My latest post delves into the beatitudes, which can be confusing because they seem counterintuitive at first-- blessed are the poor, mourners, etc. . I discuss a modern day parable about "boxes of blessings," which basically promotes health and wealth gospel theology, and dissecting what is wrong with that parable leads to an unraveling of the beatitudes. If suffering can result in blessings, perhaps we can't quite understand the beatitudes because we've come to see a relationship with God as transactional. Check out the post and the always interesting conversation in the comments at the link in my bio. ✌️ . #christian #christianblogger #sermononthemount #beatitudes #girlblogger #healthandwealth

This amazing keyboard and mouse (which pictures don't do justice) & this cool watch are two of the great birthday presents I received from @garthriot , @serial_claire , Garth's mom, my parents, my church family, etc. Thank you all for being so wonderful and making my day special! 💞 Officially 26 years young! 😁 . #magiceagle #keyboardandmouse #sharkwatches

Composed this little image based on this cool quote from Virginia Woolf. I apply this to the Bible first and foremost because incorporating the reading of scripture into my life has literally changed my heart. But as a general book lover, this also applies to so many wonderful novels I'll never forget. Thank God for books. 💞 . #booklover #bookstagram #virginiawoolf

The blooms look like they all got toasted; some are just crispy, while others got burnt. 😁🏵️ #asiaticlilies (BTW, this cost me $8 at Food Lion. Make your girl's day for less than a drive-thru trip. 👍🏻)

My latest post discusses ways that we can be generous. God loves a cheerful giver. People often associate greed and generosity with money, but truthfully, there are things more valuable than dollar bills we can give to the kingdom of God--time, gifts and skills, listening and patience, etc. What do you hoard? What do you freely share with others? Link to my site in bio. ✌️ . #christian #christianblogger #glorifygod #cheerfulgiver
