Something Good: A lady in our congregation turned 99 years old this weekend. We took time during announcements today to sing “Happy Birthday” and to celebrate with her. This is what we noticed immediately when we visited Prairie Bible Church: it’s a family. Our church has grown a lot in the past year, but I…

1. Something Good: I recently watched Thirteen Lives and was utterly riveted. This remarkable true story captures the reality of common grace—of sacrifice, courage, ingenuity, and community. (Available on Prime Video) 2. Something True: I’m reading The Footsteps of the Messiah by Dr. Arnold G Fruchtenbaum. I’d never done a deep dive into eschatology and…

I’m thrilled to share that two of my poems, “Pastor’s Wife” and “Gardening Advice” have been published by ClayJar Review in their second issue. You can read it here: https://clayjar.review/issues/wise-and-gentle

Something Good: My arms are covered in small welts from wresting my squash vines into submission. What began as tiny, withered seedlings are now sprawling plants that are determined to put forth roots in our lawn. Billy was not on board with my idea of opening a pumpkin patch, a business venture born of my…

1. Something Good: I’m currently putting theory into practice, which is difficult but rewarding. I recently had a piece on the necessity of church choirs published and, now, am working to create one!

Something True: “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without…

1. Something Good: We were visiting some dear mentors over the last couple of days, so I didn’t get around to my “not-so-daily three” posts. Those three days were so wonderfully refreshing, filled with wisdom from deep study of the Word and lives of faithfulness. It is good to fellowship with the saints of the…

As you can tell, “The Daily Three” is not-so-daily, but I’ve never been one to pass on a rhyming title. Maybe I’ll come up with something more accurate, but not today. Something Good: I have a little organ student who began her lessons very shy. Now, she skips across the choir loft, eager to share…

1. Something Good: My parents came over to help with refinishing our porch and deck. After a long day of climbing ladders, my dad vanished. Eventually, my mom and I looked across the street to see him comfortably chatting with our neighbors on their deck. Social media seems to bring out the worst in society,…

1. Something Good: Gardening continues to teach me a great deal about faith. For instance, I planted my spaghetti squash in the worst soil. I knew my watermelons would thrive because they are in exceptional soil. I did not expect much from my squash. And yet, I continued to tend those brittle seedlings with more…

1. Something Good: I believe that a can of paint is utterly transformative. A backsplash, trim, a porch, a door, our shutters—I’ve painted it all! And this is good. Caring for my home with these simple updates is immensely satisfying. For this reason, I’d love to share the following blog by a fellow Biolan, who…

1. Something Good: Some friends of ours gifted us a subscription to Our Iowa, a magazine filled with recipes, family heritage, tourism tips, and (my personal favorite) journal entries from an Amish farm wife. I savored her words, which were rich with the enjoyment of everyday tasks and of the passing seasons. 2. Something True:…
