Laugh out loud funnies:
- A little marriage enrichment for you married folk (and fun for singles, too!) Be thankful for your spouse’s faults.
Books for the TBR list:
Is this for real? Am I actually emerging from this week with only one additional book on my TBR list? This is amazing!!
- The adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–I like YA fiction. This one sounds like it’ll be a deeper and more complex read then most–but it sounds good!
News to take note of:
- People with purpose don’t get Alzheimer’s.
This is good news for a goal-oriented but family medical history heavy gal. - The odds for a successful marriage
Wanna be married for a good long time? The odds are best for highly educated couples from two-parent families who married after age 26 but did not cohabit prior to marriage. It also helps if they have kids after marrying. Looks like the odds are in my favor (assuming I hold off on marrying for another year–but I think that’s probably a reasonable assumption!)
Thought-provoking posts:
- Justin Buzzard on processing life like David in Psalm 3. I’ve been doing a bit of this Sight–>Belief–>Remembrance–>Resolve–>Prayer–>Praise/Assurance stuff in the last couple of months.
- Staying Faithful when life gets worse: Reflections on the life of Joseph
Sometimes faithfulness to God and his word sets us on a course where circumstances get worse, not better. It is then that knowing God’s promises and his ways are crucial. Faith in God’s future grace for us is what sustains us in those desperate moments.
Videos worth seeing:
- Validation: a short film
And by short film, I really mean film. This is 16 minutes long, but it’s a FANTASTIC romantic comedy.
HT: Collateral Bloggage
I’ll have to check that video out when I have some time at home. I meant to do it yesterday and forgot.
Also, on a side note – you should get a different picture of me for your COC – the one you have is awful and makes my face look fat.(=
That’s what everybody says–“New picture, new picture” :-) Eventually I’ll find a new picture. Unfortunately, it’s taken a bit to find pictures of people. We don’t really take a lot of pictures that aren’t silly.
It’s true. I don’t take good pictures – especially ones that aren’t silly. I didn’t have a problem with the ice-cream eating photo – in fact, I kind of like it. ;-)
I just don’t like this one. haha.
One ice cream photo coming right up! :-)
Thanks, my dear! =)
oh my gosh! I just watched the video.
that was AWESOME! =) Good find!!
