Line up to see the Tabernacle in Lincoln

For the 2nd year in a row, Youth for Christ is bringing The Tabernacle Experience to Lincoln.  Our whole family went last year, and we were all moved by the encounter.  Getting to see a life size replica of what you can only imagine when you read the book of Exodus is life changing.  Just walking through […]

The New Year’s Resolution Worth Keeping: Lines Worth Reading

The last day of the year has become a celebratory one for me. For the past six years besides planning some sort of event with my family (usually a night in :-), this has also been the day that I complete my reading through the Bible over the course of the year. I have been […]

The Lying Line: God Never Gives You More than You Can Handle

Reflections from the first half of 2 Corinthians I have pondered the line in the past.  “God never gives you more than you can handle.” A saying that makes you feel guilty after you feel overwhelmed or discouraged when life takes you on a different path than you anticipated.  The one that makes you wonder […]

Lines of Unhappily Ever After

Once upon a time I wanted to learn to play guitar.  Absconding my grandparents’ really old out-of-tune guitar, the one that no one is quite sure why they had since neither of them played, I sought an instructor.  Conveniently I asked the guy I had a crush on and one lesson presumed.  I was supposed […]

Lines to see the Tabernacle

Waiting 30 minutes in a seated line was worth it last Saturday.  Our family had the opportunity to walk through the Tabernacle this week-end.  Do not worry – you did not miss some major archeological find.  This Tabernacle is a reproduction based on the biblical explanation. Reading through the Bible every year, I feel that […]

Line of Twisters

Today is a “Severe Weather Alert” day across Nebraska.  Having lived in the area of the Hallam tornadoes a decade ago, I definitely pay more attention if bad weather is coming my way.  To be honest, all that could happen today makes a bit nervous. Praying “please don’t send them my way” seems a bit […]

Homonym Lines Part 1: Not Idle-Idol

Admitting that I might just have an idol is hard to type.  But unfortunately I think it might be true.  As I type this my husband is upstairs finishing up yet another perfectly designed bathroom.  I was upstairs “helping” (by throwing away trash and keeping him company).  But for now, I decided that it is […]
