I’m always amazed by how God often provides the teachings you need before you need them.This blog post connects many things that have happened the last four months of 2017 with what I have learned through Bible Study and from two sermons our pastor preached.

The Honeymoon
Hi! I’m back! I made it through the wedding, married my beloved, disappeared from the internet world (mostly) for about 2 weeks, and now I’m back. And still not online much because I have a house to put together. But I took today off of house work for the most part. So here I am […]
I don’t want a knight in shining armor
Mom mentioned the other day that she wishes my prince would show up soon. For some reason, that got me thinking about all the ways men are described when it comes to the men women want to marry. Prince Charming, beau, boyfriend, Knight in Shining Armor, etc. I don’t want any of those. Yes, I […]
Happy New Year!
When you read this post, I will be on my way to Tennessee for a conference, but I did want to make sure I wished everybody a Happy New Year. I am looking forward to the year 2015. Four friends are getting married between January and June and I get to help with two of […]

It will be us and two friends. We will have the typical Thanksgiving meal, though. But we will not be watching football. Here are a few […]

Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill […]
Christianity’s Dirty 10-letter Word, part 2
Last Friday, I wrote a post about submission and how it affects wives and how the word submission really shouldn’t be considered such a “dirty” word. Today, I am going to continue talking about submission and how it affects everybody, not just wives. What else is there? As I listened to Pastor Rogers’ sermon, he […]
Christianity’s Dirty 10-letter Word, part 1
On Wednesday, I heard part of Adrian Rogers’ sermon on “The Magnificence of Motherhood” and something Pastor Rogers said made what has always been such a huge debate in the church actually make sense. (Side note: the whole series Pastor Rogers is doing sounds excellent for anybody who is married or thinking about getting married). […]
I need your assistance
*Walks onto the internet stage with fear, trepidation, and a little bit of hope. Stopping at the podium, I clear my throat and open my mouth* Ladies and Gentlemen, After watching this video and getting a rather hard nudge or two from a friend (you know who you are 😉 ), I spent a couple […]
