talking about books

When I was in middle school there was a show on the local tv channel with this title. I appeared on there twice with classmates to (predictably) talk about books. Now that I'm all grown up I can pretend that I'm the host and you are all my guests.

My God is good and I love Him. He has given me an awesome husband and four adorable children. Geneva was born in 2005, Caleb in 2007, Magdalena in March 2009, and Karsten in July 2011. Magdalena has Down syndrome and an AV canal heart defect. This blog is mostly updates on our family's life. Occasionally I will offer my reflections, pass on suggestions, share some ideas. The grace of God sustains me everyday and pray that truth will be evident as you take a peek at our family.

I have read something other than blogs in the past month and a half haven't I??? I am amazed by how fast time flies. Anyway, one week I read a great new magazine, Salvo, that kinda seemed like a mini-book. I guess I would say it's a critique of cultural trends. It was very informative and thought provoking. I didn't feel like it was over my head nor too basic. Each issue focuses on a general topic with articles dealing with specifics. This was the premier issue and it dealt with science, bioethics, stuff like that. I'm actually considering subsribing, I was so impressed. It feels good to read something and learn and have my mind engaged in things that are going on in the world around me when it gets so easy to get caught up in my own little world of diapers, dishes, and dinner.



In the last 5 years my life has been wonderfully influenced by the teaching ministry of John Piper. So when I found out that one of our church's women's Bible studies was going through this book, I jumped at the chance (once again grateful for an unemployed husband). I have so much more to say but I'm realizing that it's getting late and I actually need to go read this book and do the homework for this week's study. I'll post this for now with the hopes of adding more soon.
