Bullet Journal plans for 2023 Next year will be my 10th year of bullet journaling! A decade of my life is now recorded in Bullet Journals. So, I was thinking that’s a pretty big milestone, and based on all the questions and comments I’ve gotten over the years, maybe 2023 will be a good time…
Here in Oregon, we went from summer to winter in about a week. My garden loved the extra warm days of October, and it eeked out a few more tomatoes and green beans, but all the fall planted lettuce quickly went to seed. But we are solidly into the colder, rainy days (shhhh, don’t tell…
Lately I’ve been meditating on hope. I want to really know what hope is (not just nod and assent to a vague definition of the word). What does hope like with work boots on, not all dressed up for church? How is hope lived out in every day ordinary life? What does it look like…
Bullet Journal I set up my October journal pages (late, but at least I did it!), and kept them pretty simple. The first page is going to be filled in with doodles of memories, like framed pictures on a wall. I’ll write in a verse I’m trying to memorize on the bottom of the page….
This is the ninth sermon by the late Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in a series he preached titled Spiritual Depression.

How are you guys doing? Are you preparing for the new school year? This is kind of like the second January of the year, a great time to refocus and make some goals. I’m also reviewing my goals and making some changes. Lower Prices on EVERYTHING Speaking of changes, the first big change I want…
In this sermon my Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones he discusses feelings, and how to deal with them biblically. He is basing the sermon off of 2 Timothy 1:6. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. You can find the sermon in…
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Let’s just get the bad out of the way first: My garden STILL has aminopyralid herbicide in the compost. ARGH! Rather than dig the poison compost out, we built up by adding lots of rotted wood, good compost, and layers of other mulch last…
The more the church was afflicted, the more it multiplied. Matthew Henry I recently finished studying the book of Acts in Volume 4 of the I Will Meditate journals. On reviewing my pages after finishing, I noticed a big theme of persecution with multiple examples of how to live well under persecution. Living the Christian…
