The following quotes are from today’s reading of Joy and Strength compiled by Mary Wilder Tileston:
It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
–1 CORINTHIANS 4:2
TOO many people are not faithful in little things. They are not to be absolutely depended upon. They do not always keep their promises. They break engagements. They […]

After eating half a bowl of cereal, I realized that something about the taste was . . . off.  I sniffed the cereal.  Smelled fine (Cinnamon Toast Crunch!). …

I’ve been looking for a good recipe/directions for making steel cut oatmeal (higher fiber content b/c of the way it’s cut). Generally it takes 35-45 minutes to cook–UNLESS you use a crockpot and cook it overnight. I ran across several recipes that recommended simply putting the oatmeal, water, salt and…

The faculty were issued new notebook computers yesterday for use at school and at home. This Dell Latitude D630 is pretty nifty. Most of us got the Dell, although some got a MacBook—I was hoping that my work with the Collegian (all done on Macs) would have meant that I’d…

I saw this over at Joyful Days:

You Are Palatino

This is probably the most widely read piece of philosophy to come out of England, and understandably so, because its also a very interesting novel.

The Lord has really brought me through some tough times recently–mainly that a close friend made known some decisions he made that were heartbreaking to hear. While I may no longer be able to consider this person a close friend, he will always be in my prayers. There have been two things that have really helped me through this struggle. Thanks to all!
One thing is the friendships here in Greenville. It has been such a blessing to have good friends who, although they didn’t necessarily know what’s going on, have been an encouragement to me in many ways. My friends, old and new, have shown how loving is the best thing in times of trial.
Another thing is a song by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. It’s called “The Power of the Cross.” Rather than type all the words out, I’m including a link to a video on youtube. It’s sung by Kristyn Getty. It’s such a powerful song about how Christ has taken all of our sin and washed it away. Click here for video..
