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…
As many of you know, last year our youngest graduated from homeschool high school. I’ve been slowly re-adjusting how I spend my time and thinking about what to do in this next stage of life. As I’ve been adjusting to more quiet around the house, and actually having silence while I fold clothes or weed…
Normally this time of year I have all the garden planted, but the weather has been cold and rainy with a few warm days here and there, so I’ve been planting and sowing seeds when I can. I feel a bit behind, but I think everything will pull through okay before the fall frost. The…
As I’m studying through 1 Peter for the upcoming Journal and Doodle study, I reached 1 Peter 3:15. …but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. 1…
…but sanctify Christ as Lord in you hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence…” 1 Peter 3:15 As I’m continuing to work through 1 Peter to write a new Journal and Doodle study…
