May Booklist #2

Now that May is officially over, here are the other four books I read this month. I'm still laughing at the shear number of books I've read this year. I was expecting these monthly recaps to hold 2 or 3 books max, hopefully reaching my lofty goal of 23 books - and here am I, topping out May with 8 books and sitting at 53 books for the year! This was honestly a great set - three 5 stars and a 4 - so all books I'd recommend! The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry* 5 Stars: ... continue reading...

You must Love Your Neighbor As Yourself

This year I am reading through the Bible in a year. More specifically, and more accurately, I am reading the whole Bible chronologically and hopefully finishing in a year. I've been a Christian for the majority of my life, and the four years preceding that I heard the gospel preached and the Bible stories read aloud. So many (if not most) of these words are not new to me. What is new is the specific intention to read the whole Bible as one bigger story chronologically from cover to cover. I ... continue reading...

April Booklist

I cannot believe it is already another month and time for another booklist! I also cannot believe I am blowing my 23 book goal for 2023 out of the water! I'll tell you, when I switched from podcasts to audiobooks, my book count skyrocketed! HAHA! I am excited to share April's books with you because some of them were really great (and others were not so much ;) ) As you read this post, keep in mind: When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin* My first WWII book of the year and I'm so glad to ... continue reading...

Thorin’s Easter Sunday Baptism

April 9th, 2023 Easter is a special day for the church body as a whole as we celebrate how Jesus overcame death on the cross, bearing the weight of all our sins, and rose again bringing us with Him into new life but it is also a significant day in our little family. All three of our children were baptized on Easter Sunday - counting them as God's people. Hilde in 2019, Millie in 2021, and Thorin in 2023. Something Bruce and I didn't initially plan or dream for our children, but now something ... continue reading...
