1) I’m going to attempt to read through the Bible (question – if it took God thousands of years to write the Bible, why do we think we have to read it in one year – exactly?) Anyway, I’m taking … Continue reading →

See, these things really are rather silly…(and my blog is kind of on the green side, no?) Your Blog Should Be Green Your blog is smart and thoughtful – not a lot of fluff.You enjoy a good discussion, especially if … Continue reading →

My paper is now posted in its entirety. I’m sure that there could be many changes and additions – the longer I’m single the more “interviews” I could do and comments I could add. The two I hear most often … Continue reading →

I got this from Blest with sons. Like she said, it seems like a good way to sum up the past year (I think I might have had a rather boring year.) What did you do in 2005 that you’ve … Continue reading →

Today is the deadline for the “Carnival of Beauty”… This week’s hostess is Sallie I really enjoyed reading last week’s entries!

She Feasts The blog I got this from said it was a Friday thing…I’m doing it on Monday. Appetize What is a word that your family uses that would not be considered common? Snuberated. It came from an aunt that … Continue reading →

My Family’s (non)Traditions Over the last five years I’ve decided that if a tradition isn’t working – pick a new one! Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two holidays that my family “struggles” with traditions – meaning that in the past … Continue reading →

I followed a link from somewhere (I can’t remember where or I’d give credit) to this book. I’m relatively new to Reformed theology and barely have a grip on paedobaptism. I recognize that it’s Biblical, but hesitate on the Scriptural … Continue reading →
