I was recently talking to a friend whose daughters were going to stay with family for a week and she would have some time to herself after work each day. There were lots of things she could do like we all could when we find ourselves with our children at a summer camp or VBS…
How was your week this week? We’re getting hot and dry in Oregon after a long, cold spring, so things in the garden are perking up and needing a lot more water. Garden A friend dropped in earlier this week and we ended up in the garden. Some of my potato plants were looking about…
I don’t know if there’s a better time than now for us to reach this sermon in Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Spiritual Depression book and sermons. I’ve uploaded a free printable for you to take your own notes while you listen to the sermon (click the picture or click here.) You can listen to the sermon…
I overestimated how much time I’ll have to blog with the garden going strong. Oops. However, it looks like most of the plants are perking up with the warmer weather, but I lost an entire row of jalapeno peppers, which is super sad. Next week I’ll be pulling up the garlic that I planted last…
Here’s the update to the Homestead Notebook for June. I’m using it to track what I planted and how much I got from the plantings. This was such a long, cold, wet spring that it really messed up my crops. When it finally warmed up, almost every single cabbage went to seed. But I did…
I’m really trying to build a habit of doing routine things in a patient and thankful way. I’m not good at it. My usual way of doing things is ignoring something until it makes me crazy then working impatiently and furiously until it’s done. That makes everyone around me unhappy, including me. So I’m trying…
I thought I’d take some time to answer some questions I’ve gotten about the study through Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. How does the study work with the Workshop (part 1) and Part 2? The book we’re working through is Studies in the Sermon on the Mount (any version…
Today I’m finishing my interview with Sunshine, who worked through The Beatitudes Workshop. (You can read part one here.) The Workshop Sunshine is talking about is currently half off, as is the newly released second half of the study, this week only! Q: How do you avoid falling into the “checklist” trap, also known as…
First off, the second part of the series studying Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Studies in the Sermon on the Mount is available now! (And it’s half off through next week!) I think this is the most important Bible study you can do, over the biggest sermon Jesus gave. But I don’t want you to just take…
These books were from the first part of 2022 and I finally got them added to my reading notebook. I guess I was mostly reading fiction (and one memoir) earlier this year! All these reviews are pretty poor, but as I’m working through The Well Educated Mind, I’m learning how to read and review books…
