Tour of Texas: The Good and The Bad (December Challenge #28)

Kathy got the easy posts to do and I got the hard ones.  Here are some of the good and bad of the trip.  I’ll start with the bad because it makes the good seem better.
The Bad:
-The Kroger in Conroe on Loop 336 is colder than 45 degrees.  That was the temperature outside and it [...]

The End of Christmas 2007 (December Challenge #27)

Ok, I realize that I am reaching with this last one, but since its 9pm on the last night of December and we need 4 more posts, here you are. We stopped at my parents house as we got in town to pick up final Christmas presents and feed Josiah. He was excited to eat, and [...]

Christmas in Daingerfield (December Challenge #26)

Here are more favorites, but if we didnt take enough the first time, we definitely didnt get enough here. We had a great time, and Josiah loved playing with his cousins as usual! If you need explanations, just ask:

Here are some of our favorite pictures from our time in Hamlin. We had a great time, I only wish we had captured more of it on film! Here are a few of the highlights:

I should probably add captions to some of these to help explain what is [...]

We’re Back! (December Challenge #24)

I bet you thought we forgot about our blog, or maybe we dropped off the planet. Well not to worry, we were only on our Tour of Texas: Holiday Edition! We had a blast, but I must say I think all three of us were ready to get back to our own beds and get [...]

A New December Challenge-er (December Challenge #23)

I just want to draw attention and point my blogging finger over here to Jenny’s blog. She has taken up the ‘December Challenge’ Littlefield style. This means that she is working for 31 posts in December–not necessarily a post a day. So far they have been excellent, comment-worthy posts, so go on over and see [...]

1st installment of Christmas (December Challenge #22)

Sunday night we went to my parents house for Round 1 of Christmas festivities. It was a little early, but due to the fact that this is a very busy week (with my other sister having her baby, and all) and we are leaving town on Saturday, my parents wanted to watch him ‘open’ his [...]

More about J.B. Gambrell (December Challenge #21)

I became somewhat facinated in Gambrell while reading By His Grace and For His Glory by Dr. Tom Nettles.  He was an officer for the South during the Civil War and then went on to be a pastor, seminary professor, missions superintendent for Texas, and the editor of several Baptist newspapers.  But all that doesn’t [...]

Christmas Celebration (December Challenge #20)

This is probably my ninth attempt at writing a ‘Christmas post’. I started off writing about what we believe about it, and then it was what we didnt like about it, which turned into what you shouldnt do at Christmas. The main reason those posts will never make it is that, aside from offending half [...]

J. B. Gambrell (December Challenge #19)

I was reading last night and came across this quote from J. B. Gambrell.  I want you to read it then guess when you think it was written:
God honors the preaching that honors him.  There is entirely too much mil-sop preaching nowadays, trying to cajole sinners to enter upon a truce with their Maker, quit [...]
