I, as a person with way too many emotions … Continue reading All the Marriage Advice You’ll Ever Need (Maybe)

You may find this surprising, but the word "entertainment" appears in the Bible exactly 0 times. Crazy, right? There is also a conspicuous absence of the words "movie", "television", "comic book", "video game" and "internet" which is just wild to me. Like, you know my boy Peter spent His evenings binge-watching the Great British Baking Show. So why … Continue reading Christians and Entertainment: Where Should we Draw the Line?
My dog, Phoebe, is a beautiful creature. I was looking through my pictures recently and just... look how she's always there ♥ We got her from a shelter when I was pregnant and nesting and dying for a creature to care for and my wilting succulents just weren't cutting it.
