What would you do differently? Or what do you wish you could have done, but at the time were unable to do so? We had a lovely wedding even though we were on a tight budget and tight timeframe. Overall I still like pretty much all of the choices we made. It was a joyous …
Okay, I hope I’m not opening a can of worms here. A favorite blog I frequent (daily) has recently gone through a bit of a “thing” because the blogger took off about two and a half weeks without announcing that she was taking a break. (The name of the blog is irrelevant and if you …
Sunday we formally dedicated Caroline at church. We had a lovely day, surrounded by many dear family members and friends. After the service we had everyone over to our home for lunch and enjoyed a time of fellowship and celebrating our wonderful little blessing. I decided to make things easy on myself so we ordered …
While walking on the treadmill, I’ve been working my way through Monarch of the Glen on DVD. In one of the earlier episodes, Katrina and Lizzie are discussing growing up. Katrina mentions that she remembers Lizzie was always burning her journals. Lizzie replies that it was because she was always trying to make a fresh …
I am already loving the True Womanhood group blog where I can participate but am not responsible for running it or responding to every comment. I can also discuss theological topics over there without having to “live with it” like I do here (as David explains it). I had my next post already figured out …
Katy left the following comment on another post and since I thought it would probably get lost there, I’m putting up my answer in a new post. (And don’t ever apologize for asking questions around here!) I’m sorry Sallie, but I have yet another question. My husband and I have decided to bottle feed; and …
Joanna asked a question in the Chatterbox about the purpose statement of the True Womanhood blog. If you are interested, I’ve started a discussion over there.
Now that I’ve given you a list of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40, it’s true confession time. One of the things I haven’t completely learned and continue to struggle with is the fear of man. To a certain extent I don’t really have a problem making decisions and not caring what anyone else …
I saved this last thing I’ve learned for the end. I wanted to post this on my birthday because it is probably the greatest truth I have learned and witnessed in my life. It encompasses many of the things I have already written about in this series. It speaks of why this blog is named …
I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 31. While it may not be the wisest course of action, debt is not a sin (unless God has specifically told you not to do something and you do it anyway). Being in debt and paying it back according to the agreement and …
I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 21. Bad people happen to good Christians. Bad Christians happen to good Christians. Good Christians suffer for the sins of others. 22. Giving people the benefit of the doubt goes a long way. Trust but verify. 23. Hindsight is always 20/20. 24. Hindsight …
I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 20. God will put you in places of influence you would never expect and in ways you could never anticipate. Have you ever played that game where you share facts about yourself, but you mix them in with non-facts and then people have …
