It's Here!

I promised a giveaway a while back. I said it would be sometime in May. Then I got busy. Here it is in June. Only the month after I expected. :] I can't quite remember but I think I blogged some about my personal study on the Lord's prayer or, more accurately, the Disciple's prayer. I learned quite a bit about how to pray. Prayer is the lifeline for Believers and I wanted/want to know how to pray. Really pray. Through the study I noticed some things I had not seen before. For instance- forgiveness comes after worship and petition. Do you know how unworthy/hideous/dirty you feel by the time you get to that point!?! My friend BrittneyLeanne inspired me (she seems to do that a lot) in two ways. 1. Take the points that I learned and put them on cards as prompts as she has done here . 2. Make one to share! This deck is not to be an all inclusive study tool. Its purpose is to help guide you as you pray as Jesus instructed us to. These are elements that must be i...

2 things part 2

My friend Abigail's husband, Taylor, has made what I think are a couple of very good points with regard to the nature of fantasy magic. Here is part of his response to my last post after edit 2.

Sorcery in the Bible, as far as I'm aware, almost always involves some kind of evil spiritual forces or the Devil himself. This is almost never the case in fantasy novels.

Otherwise, all miracles would be wrong, even those for a good purpose. In the Bible, sorcery is wrong because it relies on forces that are anti-God, and are used for purposes that are anti-God. This is very different from the magic in fantasy novels such as Narnia or LOTR. In fantasies, magic is simp...

Wonderful things Wednesday

I haven't had a Wonderful Things Wednesday in a long while. Today I got a wonderful thing. I figured I'd share it with ya. The one on left. I bought a piece of this luggage. The largest one. Yes, it is orange. Not usually my favorite color but, after the shock of spending that much money on one item that was NOT electronic, I think I may be in love. It has a hard back and a semi hard front with a pocket. Although I love Lana's purple one, this one is lighter and mine. I should quit talking before I go into buyers remorse and take it back. Oh dear...
