There is a new app. I downloaded for my iPhone that is awesome! It is called “FighterVerse”. It is an app that helps you memorize scripture. There are quizzes and “fill-in the blanks” that helps you memorize weekly scripture. And it really works! A couple of weeks ago the verse was Deuteronomy 6:4-5. I have read this scripture or heard it at least 50 times,
Pursued and Loved!
We are early in the adoption process. We have felt led to adopt for years but recently felt like God gave us the “green light” to start the process! We are planning on adopting through our State via a private agency. We want to adopt a child under the age of four. A child has to be in the State system a certain amount of
Seeing Our Inconveniences as Gospel Opportunities!
We live in an apartment. Even though my husband and I both grew up in the suburbs, we have a deep city-love! The way I feel when I look at a city skyline at night is how other people may feel about a beautiful waterfall. We aren’t downtown but we are “in the perimeter” and we love it!

I blame it on being creative, somewhat of

At first I thought this was much better than reading the many other things that I have seen on the back of bathroom stall doors but then on second thought
Summer Fun Bucket
Last summer, I had every intention to do fun things with my kids but inevitably failed. We did a couple “fun things”. This summer I have the same desire to have fun with my kids and enjoy this wonderful season. Our schedule is not as much busy as it is sporadic. We are living with our family so there is not as much set “schedule”
Philippians 4:8 Board
Our Sunday School class is doing a study called “Peace Maker”. It’s mainly about conflict resolution and taking the Biblical approach to solving relational issues in the home, church, and workplace. It is really great! A lot of good Truth! A couple of weeks ago the speaker (via video) was talking about one of his conflict resolution techniques in his counseling sessions. He had the
