best bible Archaeology books

I think it is a healthy thing to go digging for physical evidence of the reason for your faith. Faith is a beautiful thing, but it should not be blind. Our faith should be built on evidence. For me, the very first evidence of a holy God was creation and sensing his presence. As a small, four-year-old child, I had never been to church. Yet, there was something about the name and mention of God that always rang true for […]

all about the silver scrolls

***This page contains Amazon links and ads. When you order through these links, I do collect advertising fees.*** The Dead Sea scrolls we have all heard of. They were discovered in the caves of Qumran, by the Dead Sea, in the 1940s. But have you ever heard of the Silver Scrolls? Sounds a little more posh, don’t you think?

into the unknown: virtual school nerves and anxiety

Is anyone else feeling nervous about their kids beginning virtual school? I feel like this is an issue that parents across the entire world are dealing with. We have been out of school for the sheltering-in-place or quarantine or social distancing, whatever you want to call it, for a month now. Seriously. An entire month has passed. During that month, we here in Maryland were given home-school packets of suggested work. Thankfully, they gave us all the benefit of the […]

Bible verses, faith, family, food, stay-at-home mom

There are many pros and cons of home schooling, just as there are pros and cons to public and private schools. If you find yourself weighing the differences of which method of school you should do for your children, this list will help.

What The Nuzi Tablets from 1450-1350 BC Teach Us About the Bible

Bible, Bible Archaeology, Bible verses, faith, God

Digging in to Biblical Archaeology… One of my favorite things to read about is archaeological finds that have something to do with the Bible–anything to do with the Bible! These historical artifacts are not the reason that I believe, but they do substantiate and reinforce and inform my beliefs. They spur me on in my awe and wonder of this book we call The Holy Bible. For me, the biggest reason for my faith is that God has been there […]

I’m no expert here, but I think the first step is realizing that this is a problem. It’s not a little problem. Living defeated is a BIG BAD DEAL when it’s stopping you from fulfilling your purpose.
