Looking for a good book to read...

TJ and I just finished reading together "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ" by John Piper.



The book only has thirteen chapters. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of Christ's character. "The Power of Jesus Christ," "The Wisdom of Jesus Christ," "The Mercies of Jesus Christ," "The Excellence of Jesus Christ" - are just a few of the chapters. Piper did an awesome job with each chapter. We were so blessed and convicted as we read through this book together. Christ is seen throughout the whole Bible. Our lives would be nothing apart from Him. It was great to read through it and just meditate on His person. We thoroughly enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it to all of our friends and family.The back of the book says that Piper wrote it "in hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else. "

Beading Party...


A few girls came over last Friday night while our husbands got together for their monthly "men's accountability" meeting :). I have "accountability" in quotes because I'm not to sure how much accountability really goes on. Anyway, we had a fun time making jewelry. It was one of my first times attempting such a thing. I was surrounded by beading experts. They made some awesome pieces. I managed to put together a bracelet. Maybe, this will be the start of my beading days or.....maybe not. Even if I don't get into it, the experience was fun. And, of course, it will always be nice to admire what everyone else creates.
