Words of Strength and Promise

I recently contributed several devotions to an upcoming teen devotional, Words of Strength and Promise, coming out early 2021 from Concordia Publishing House. It was such a blessing to work on this project, and I hope that it brings readers the Law to convict them of their sin and the Gospel to point them toContinue reading “Words of Strength and Promise”

Some music to brighten your day

I made a playlist a few days back to share with the students in the class I TA for.

I’m still glad I made that chicken pot pie: a fable

Last night, I achieved quite the feat: I may have created the best chicken pot pie of all time. Or so my husband tells me.
