Bunyan Bit No. 2: Christ the Advocate
“There is someone to plead for you with the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely” (1 John 2:1). This thought will bring you relief when your faith is discouraged and afraid. Satan can take some of Christ’s other functions and twist them around to frighten us. [...]
Happy Birthday, Steve-o!
Man, our little man is three! How time flies…
I am keeping a private blog of all of my sweet and sappy mommy thoughts for my kids, so I will refrain from going on and on here. I just want the world to know how much we love this son of ours and how [...]
Happy Birthday, Mama!
It’s a happy day for me to wish my mother a beautiful birthday. I am so thankful for my mom and how much she means to me. I have pondered how grateful I am many times, and with each new day and week I become more thankful. She is a wonderful [...]
Bunyan Bit No. 1: Conscience
This is my first posting of the “nuggets” that I will be posting regularly from John Bunyan which I mentioned in my previous post. There are so many that I have already marked and highlighted; they are so good! So I just picked one of the ones I have read first and will post [...]

Maybe it’s Maybelline?
I have been pouring over some deep stuff in my mind that I want to post for several days. I’m excited. But right now I am awake and deeply disturbed by a random question that is burning inside my head (or, on my face, rather):
Does anybody know if it’s bad to go [...]
Pregnant Tummy Pictures
Well, here is baby Shepherd hanging out at 27 weeks. Sorry for the not so glamorous pictures and the bad hair. There were a few with me smiling like a cheese ball, but they were blurry. Everyone tells me that he looks very high; my prediction is that he is already [...]
Baby Clothes Quilt
A few weeks ago I sifted through mounds of clothes in attempt to downsize our closets, and the materials for a quilt project resulted pretty quickly just by cutting 6.5″ squares (6″ finished) from most of the baby clothes. Much of the nice clothes I am passing down to my sisters, but there are [...]
What’s on your screen?
Tonight after doing some work I was sitting and staring at my desktop. A few months ago I made a screenshot of some of my Flickr Favorites (some copyrighted, some not) and plastered them up with a happy shade of yellow surrounding them. Honestly every time I look at these, they flood [...]
No, I promise…
… my blog is not dead.
I am buried in work and family stuff right now, and the irony is I have so much I want to spill on my blog about what I am reading and what God is teaching me. It will wait, though.
I am uploading some software files to a [...]
