God is just so cool! We’ve now moved into the portion of Genesis where we’re introduced to Noah. Like many others, I find reading through chapters of geneologies tedious. Genesis chapter 5 has never been especially filled with application for me. I’m sure there’s truth in there, but all those names and the litany of… Continue reading What’s in a name?

The Rock Cries Out!
I love it when a plan comes together! Last year, I had the privilege of directing the first-ever preschool Worship & Arts summer camp at McFBC. Because we joined the church after Easter, we had a very short window of time to plan and implement the week-long camp. But despite the shortcomings, God blessed our… Continue reading The Rock Cries Out!
A Pleasing Sacrifice
It just doesn’t seem fair. You know, the story of Cain and Abel. Both guys work the land: Cain is a farmer and Abel is a rancher. Both guys bring a sacrifice of their labors to God. God is pleased with Abel’s but Cain’s is rejected. Why? Well, because God requires a sacrifice of blood. … Continue reading A Pleasing Sacrifice
Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
This week has been nuts. Completely nuts. I feel like a whirling dervish, scurrying from one activity to another, and yet, despite the frenzy I am not totally worn out. Yet. One of the things that has got me so wired is the upcoming Blue & Gold banquet for Cub Scouts. This is the annual… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
Dear Debily: An Advice Column
A friend of mine recently asked me for some advice. I know! ME! Advice! Whodathunkit? Anyhoo, her boss was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and I guess with my husband having cancer and all she figured I might be qualified to answer the question of how to best help show support and care during this time. … Continue reading Dear Debily: An Advice Column
Twisted
Over the last few weeks in my study of Genesis, I’ve been awestruck at just how awesome our God is. Our God is fantastically great. And unfortunately, Satan is fantastically evil. A blogger on my blogroll has written a very insightful post on the subject of the fall, one which truly resonated with me. I… Continue reading Twisted
Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
You know what? I’m really blessed. I’m blessed with a wonderful family. A family that makes me laugh, cry, and pull my hair out. A family that keeps me on my toes and grounds me to this earth. A family that makes my life crazy and keeps me sane. I couldn’t live without ’em and… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
Seeing Stars
This week, the focus in our Bible study was on the lights God created to rule the Day and Night. This would mean the sun and moon, as well as the stars. Matt has already done an uber-cool post on the awesomeness of our God as revealed through the stars, so my insight will be… Continue reading Seeing Stars
And on the 7th day, God created…
It seems I have something to learn. Either that, or God has an incredible sense of humor. Our pastor has just begun a new sermon series on the book of Genesis. Cool stuff. Matt and I have been anticipating this for nearly a year and are so pumped about it! And the spring semester of… Continue reading And on the 7th day, God created…
Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
What can I say? I know there’s a lot for me to be grateful for this week, but in my mind there’s really only one worth mentioning. This week, I’m grateful for healing. I’m grateful for doctors who provide medicine and care to help sick people get well…people like my husband, who as of this… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
