Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today when I was at the grocery store, I picked up these: Hopefully Paul doesn’t see this until he gets home from work. :-) Paul proposed to me by putting a ring in a tulip, so I thought it was an appropriate flower for Valentine’s Day! I chose purple because it’s my favorite color, hehe. I was going to make some red velvet cake for dessert, but I decided it probably wasn’t a good idea to have a whole cake…

reading through the Bible

reading through the Bible

I’ve never sat down and read the Bible cover-to-cover before, though I think through Bible studies and school growing up I’ve read the whole Bible. This year I decided to do one of the reading plans on YouVersion. YouVersion has free mobile apps, and I have one on my iPod Touch and one for my android phone. I really like YouVersion a lot! Around January 1st, I read through all the reading plans and selected one to follow. I’m doing…
