I often have these “flashes” of inspiration. Most of the time, it leads to a new project for me. A lot of the time it happens on Monday morning. By noon on Monday, I usually have half a sheet of paper filled with notes to my self for project ideas.
This week, my inspiration must have [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Faithfulness
Yes, I know, we skipped goodness. Don’t worry, we will come back for it. We skipped over goodness because while the girls are studying the fruits of the spirit, the boys have been studying the virtues of saint Joseph (based on this book). Their next virtue was faithfulness, so we decided to skip ahead and [...]

What’s On Your Nightstand?
One of my new favorite blogs is 5 Minutes for Books. Every 4th Tuesday, they ask readers, “what’s on your nightstand?” While it is tons of fun to read all the different answers that come through, it’s also dangerous because it adds a few books to my list of reading material!
This month I decided to [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Kindness

The Great Debate
This post made me laugh
It tackles that age-old debate..is it soda? is it pop? or is it coke?
The most surprising part to me was how far spread the “coke” answer is. I thought it was more contained to Texas and maybe some surrounding states. This is a good thing.
It also reminded me of a time [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Patience
It’s been awhile, I know! We covered patience a few weeks ago. Then we had XLT. This week we talked about something completely different. So technically, I’m not that far behind. But here’s what we talked about:
Patience is a characteristic of God: Exodus 34:6
Colossians 3:12-13
Psalm 37:7-10
James 5:7-8, 10-11
Example of someone with no patience:
Sarah!
Read Genesis 15:5, [...]
