2019 seemed to go by very fast for some reasons. There have been some new beginnings (ex: Josiah started college) and some endings (ex: Isaiah graduated from our homeschool high school). We thank God always for His overflowing goodness, loving kindness, and unwavering faithfulness through all our ups and downs. We are also thankful to attend and feel at home at a wonderful Christ-centered, Bible-teaching, gospel-living church (West Hills Community Church). In January , we and the boys enjoyed our day trip in Portland (tried out Killer Burger and visited World Market) and in Bend (visited the last Block Buster store in the world). January 26: Eric and I went to our first First Taste Oregon and enjoyed trying out a variety of yummy foods. March 4: Josiah received a letter from Western Oregon University, awarding him with $2,500 (per year) Provost scholarship. March 23: We bought an iPhone XS Max ($1,100) and got an iPhone XR for free. April 6: We bought 6 original oil paintin...

I was given an opportunity to review BlankieGram Faith blanket . I picked purple because it's one of my favorite colors. I didn't know that " purple is known to help bring sleep, soothe mental and emotional stress and decrease sensitivity to pain. Purple may help in detoxification as well ".

Tis the season to wrap yourselves in a cozy throw blanket while relaxing on the couch and reading or watching your favorite Christmas movies :). This blanket is big enough for two people to snuggle up in. The dimensions ar...

This is the second book in the God on Trial series. I have not read Doug Webb's first book, "' I Was Framed!' Signed, God " or his third book, " God Acquitted ". Book Two consists of six chapters: Adam, Mankind Disabled, Humanity's Curse, Life After Death, Heart Disease, and The Change. The author invites readers to join him in a journey of being a Bible detective. He gives clues (relevant verses) from the Bible and encourages us to ask questions and dig deep for answers. In Introduction, he lays out a list of key events for people who are not familiar with Biblical history. In this book, Doug Webb investigates the Fall of Man and the subsequent Curse (consequences) in Genesis. He includes two main accusatory questions: Why would God put a tree nearby, which if eaten from, could cause death? and Why did God let Lucifer have access to the human race? He proceeds to use Scriptures to explain and help readers understand God's intentions & m...
