So I had an epiphany the other day. We have companies that charge you to have your tires drained of oxygen and filled with nitrogen. They sell this by saying that nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen and will leak out of your tires less which in turn gives you “better gas mileage” by having […]

In my reading today I ran across some interesting thoughts which I wanted to share: In John 4, Jesus meets a woman at a well. She was a Samaritan (Jews despised Samaritans). She’d slept around… Jesus knew this and yet the one man in the history of the universe with the ability to look down […]

I wanted to share with you something I read this morning. John chapter 2 talks about the start of Jesus’s ministry. He travelled to Jerusalem with his disciples for Passover and went to the Temple to find it teeming with salesmen and loan sharks… money changers and livestock galore… Obviously this made him upset so […]

When I was in High School, I thought I was pretty cool.  I had all the answers.  I made all the right decisions.  I had all my life figured out.What I really had… was pride.I went on a yearly retreat with our church’s youth group to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It was my 5th time going […]

In my studies today I came across 1 Corinthians 15:29 and it reminded me of a long conversation I had with a Mormon friend of mine.  She was raised in the Mormon church and is VERY knowledgable and involved there.  The Bible following Christian Church is often at great odds with the Mormon faith.  The […]

To get to the point of this post, I need to first give a slight back story from the Bible. It’s found in the book of Acts, chapter 8… verses 14 through 17.“When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.  When they […]

So when Jesus was being tried before Pilate for the second time… Pilate wanted nothing to do with killing Jesus.  Pilate tried multiple ways to let Jesus live, but the mob insisted Jesus be crucified.  Pilate eventually washes his hands in front of them and tells them, “I am innocent of this man’s blood.  It […]

I was reading about Jesus’ arrest today… I found it interesting to think about it through the eyes of the officers and thought I’d share. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”  “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.  “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was […]

Mark 10:33-34“We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days […]

So we moved in finally on May 20th and the rest has been a blur of hanging, cleaning, planting, organizing, unpacking, raking, shoveling, fixing, etc….ing. I’ll start with a few more pics that led up to the move-in date and end with a few that are “final” shots of some rooms. To begin with…. on […]
