Are the High Places Removed?

Have you done a Bible-in-a-year challenge? I’ve been doing it for two to three years now and it’s been amazing. I had a plan on YouVersion, which has audio, so I would play the audio and listen as I did chores. It was a chronological challenge, so I was reading through 1st & 2nd Kings

Okay, so remember these? Here is their cousin. I know this list is small and I am not an *expert* at these kinds of lists. But I do want to share about the books I suggest reading if you’re writing WWI. As a starting point, maybe. 😉 1. A Treasury of War Poetry: British &

Lest We Forget

November 11. The day set apart to honour those who fell on the field of battle. Pin on a poppy. Post something on your social media about heroes laying down their lives. Listen to a national anthem, salute a flag, stand for a minute in silence. But why? What are you honouring? Whom are you

October 2022 Wrap-Up

I have no idea where October went, because I have no idea what happened in October and I did not give permission for November to happen. (If you did, you should be fired.) #obviouslyjustkidding But I can’t be the only one who feels like that, right?? However, time goes on regardless of how we feel

Stop Waiting for Life

I got my permit several years ago, as a nineteen- or twenty-year-old (really, those years seem light ages away now, thanks to everything that’s happened since…). Of course, that wasn’t my idea. My parents signed me up for the classes, knowing otherwise I’d never take the plunge, because I never do unless someone shoves me

What’s Your WIP? Blog Tag

It’s almost November, y’all, and that calls for WRITING PREP! I don’t do NaNoWriMo anymore, but I do try to write a book in November every year, and I’m excited to dive back in after a year of little writing 🙂 So I’m going to be doing my old WHAT’S YOUR WIP? tag with my

September 2022 Wrap-up

Well, guys, September’s a wrap. I honestly feel like it was June just the other day… but on the other hand I feel like January was centuries ago. So there’s that. I can’t remember what happened this month, but let’s see what I can come up with. || Highlights & Lowlights // The Queen passed.

A Thanksgiving Song

I thank Thee, Lord, for home and hearth,For flowers and plants that fill the earth,For trees that sway and birds that sing,For family laughs that makes roofs ring. I thank Thee, Lord, for rivers strong,For men and ships oft’ thereupon,For cooling breeze and waves that hiss,For hours spent beneath Sun’s kiss. I thank Thee, Lord,

Trust & Honour With My Whole Heart // Five Fall Favourites Day 4

Day 4/6—only 2 days left!! *cries* I’m so not ready for this to end! But that reminds me of a quote from Heidi (which I haven’t read in years and which I really need to reread soon): “Oh grandmama, if I could only wait up here for Schwänli and Bärli! I am afraid I shan’t
