Mark His Word
This morning I began a journey through the Book of Daniel in the Bible. I pulled out a copy of the Bible that I read a couple years ago to see the notes I’d made in Daniel. There was so much there! As I read through this Bible, I turned it into my own personal Continue reading

Weekend Recap
A recap of this fun and busy weekend: On Friday we went to Oxford, Pennsylvania to spend the night at Michael & Kristen’s house (Carolyn’s sister & her husband). We hung out with them for awhile that night and ate some totally delicious cake that Kristen had made. On Saturday we went to Sight & Continue reading

Valentines
The past couple days Carolyn and I have been writing valentines for a bunch of kids. She’s been working on valentines for her students, and I’ve been working on them for the children at the Training Station. It sure does bring back memories! It’s been over 20 years since I’ve done the whole valentine thing. Continue reading

Prayer & Peace: It Actually Works!
The 101 heart rate I wrote about a couple days ago in this post really caught my attention. It jolted me out of the stress-denial bubble I’ve been living in and forced me to confront the reality of my stress level and how I let it get that far. Every night I lay awake with Continue reading

“Let’s Be Friends”
Just to clarify my post from yesterday: I’m not anti-TNIV. It’s just that I prefer the plain ol’ NIV. The TNIV and I are still friends, we’re just not dating anymore. Continue reading

Weekend Recap
Another eventful weekend! Here’s a brief recap: Thursday afternoon and evening were absolutely beautiful. Opaque gray sky with softly falling snow for hours. Felt like I was in a snow globe. We had to cancel our small group because the snow was sticking to the roads, but it sure was awesome weather. Carolyn had a Continue reading

Holiday Catchup
Carolyn and I had a really great break over the holidays, even though she’s had a pretty bad cold the past couple days. Since I didn’t blog much at all over the past week or two, here’s a wrap up of recent stuff: Once again I’m reminded of how important breaks are. After going strong Continue reading

Beautiful Soup
Linda, my mother-in-law, made the best soup ever for Carolyn and me last night. It was so good that the leftovers I had for lunch today were even better than it was last night! I’ve never had that happen before. She is such a good cook that every time I eat her cooking it inspires Continue reading

Epipotheo
Yesterday I learned a cool new Greek word: epipotheo. I came across it while I was studying Philippians 1:8. In the Bible, the sixteenth chapter of Acts tells the story of how Paul the church planter started a new church in the ancient European city of Philippi. After some pretty wild experiences there, he moved Continue reading

Home Alone, Part 14
Carolyn should be back home in about an hour. She’s been gone for the past couple days at a conference near Baltimore. While she was away I made a self-discovery: I don’t think I’m mature enough to be left by myself. Last night I stayed up playing until 1:30, and all I’ve had to eat Continue reading
