I’m testing out a Bible Reading Plan (linked below) that’s based on RC Sproul’s suggested reading list for a broad overview of the Bible. These 25 books are […]
Advent countdowns are hit or miss. I went through a 5 year phase of believing I could put together some ultimate resource to help build a fun countdown that could be a little different each year, and those small alterations could make it more exciting or fun. There’s no ultimate resource. I’m sharing a failed […]
I’ve been back and forth between loving the old nativity scene and feeling a little unenthused about it.
