Cover to Cover-Week 4

 This week’s readings: Genesis 22-39; I Chronicles 1: 32-53; I Chronicles 2: 1-2
It was quite an interesting week of readings that included a lot of what one could read in the morning’s newspaper or watch on CNN…love, marriage, infertility, births, deception, war and death.
This is what lingered with me this past week and I will [...]

Cover to Cover-Week 3

 Job 31-42; Genesis 11:27-21; Genesis 25: 12-18; I Chronicles 1: 28-31
This week, I finished Job along with the other cover to cover readers…I am anxious to  read  their comments shortly on Bev’s blog but I was very relieved to get to the last chapters of this book.
Job’s younger friend Elihu earnestly tried to offer wisdom he felt certain [...]

That’s Life…

***This is a re-post from the early days of A Work of Heart…
I thought that  I would be thinner.  I thought that a paycheck would last beyond a weekend.  I believed that loved ones would live forever.  I thought that I would be published by now.  I thought that parenting became easier with practice.  I [...]

I Miss My Bible…

“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.  “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse.  “It’s a thing that happens to you.  [...]

 I must admit that some days I spend  too much time on the computer but there is a lot of gold out there…so it’s worth it.
I don’t know how I stumbled onto this site…but I am glad that I did.  Elisa at Extravagant Grace is calling all of us to a life that has more intention…with a [...]

Monday Cover to Cover Chronological Reading

 
This week’s reading: Job 8-31
 I must admit that this week’s reading was challenging.  Leaving the story telling mode of Genesis and moving onto Job’s struggles and prose. 
Last week, I was impacted by Job’s friends…how they sat with him for seven days and nights and were silent because they could see his suffering (2:13)…but then by [...]

Free Rice…

 
Today I spent about 15 minutes on the Free Rice site and donated 500 grains of rice by guessing word definitions…you know how I love word definitions.
Even if you are not into words like me…click onto this site and increase your vocabulary and in just moments you can make a difference and join in ending world [...]

God’s Training Camp…

For Christmas, Carl gave me a Nintendo DS Lite…I love playing word games and have a growing Sudoku habit.  Courtney gave me a Brain Age game cartridge to go along with the hand held console.  This particular game has a number of games that are designed to check your brain’s age.   By performing different games, [...]

I love anticipating what God is going to do in my life and the lives of others…
I have loved making new blogging friends this past year…especially in the last couple of months post-computer crisis…
I have listed a few of my blogging friends on my sidebar…check them [...]

God Revealed…

Joyous New Year Greetings to you all…
As I look back over this past year in my life and in blogging…God has shown up…in ways that were expected and in so many ways that were unexpected…some required the passage of time to be seen adequately and accurately that it was His hands that acted. 
Last year, I wrote [...]
