GRBC Recommended Reading

As you all know I have recently decided to post online learning opportunities sporadically to encourage continued learning.  You can check them out on the tab at the top of the page named “Online Learning.”  In that page you will find links to previous talked about resources.  I hope in the future, upon the recommendation [...]

Book Recommendation: The Big Picture Story Bible–Dirk

Kathy recommended The Big Picture Story Bible by David Helms here, and now it is my turn.  Since she added a picture I won’t.
I am almost done reading through it my second time with Josiah and I have been very impressed with this book.  I hesitate to call it it a Bible, because it really isn’t [...]

Five Years! (indulge me)

Five whole years.
Half a decade.
That is how long Dirk and I have been married.
It sounds like such a long time! It certainly doesn’t feel that way. Dirk and I woke up this morning talking about what we were doing at this moment 5 years ago. My bridesmaids had all spent the night at my parent’s house and [...]

Book Recommendation: The Big Picture Story Bible

Sunday at church our pastor made the comment (and I paraphrase): If you do not see Christ in the Old Testament, you are not reading it correctly.  Too many times the Old Testament is thought to be a collection morality tales to remind children not to lie, and to trust God. If that is all you see, [...]

Josiah’s photo shoot

You spin me right round…

Josiah has a new trick. I doubt that he considers it as such, but its impressive. He did it last night, and to see if it was a fluke I tried it out again. I realize this is probably a normal baby thing, but it was fun to watch. We put him on his belly [...]

The Value of Theology

In listening to the Covenant Theological Seminary’s Ancient and Medieval Church History lectures(aside from the issues I have with their discussion of baptism–but that is saved for another post), I was reminded again of the importance of theology for the believer. I am in lecture 12: The Council of Nicea and it was quoted to [...]

New Design

My wonderful wife decided that the blog needed a new face, so it has been changed.  As you can see the dark blues and black and white picture have been changed to light blues and a color picture.  Everything else is pretty much the same.  I have added two new pages to the blog, they [...]
