Hi, everyone! Have you read about Katie’s and Bailey’s blog series, An Inspired Season? It looks like lots of fun and they’re both bloggers I really like, so I thought I’d hop on board. Here’s today’s prompt: Introduce yourself by writing your biography as if being interviewed for The New York Times, sharing your history, accomplishments, and where you… Read More An Inspired Season: Introduction
This week, we focused on Genesis and Hebrew oral tradition. I know I’ve written before about how I feel bogged down in Genesis . . . well, in the five books of Moses . . . well, in the Old Testament in general . . . BUT because I’m so excited about seeing the thread… Read More Seamless: Week One
I’m so excited about the summer Bible study of Angie Smith’s Seamless that Lifeway is hosting on their blog! The first post is about getting to know the women participating in the study, especially why they were drawn to Seamless. For me, Seamless is exactly what I need in terms of putting the Bible together… Read More Starting Seamless
One of my favorite benefits of EfM this past year has been time for bible study, both independently and in community. Having the opportunity to read the bible along with corresponding research, scholarship, and historical information and then getting to discuss it with others has been so good for me.

And it’s been successful… Read More Moving for the Obsessive-Compulsive
There was a very cool program at the museum that involved local artists working with floral design. And there was champagne. I’ve been reading Make It Happen by the ever–inspiring Lara Casey. Truth be told, I started reading my Kindle edition the day it came out and planned to join an… Read More Life Lately
. . . courtesy of amazing Gracie. Have a beautiful Tuesday, friends. (Or a lazy one. You know we won’t judge.)
This was our closing prayer at EfM earlier this week. I thought I’d share it here just in case you’re feeling the weight of the world every time you read the news, too. A Prayer for World Peace, 1978 Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle; the strength to be forgiving; the patience… Read More A Prayer for World Peace
UPDATE: While I enjoyed these boxes, I think it’s only fair to let you know that Try the World charged me for two additional boxes that I never received. I’m currently trying to resolve this issue, but it’s difficult because there is NO contact phone number for customer service, only email (I know it’s the 21st… Read More Try the World Review
