A Choice for Now

In my last post, Choosing Between Good Things, I mentioned I might have to put my blog on hiatus. I've decided that instead of a full stop, I'm going to post on it when I can instead of posting regularly. As for a few other choices going on in life, I've got those...

Choosing Between Good Things

I have things to plan and work for regarding the future, and to do so I must figure out what things to give up in the present, if only temporarily. I don't want to give things up. I feel like I shouldn't give up some of them. But I do need to at least consider doing...

Things God Created

In Sunday School for the past few Sundays, we've been teaching the little kids about God creating everything. Yesterday morning the teacher was asking the kids to name things that God created. They named various animals and plants, and had a good time. Then in my head...
