I’ve been reading through the Bible chronologically. Lately I’ve been in 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles with Psalms sprinkled throughout. It really changes the way I read the psalms, because now I’m reading them smack dab in the middle of context. Having just read about David’s own son trying to steal … Continue reading There is soundness in my flesh

Intentional Love
One of my favorite words is "intentional." In fact, it looks like it is my unintentional (hah!) word of the year for 2018. Intentionality is the key to so many good things.

For this reason I bow my knees before my Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may … Continue reading What Dreams Are Made Of
The Easter Story (as told by a First Grade Teacher)
For the first time in my educational career, this year I have been responsible for teaching my students Bible. Unfortunately I don’t have a Bible curriculum, but I do have a bilingual Jesus Storybook Bible and a random Bible activity book that have been doing us just fine. For the most part I have been … Continue reading The Easter Story (as told by a First Grade Teacher)
