I just posted my list of books read in 2009. I was surprised the total ended up at only 42 (though I’d say the 1400+ pages of Les Mis has to count for at least five books, dontcha think? ) Some people think I read a lot, but I’m nowhere near Carrie’s 132!
I’ve [...]

As we prepare to usher in the New Year I wanted to take this time and reflect on the many life changing events that happened in 2009. Early this year we spent the last few remaining days of my brother’s life in hospice. On February my family had a sad reunion to fulfill my [...]

I am back in the States for a short Christmas visit. It has been seven months since I was here, which I realize is not a long time, compared to some other friends who have not been to the States for years.

First post:
New Year’s Meditations.
Favorite post:
Hard to choose between three different favorites this month, but I’ll say When children’s beliefs and practices differ from our own.

By God’s grace, psalms and hymns from ChurchWorksMedia.com are being used in churches and schools around the United States, and even beyond. We’re humbled by God’s allowing us to point people Christ-ward through doctrinally rich, musically fresh hymns. We hope to continue doing so for years to come.
We’re also grateful to the few who have [...]

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas week! Ours was very nice.
I thought I’d share with you just a few tidbits from the past week.
