Yesterday I shared that this year instead of making several large over arching goals I'm going to make an attempt at setting smaller more attainable goals on a weekly basis. The propose of this is to feel like I'm getting more actually accomplished throughout the year and maybe feel like I have something to show for myself in 12 months. I had originally planned on starting my weekly goal setting on January 6th since that was the first full week of the new year but the more I thought about it the more I realized I do have some things I would like to get accomplished this week. Thus, the 1/2 week goals for the first few days of 2020.

New Year, New Goals
Well, it is clear I did not make it through my blogmas goals. Instead we found ourselves deep in the trenches of plumbing issues, winter finally deciding to show it's ugly head, and an impromptu move that none of us were really prepared for. Toss in Christmas and it was just a true recipe for… Continue reading New Year, New Goals
Always Time for Tea and Cake
If you have been around this little corner of the internet for any extended period of time you might have learned a few things about me. First, I generally like to choose a "Word of the Year". Something that I can anchor down on for the year and direct my focus. For 2019 that… Continue reading Always Time for Tea and Cake
Welcome to Mars Hall Legacy Academy
If you caught my post about Embracing the Positivity last week you know that this school year we are on a mission to focus on the positive aspects of each week. This week I was reminded, simply by an off hand comment, of one area that often gets translated into the negative side of being… Continue reading Welcome to Mars Hall Legacy Academy
Embracing the Positivity
I have this friend who works in public education and has for...I think he said this was year 22. Last week he made the decision to use this academic year to focus on the positive things happening in the classroom, school, and district around him. He has begun with a Facebook live video on Monday… Continue reading Embracing the Positivity
Lessons from 1 Kings (sorta)
April was hard. Probably one of the harder months I have walked through in a long while. And the hardest part about it is that none of the "hard" things that happened over the course of those days have directly effected me. All of the things that have taken place I have been on… Continue reading Lessons from 1 Kings (sorta)
Building: 1 Kings 7 & 8
Half way through week two on the study of 1 Kings. I will be honest here and admit that there is a lot happening in the pages of this book that I never really took the time to pick up on as I went through my Old Testament classes during both college and Seminary. It… Continue reading Building: 1 Kings 7 & 8
Turmoil or Rest: 1 Kings 5 & 6
Happy Tuesday! Can you believe we are already into the 2nd week of April? Where on earth does the time go. That old saying "The days are long but the years are short" really rings true most of the time. And because we in the 2nd week of April that also means we are starting… Continue reading Turmoil or Rest: 1 Kings 5 & 6
1 Kings Chapter 4
Welcome back! Chapter 4 Summary In chapter 3 we read all about how Solomon used his one opportunity to ask God for anything he could possibly want to gain the wisdom he knew would be necessary to successfully rule the Kingdom God had given him. This simple request so pleased God that not only did… Continue reading 1 Kings Chapter 4
Introduction to 1 Kings
One of the areas that I really decided I needed to take some time to develop and focus for 2019 is my Spiritual Disciplines. This includes things like Bible reading, prayer, and Scripture memory. I did really well with this in January and then in February it kinda fell by the wayside. So at the… Continue reading Introduction to 1 Kings
