His Grace is Sufficient

I just watched Paul the Apostle. It was a beautiful film. If you haven't seen it & want to, stop reading now or I may spoil it. The film focuses really on the writing of the book of Acts in the New Testament, which discusses a great deal of Paul's ministry. While there are certainly…

Two For One

So, earlier this month I promised a book review. Well I have two for you! First up: May the Faith be with You. This was a Bible, perfect for pre-teens who are fascinated by outer space. It advertises itself for ages 6-10, but I would stay closer to 8-12 since the version is New international Readers,…

Exciting Things to Do!

I think its a little silly just how excited I have allowed myself to get over this. Do you enjoy reading? Have you ever read something and just HAD to tell someone all about it? Ever been accused of spoiling the end of a story? Yeah, me too! Ok. so I really enjoy reading, but…

Me Too

I've seen the hashtag all over social media the last few days. #metoo. I've heard about it on the news, and I've read opinion articles-both fair and unfair towards individuals on either side of the discussion. This current discussion- because its certainly not a new one by any stretch of the imagination- has been spurred…

Fall Rain & Letters

Around here, fall is a very small window of opportunity, so we tend to take it very seriously. However, this year, I think we are all anticipating a great turn of colors that may last longer than two weeks! Usually, Augusts in this neck of the woods tend to be one extreme or the other.…

2017-2018

Happy New School Year. I will be a substitute teacher this year, at least, I am for now. There is a Social Studies Praxis book sitting in the little nook between my desk and dresser with a pen stuck inside it, waiting to be used again. It sits atop the paper crate full of classroom…

Hey! I have a blog. Nice. The steady stream of reminders have been coming to my inbox rather frequently, due to a friend who has re-blogged something I wrote. People I don't know have been enjoying whatever I wrote, and the internet universe has been so kind to pass on the information. Except, I had…

Welcome, 2015!

Happy New Year! I'm hoping that this year will have many good things in store! Generally, I do not make new year resolutions; mostly because I know I will fall short of my own goals, but also because I have come to learn-and continue to learn- that I can make important changes and goals at…

Estimable?

My Blog! Oh how I've missed you! I've been working on a bit of a word study during any downtime I could find, and lately, it's been scarce. I feel as though I am often running without a destination! So I decided to "chill" and focus on some follow through. The last time I blogged…

Argh and Ugh, questioning myself

Have you ever been overly excited for something- a new car, show... some sort of adventure that then becomes drastically different from what you were expecting or hoping for? The devastation and disappointment is heavy, maybe even heart breaking? Do you remember what it was like pulling things back together? I remember getting the rejection…
