A Picture of My Day

Yesterday was a good day. I usually have quiet mornings on three days a week, so the doggie keeps me company. I worked on my world lit correspondence course.

What do I mean when I say Titus 2 daughter? First, let me say that I believe in the five solas of Calvanism, one of which is Sola Scriptura. This means that the Bible alone is sufficient for us to determine how we should live. From the Scriptures we can find instructions for every area [...]

Announcement

I got a new blog. It can be found at www.atouchofgrace.blogspot.com.
But don’t worry, I’m still going to be posting and updating here. I want to use my other one for experimenting with HTML. I will probably just do double posts at both.
