It’s no secret or hidden thing that America’s and the world’s economy is not what it was at the beginning of the year. It’s also no surprise that with everything going on, people are living in fear and hopelessness, with debates—and arguments—over numerous political or spiritual topics spreading like wildfires. With all of these things running so rampant, I wanted to compile some verses that have helped me keep my focus on what we as believers should be remembering and embracing right now.
toll house pan cookies recipe
This recipe is a family favorite, given to my mom by my grandma over 10 years ago, and made for many an event, church dinner, and birthday ever since. Despite how many times we’ve made it, we still love it, and the cookies rarely last longer than a day or two in our kitchen.

If you’re short on time or don’t want to read the full review, I made a summary of pros and cons with a 7 day free trial linked at the bottom of the post. Please note that I’m not affiliated with Pimsleur but am giving my review of their program and methods after 7 days using it myself.
Zdravstvuyte vse! (…which means “hello everyone” in transliterated Russian.) To start this post off, here’s a quick history of my Russian-learning and Pimsleur knowledge:

I believe it’s important to acknowledge the context and history of things as we study them out, regardless of whether we agree with or like the ideologies of the time or not, or whether things today mean the same as they once did. As I mentioned in my first post, the main issue many people have with many holidays celebrated today is their roots in pagan idolatry, mythologies, folklore, and witchcraft. We are told in the Bible how we’re not supposed to worship our God, YHVH, in the ways of “the nations,” “the Canaanites,” or “the pagans.”
Holidays: a Quick Breakdown (Part 1)
If you’ve seen my Instagram stories over the last year, you’ll likely have noticed I have strong opinions about some holidays. But why? What’s the big deal of having a fun and memorable day with family and friends? What I’d like to do is simply present the facts of history and allow you and your family to decide for yourselves. I’ll also add what my family currently does with each at the end, in case you’re interested to know. But before I do, I want to tell you a little of my background in holidays.
the bored box
Growing up, there were naturally a slew of words that my parents taught my siblings and I not to say. One of them, however, is rarely banned in households, and that is the word “bored.” Sure, it wasn’t actually banned in our home, either, but we were supposed to stay creative and play, finding something to do, or else Mom would say she’d give us more math to do.
