Hannah Update

 
Well, it looks as though our suspicions have been confirmed. Hannah does have Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Ugh! That just sounds awful!), and, there is really nothing we can do but wait it out. Thankfully she does not seem to be in much (if any) pain or discomfort from it. Her fever disappeared by Tuesday, and she […]

Sick Day

Poor little girl…Hannah woke up this morning with a fever of 101! This is the first time she has been “sick.” (I attribute the episode on the Texas freeway to motion sickness, since it was a one-time event. After a series of shots at her 6 month check-up she did have a fairly high fever, […]

The Glory of Divine Grace

Another great, thought-provoking question from the GirlTalk Blog Book Club. This week’s chapter was on the life of Rahab…

It seems like all of those “earthly inconveniences” happen all at once…or at least within close proximity to each other. Just a few weeks ago we had a […]

Refined Dirt

John MacArthur rarely makes me laugh. He almost always makes me think, but he rarely makes me laugh. He has managed to do both, so far, in his book, Twelve Extraordinary Women. So, I just had to share what has to be the funniest quote in this book (or, at least in the first chapter!):

“Adam […]

Tokens of God’s Goodness

Another one from the GirlTalk Book Club file:
John MacArthur writes in chapter one: “We need to go back to Scripture to see what God’s ideal for a woman really is. And the biblical account of Eve is an excellent reminder of what a woman’s true priorities ought to be.”
How did this chapter influence how you […]
