Hi all. I am taking an online class and getting rid of my internet to help pay for my Dave Ramsey Baby Steps. This means my online time has been more limited to the class and other important stuff while on my lunch break or at the coffee house on the weekends. I save money [...]

Don’t Waste Your Life
Hi, I have had a grueling week emotionally and financially (put on your shocked face, they are linked!) so blogging hasn’t been where I want it. I enjoy bringing interesting resources that can help encourage you. John Piper is extremely well respected as a writer and pastor. I suggest you check out his site.

Personal encouragement comes in a variety of ways. Do you see the blessings in your life? Do you see the answers to prayers that come? [...]

This post didn’t go out yesterday, some tech problems. So here is a new series called Monday Widgets on a Tuesday!
Here are some things I thought you might like.

He pinpointed the problem on the fact that no one in the extended Christian community had a bible. The pastor had the same six sermons he worked through and the [...]

I wanted to share with you loyal readers another resource that is impacting me greatly. Many have heard of John Piper and I wanted to share amazing resources available online! I was struck by this dynamic between what I will call the emergent/liberal theology of saving everyone thru clean water for the third world and [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )A wonderful look at creation.
I really like the TED talks but I find the ‘Genius of Evolution’ series rather tedious and predictable. A few were interesting like the ones on memes and this one. I couldn’t help but think God was enjoying his creation when he made these creatures!

Great article over at Acts 29 regarding trends in church today by D.A. Carson.
If you ever want to feel like you have the intelligence of a NASCAR fan that just finished off a six-pack (I think it’s a Red Neck law), then listen to D.A. Carson talk about, well, anything. Don is fluent in [...]
