Hey everyone! I was reading my usual blogs today and Luke's post inspired me to check out the James MacDonald website. There are some categorized articles available on the site, and here is one that stuck out to me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! It's mostly just a great reminder and a comfort to recognize that God is...
Printed at the top of the Morton AC Church calendar is a new memory verse each month. July's calendar displayed 2 Timothy 2:15. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." (KJV)Study... a word with a possible negative connotation for some of us (especially the college students :-) but when...
This week has been busy, intense, fun, and amazing. It was my first week living away from home. A lot of people ask me if it is weird. My response- yes and no. At the beginning, since everything was so new and different, maybe just a little. But NOW... yeah, I'm lovin' it. Like the McDonald's motto, but better.It helps tremendously that all...
Tonight I read about a big uh-oh in 1 Chronicles. Let me share.So, David is in the process of bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. For a little background, "The ark of God (aka The Ark of the Covenant)... the most sacred object of the Hebrew faith, it was a large box containing the stone tablets on which God had...
Wednesday night was my first night in my apartment. Very weird. Yet, I am excited.Tricia and I were the only two there. It is kind of crazy what all happened to us in a 24 hour period, but you can definitely tell we two are new at it. One of the things that happened is worthy of being posted about, so here goes.All...
Tonight, I went to Benefit Dinner Choir Practice.What's that?Every two years, Morton AC Church holds a Benefit Dinner in early November for two nights (at the Fellowship Hall). The Bible Class is trained, almost professionally (thanks to Lynn Roeschley, the lady always in charge of the delicious food!), how to formally wait on tables and a very nice meal is served by them....
After I wrote my "On the Move" post tonight, I thought about how lucky I am. And that caused me to be thankful. For...-a great, fun, and REALLY close family who is so supportive in EVERYTHING-a really nice apartment that I get to move in to and live in for at least the next year with some amazing girls-my brother, sisters, parents and...
This weekend, I went to Oak Run with my family. Guess what? It was cloudy and rainy the whole time. Like my family joked, we didn't get ANY rain this whole summer and the one weekend we go away to enjoy it... it rains. Ah, well. We ddin't much mind as long as Morton was getting some precipitation, too... and it was. So...
Nooooo!!!!! It's GONE!Everyone sing without me:"Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday.Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang, bang.Gone like a '59 Cadillac,Like all the good things that ain't never coming back.She's gone (Gone),Gone, (Gone),Gone, (Gone),Gone.She's gone."AND... to top off my voice being gone, I didn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned until 2:30 when I actually gout out of...
As I was sitting here, looking up at my bulletin board full of pictures of memories, I couldn't help but remember what a great summer I have had. So... this post is dedicated to some of my best summer memories.I really should just be getting to bed. Something started getting to me last night (probably allergies) and I woke up this morning with...
I just got back from playing volley ball at Jeff Weigand's for the third time in my life. So let me just state the obvious: I'm not good at volley ball. But somehow, I still manaage to have a lot of fun when I go. Every week, it seems to be a different crowd, so it's fun to get to know others and...
Anyone know what Jim Carrey movie that's from? Not too hard to figure out if you've seen it... it's a good one. I like that quote and will try my hardest to use it periodically throughout this post so as to tie it in with my many stories and thoughts.I went to Emily Endress's apt. last night and ate supper with some girls...
If the field of graphic design and multimedia wasn't such an easy road to travel down as far as education, business, and interest (in my case) goes, then I would be a writer. I suppose that I will always be a writer, it just won't be my occupation. And if writing wasn't an option, I would pursue my FASCINATION.Do any of you have...
I was sitting outside tonight (a BEAUTIFUL evening to be outside) reading my devotions. I was scheduled to read Leviticus 22-24 tonight. Now, to give a brief background... "The overwhelming message of Leviticus is the holiness of God-- 'Be holy becasue I, the Lord your God, am holy.'" That was taken out of the introdcutory page of the book of Leviticus in my...
