Football season is upon us, which actually makes me pretty happy (Go, Pack, Go!). While this might put me in the minority among women, I enjoy watching grown men clobber one another over a hunk of leather (though when I put it like that, it somehow seems less inviting). Although I probably have a better … Continue reading Not a One-Trick Pony: Part 3
Not a One-Trick Pony: Part 2
We’re in the middle of a series on one of my favorite passages of Scripture, Psalm 119. I contended before that when we think of this psalm as merely Scripture talking about itself, we sell it short. This masterpiece of Hebrew poetry teems with treasures beyond the “famous” verses like, “Thy Word have I hid … Continue reading Not a One-Trick Pony: Part 2
Not a One-Trick Pony
I’ve always loved trivia of all kinds (What’s sweeter than answering Final Jeopardy correctly?), but as a kid, I especially loved Bible trivia.

I enjoy watching (some) classic Disney movies. Sadly, some that I still think of as new—Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King—are now considered classic. (Ahh, 90s Disney! Where have you gone?) But I mean the classic classics, like Robin Hood and Cinderella and, my personal childhood favorite, 101 Dalmatians. Sure, they’re maybe … Continue reading All Means All
Beginning to See God’s Greatness
The time has finally come. The children of Israel have been wandering in the wilderness for forty years, and now, finally, they are on the cusp of the Promised Land. Moses, over a century old, is giving his farewell address to the nation he has led for a third of his life. We know this … Continue reading Beginning to See God’s Greatness

Bible study nerd? Where’d that come from? Let me explain. First of all, I don’t actually think that studying the Bible is nerdy—not at all. However, I am nerdy. And passionate about studying and teaching the Word of God. Marking the text with colored pens/pencils brings a tear to my eye; doing word studies makes … Continue reading Diving In…
