Keeping things (not)real

I want to keep this blog anonymous enough to keep my husband happy, but still be able to talk about my life.

Hard. I can talk about my feeling and thoughts about things but I can't really talk about too much personal stuff.

This is not as easy as I thought it would be!

Another good idea!




Van Gogh is not really my favorite artist, but I love this picture! I bought a print and had it framed for the baby's room when I was pregnant with my first child. Now it hangs in my bedroom.

More on Laziness

The Sin of Sloth

Ouch. This spring I have been doing less than usual - not that I do much work in the first place - and now things have gotten out of hand.

The consequences of sin are painful.

Laziness

“So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

Thankful Thursday

I have seen a lot of blogs do this - nice idea!

I am thankful for -

lower humidity
last week of soccer (though the younger children are not that thankful!)
distilled water
my hardworking husband
Netflix - we have been watching All Creatures Great and Small (we're up to Season 3), which we would never have found at our local Hollywood Video

A book I am reading -

God's Big Picture - Tracing the Storyline of the Bible by Vaughan Roberts is a surprisingly good book. I first read about it at Monergism. The focus is on God's Kingdom and it has clarified a few things about the Law and the Covenant for me. I am looking forward to reading it with the older children this year!

ETA: Here is a review of God's Big Picture.

Stuff I am thinking about

My shallow Christianity

The new school year
