Hello again!

-

My dear readers (as few as that may be), I apologize for the lack in posts.  Since my last one my sister got married (can't WAIT to share more about that!). I went to Italy for 10 days with my dad and celebrated Thanksgiving. It's been a busy couple of weeks to say the least!

Please stay tuned for a more normal update! :)

Blessings to all!

New moth, new verse

-
Image
It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be ...

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross - Hymn for July

-

While the words of this hymn were etched onto my years ago, the richness and truth of this song ring true even more so today. When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss,  and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through His blood. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorry and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,  Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine,  That were a present for too small. Love so amazing, so divine,  Demands my soul, my life, my all.  What a beautiful song! I encourage you all to take a moment and read about it (click  here ). Then once you've done that, I would recommend giving it a listen (you can do that by clicking  here ).  And as you near the end of this short post, I would hope that yo...

"Fool's Paradise" - Scale (Acts 9:18)

-
(I meant to post this yesterday, but with computer and internet issues, it was delayed a day) My blogging buddy, and dear friend, Heidi posted a fun question  on her blog not long ago. The title of her post is Ring Around the Rose Week 3 ~ Dragon Conversation,  and the question was this: How would you go about talking a dragon out of eating you, especially if no weapons were available? Click on the link to read her full, and very entertaining story!   For me, I decided to make my answer into a little story.  Please read and enjoy. :) I would first have to remind myself to stay calm - dragons can sense fear and trembling (two things for which I am very good at completing).  After the shock, I regain what little strength I have left and slowly turn around, trying to get a glimpse at the distance of the cave entrance and wondering whether or not if I'll be able to make a run for it without getting burnt to a crisp.  Then, deep from ...
