Best Biblical Archaeology Books for Exploring Evidence of the Past

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 […]

13 Lessons from When My Website Crashed for 11 Days

If you visited this website in the past eleven days, you might have seen a disaster scene, a blank website, a ghost town. But I have good news. As you can see, I am back in business. When my website crashed, I learned quite a few lessons through the process of trying to get storiesofourboys.com back up. I am going to tell you all about it. For eleven whole days, storiesofourboys.com was wiped off the face of the internet. It […]

Stories of Our Boys Top 10 Most Popular Posts of 2023

Archaeology, big family life

If you follow both of my websites, you know that I did a top ten list for Gettingmyacttogether.com last week. I would never just shun my original website by not giving it a “Top 10 Most Popular” post too. Over the past couple of years, I have tried to take storiesofourboys.com into a more focused direction. Y’all know I started out blogging about parenting four boys, and my oldest son was absolutely not having it. He was right. You can […]

We Toured Liberty University & This is What We Learned.

4 kids, college, parenting

I recently took my two teenage sons to tour Liberty University. This was so exciting and felt like such a big deal to me. It was my first college tour as the mom instead of as the nervous/excited high school kid. I still felt nervous/excited to be on a college tour, but now it is for the futures of my sons rather than for myself. Those late high school and college years are such a hopeful time, full of seemingly […]

Weeks 6 and 7: Sometimes I am not okay.

4 kids, big family life, stay-at-home mom
Sometimes I am not okay.

Tuesday, April 21 (Week 6) The Mostly Happy Week I am taking a break upstairs, listening to Alan’s surprised voice downstairs saying, “Y’all already ate that sherbet!!??” It truly is eat or be eaten around here. Food has a short shelf life. School is going better though! Therefore, my stress level has decreased. Monday all the boys’ work was due to be turned in by 12pm, and we had most of it turned in on Friday afternoon. New assignments were […]

How the Sumerian King List Relates to the Bible

Archaeology, Bible, Bible Archaeology, faith

Of all the ancient artifacts I have studied, the Sumerian Kings list brings the largest “wow” factor to me, outside of the claims of the Bible itself. Basically, it is a list of kings, kept by the Sumerian civilization sometime around 2100 BC. The list exists in many different fragments of clay tablets. The largest list is the Weld-Blundell prism, which you can find at Ashmolean Museum cuneiform collection in Oxford. Some of these fragments of the list do not […]

The Cookie Fiasco: All That Work for Nothing

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

A couple of weeks ago I found out that the ladies’ ministry at my church is going to have a cookie contest. It is really more than just a contest, it is a luncheon, but at the luncheon there will be a cookie contest. Then the cookies are delivered to teachers at a local school. We are giving back to our community with something pleasant like Valentine cookies. Now I am a regular attending member of our church, and also […]

What Remains of the Original New Testament Church?

Bible, faith

This morning I was reading the introduction in my study Bible to the book of Titus. It was talking about the early church that Paul planted in Crete, and that got me thinking. Having spent my whole life living in America, there is oh so very much about the Mediterranean region that I do not know. Is there still an active church in Crete? Ha! Well, if you’re from that region, you might laugh at this question because Crete is […]

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 […]
