It’s Not Wednesday, but I Love This Stuff
I read about the What I Love Wednesday linky party at Ruthanne's. She apologized for being a day late. I think I can get by with two days late since it's all new to me (I think it's a new linky party, period; this is week 4.) Here are some things I've found online...
Broken, Earthen Vessels
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and...

Facing Fiona
She crawls into bed with me this morning, carrying a small toy, and a two-year-old wound reopens, fresh. "Guess where I got my doll?" she asks. It's been some time since I've seen it, and I don't want to look at it, talk about it now. I swallow. "The movies." "Guess!"...
31 Days of Encouragement: Hiding the Word {Day 31}
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. ~Psalm 119:11 31 days, 31+ scriptures. The Bible tells us that hiding God's word in our hearts helps keep us from sinning against Him. This month has been a wonderful time of reflection for me, a...
