Thanks for letting me vent last night (like you had a choice). Today has been a little more productive. I’m currently tackling a chapter on the topic of obedience; and on that subject, the kids and I got to talking and remembered an old hidden camera video I made back when we first studied Eve and her disobedience. The experiment lasted thirty minutes, but I cut the video down to around three. And no, I did not tell them to hang out by the plate of cookies (though it makes this project a lot more fun to watch)! If I’ve ever posted a must-watch video, this would be it. But yeah, I’m a little biased.

I still have a lot to say about marriage, too, though I’ve unfairly lost the right to offer those admonitions (or at least it feels that [...]

Graceful Words

I’m sitting here with my best friends. This isn’t rare, I sit with them every night.  At this moment, though, we are face to face (instead of computer to computer). As Tiff says, “Our profile pictures are moving,” and it’s glorious. Not all of us are here, though. There are holes…empty chairs. One of those chairs should be filled by this incredible, lovely woman who I am so honored, so privileged to know. As a [...]
