When I was in school I took algebra, twice. I have trouble with numbers. It’s like my brain freezes up when presented with a series of numbers that I must rationally calculate in some form or pattern. I find it quite ironic that my 9 year old has the entirely opposite approach to math. He loves it, and computes and calculates completely in his head and gets frustrated with having to show steps.  Fuzzy Like my Brain I think I have math dyslexia. I don’t know if that is actually a problem or just an excuse for my lack of math skills, but I know that math of any kinds…

Then last evening at Wednesday night Bible class the topic came up again and I determined that I would get some thoughts down. Often in our human view of things we think we know what is right. I have heard many worldly people especially in recent times speak out against God by claiming that a true loving God would never authorize the work of genocide as found in the Bible, specifically His commands…

Originally Posted at This Week @ Great Peace AcademyOctober 11, 2011 I’ve recently been thinking a lot on this subject, Worship. I’ve been reading through the book of Exodus with a group of women on facebook. We are seeking to dig deep into the meat of God’s Word. Our goal for this month is to seek out shadows of the New Covenant in the book of Exodus. We want to see how the Old Covenant is a reflection of the New. For instance, in the Old Covenant God designated a very specific priesthood, from the tribe of Levi. Aaron and his sons were set apart to be the priests of…

It’s 5 Minute Friday. I join up with Lisa-Jo at Tales from a Gypsy Mama for a Link Up. It’s like a flash mob for bloggers. I loved the creative writing in high school when Mrs. Senator encouraged us to free write. To just put thought on paper without worrying about the form and function of grammar. Don’t get me wrong… I love to go back and edit to get it right, but there is freedom in writing at will. Lisa Jo provides us that opportunity. She gives us a topic, we spend just 5 minutes writing on the subject without much editing or worry about getting it right.Today’s Topic:…

For 2 days now the song, It is Well With My Soul, by Horatio Spafford has been playing in my mind. I find myself singing it throughout the day. It started shortly after hearing that a dear sister in the Lord is not doing well. She has end stage cancer and the family has been called together by the hospice staff. This family is dear to my husband and I. Through the years they have shown great love to us. We are grateful that they are in our life. They have gone through the fire over the past 2 years, yet their faith in the Father is strong and true.…

Having Beloved home during the day does have it’s advantages. I’m not super handy when it comes to building things. I find my patience wears a bit thin. So today Little Man needed to do a science experiment to study the aerodynamics of flight. That is soooo a boy thing. I figured since I’m not a boy and my Beloved is what could be better than to have Beloved and Little Man do this experiment together. Little Man discovered that a glider with long and narrow wings could fly farther than one with short and thick wings. Plus, the added bonus of Dad being Cool!

Today I was the featured writer over at Come Fill Your Cup. I wrote this article a few months back. What a lovely surprise that it was published on my birthday.  http://comefillyourcup.com/2012/10/01/mothers-in-waiting/
