“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.” (John 1:16-18) GRACE UPON GRACE Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. From […]
Wednesdays In The Word: John 1:14 (hits home)
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 (I promised last week to write more about the word skenoo, but that will have to wait.) This will be a personal post, today, and it’s going to […]
When Mama Goes Crazy
These have been hard days for this mama. The holidays passed and suddenly it was time for school again, long before I was ready. Not that ready was going to happen–my idea of ‘ready’ right about now entails a two week vacation to Italy (alone), and, well, that kind of ready will have to wait. We were asked […]
Wednesdays In The Word: John 1:14
Welcome back! It has been crazy over here for the past month and after a four-day weekend over New Year’s I finally feel like I’m catching my breath. I’m glad to get back into the swing of a normal routine, and I’ve enjoyed digging into John in preparation for these weekly posts. Today we’re going […]
Wednesdays In The Word: John 1:9-13
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in […]
The Truth Behind Pinterest Worthy Images
On Monday morning the kids and I created an advent garland. Sure, we were a week into Advent, and yes, it had taken me that entire week to wrap my mind around this project after reading a tutorial over at Five In Tow. All I wanted was something to help the four year old count […]
School Spaces in Real Life
We school primarily in our dining room, and by the end of the day, our table looks like this: Even though we pick up thoroughly before each meal and bedtime, it’s quite possible that come three or four o’clock in the afternoon a small child has been lost in the disarray. The swiftness with which this room […]
In which Ellen White never raises her voice
Part of my husband’s inheritance as a fourth generation Seventh-Day Adventist was a vast collection of red-covered books by one of the church’s key founders, Ellen White. Most of the books were passed down from his great-grandfather, and at one point we had two whole shelves of these tiny tomes. Now, I have had a love-fear relationship with Ellen […]
Morning Thoughts: Christ and Humanity
I am up early with my girls today. One wakens with the after-affects of a bloody nose spread across her skin, the other wakens with a belly full of giggles. We bathe, share bananas, and I brew a cup of coffee – a real treat, something I don’t usually get to consume. The sunrise is […]
Abide In Christ
As we enter a new week, may we lay down our distractions, our worries, our burdens, our fears; may we cease chattering; may fidgeting flee. May we have the strength to meet with quiet hearts our challenges, our joys, our griefs, our tests; may our moments of wonder, moments of pain and all the plodding mundanities be well […]
