I was looking through my e-mail folders today... It's amazing. I still have e-mails from 2 or 3 years ago! Many of them needed to be deleted. I came across a few interesting forwards, though. Some of you may have seen this, but if you have time, try it out. It's kind of interesting!..."Dr. Phil gave this test on Oprah she got a...

This morning I was thinking about wisdom, and how I needed some.I read in 2 Chronicles about Solomon's wisdom, and I asked myself the question, "How did he get so much wisdom?" I'm memorizing James 1 right now and the verse that was reverberating in my mind earlier when I was having thoughts about wisdom was, "If any of you lack wisdom, let...

The most amazing thing happened this weekend.I rode out to Taylor with the most fun people EVER to go on a road trip with: Heather Knobloch, Tricia Plattner, Tracy Zimmerman, and Jordan Schroeder. We laughed a lot. Actually, some of us laughed almost TOO much, because as Heather (probably correctly) assesed near the end of our journey yesterday, this comment being directed towards...

Ohhh, tonight was fun.Guess what? For the first time in... um, EVER, we finally got a picture of all 4 T's! After ISU Bible Study, we all (ok, basically I did) decided that we needed to do something wild and crazy. We never really accomplished that task, but we tried to. Tracy and I sang all the way home from BS in the...

I have been slightly stressed out lately, and that is uncharacteristic of myself.I don't know if "stressed out" is the correct term. I'm not pulling my hair out or running around like a mad woman, but I feel like I have been on edge lately. Maybe a better phrase would be "a lot of stacked up unecessary worrying."Matthew 6:27Who of you by worrying...

Look! I can write in colors, now! I LOVE colors. So much. Guess what I'm doing right now? Eating out of a Cookies 'n Cream ice cream carton. I poured Hershey's chocolate syrup all over the last 5-6 bites and am eating it. Hey, that's the joy of living on my own. My mom can't come in and say, "Taryn, that's so gross,...

Last night was the first night where I could not sleep due to a storm in a LONG time. Usually, I sleep like a rock. Give me five minutes and if I'm tired enough, I'm out like a light for the rest of the night. The other night, I went to sleep holding a pillow and woke up in the same position holding...

I am going to provide a character profile of a trait, and I want you to tell me what it is.It is...*Patient*Kind*Protective*Trusting*Hoping*Persevering*UnfailingIt is NOT...*envious*boastful*proud*rude*self-seeking*easily angered*delighted in evilWhat is it?If that all sounded familiar, it is because you have probably heard it described many times in 1 Corinthians 13. The trait I was describing is love. Yet, I hate to just stop there. It...

Could you run a mile?If asked to do this, most of us could probably whip out a mile. Even those of us who are out of shape... running a mile isn't THAT big of a feat. What about running a mile with a book bag full of bricks on your back? Suddenly, the task seems difficult. Our backs would be weighed down and...

inter; cursor:hand;">Isn't that a cool picture? When I got home tonight, I ran inside my apartment, darted up the stairs, grabbed my Canon, shot back outside and into the open field across from our apartments and then halted. Off to my left was the most BEAUTIFUL sunset I have seen in awhile and I wasn't going to miss my chance. I took some...

The disaster in New Orleans makes me sick. For awhile, I though that my only source of helping power was to pray. This morning in church, Brother Bob Pflederer led in with the tragic New Orleans news, and took the liberty to open up into Revelation. He read of the end times when the seven seals would be opened, and horrible plagues and...

For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;...

Proverbs 20:24- A man's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?Proverbs 21:30- There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.I may have already mentioned this in a previous post but it is applicable here so I'm going to say it again: I saw a girl at the Leo Sale wearing...
