A New Year. A time to reflect on the successes and failures of the prior year and a time to plan for the future. How did 2015 year develop? My year was an average year – some good, some bad. The good: I learned several new techniques in knitting and crochet, started developing several patterns, […]

A New Beginning – bible studies for 2014
I wasn’t sure if I was crazy or not, but I recently started two different Bible studies at the same time. In the past it’s sometimes been a struggle to keep up with one. What’s my verdict after the first week? I think this was the best decision I’ve ever made! The first study was […]

The 2nd Annual “Living and Active” Challenge

Today starts The 2nd Annual “Living and Active” Challenge! over at Peak313. I participated in this last year and just like every other […]
Accountability #1
Last spring I learned about a website called Good Morning Girls which was organizing a bible study to study Proverbs 31 over the summer. They encourage those that want to follow along to create or join an accountability group – through email, Facebook, twitter, or some other means. The idea is to check in with your group […]
