read More
The beauty and glory of Coldstone Creamery is that you get to make your own ice cream mix. One day several weeks ago, I was admiring the 20-something flavors and the forty-something mix in options when I got a bizarro idea. What would happen if someone got a small ice cream with every single mix-in Read More
