High Fidelity - pt 1

Our Advent series at church this year centers on the Gospel in Ruth. Our Pastor, Justin, has opted to call this series "high fidelity: love & the gospel in ruth". You can hear the sermons from this series HERE as they become available.

I am thrilled to get to sit through a full month (intro week before advent, so we get 5 sermons in our Advent series!) of insight into this book. It is one of my favorites in the Bible. That's because it's short and easy to read, and compelling, and wraps up nicely, like my favorite fairy tales. It's not uncomfortable or upsetting. Or, rather, it wasn't.

Thanksgiving Craft

Today, I'm going to chat about the little bit of crafty fun we did to round out the Thanksgiving decor for our dinner tomorrow. We are hosting two neighbor families, so there will be 11 of us all together. The menu just keeps getting longer and the dishes more exciting, but we are thrilled to share the holiday with our neighbors!

The kiddos and I decided to whip together this happy little Come Gather banner this afternoon. It was super easy.

Banner over the office doors, one of the first things you see when you enter our home.

Why a Blog? Why now?

Why in the world would I want to start writing a blog when I've got two little boys at home already? When I run our household as well as the Children's Church program at our church? When I am homeschooling our 5 year-old and tutoring his class in a Classical Conversations program? When I am already trying to build relationships in an intentional way around our neighborhood?
