Verb Energy Bars Review

May 10, 2021May 10, 2021 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

I purchased a bag of Verb Energy Bars, and decided to review them here. They are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan! Each bar contains as much caffeine as a shot of espresso, which is sourced from organic green tea. I had five flavors, but Fiancé ate the cookie butter one as soon as it … Continue reading Verb Energy Bars Review

“Why Biblical Greek?” Part Two

July 20, 2020 ~ Andrew Lamicela ~ 1 Comment

If you haven't seen the first posts in this series, you can check them out here and here. Special thanks to Andrew for this post! In this post, we unpack Angle 2: Reading anything as a translation limits the ability to pick up on subtle nuances and distances the reader from the writer and world … Continue reading “Why Biblical Greek?” Part Two

“Why Biblical Greek?” Part One

January 1, 2020 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

In this post, written by Brother Daniel Smith, we unpack the first angle in this series. Angle 1: Many of the translations of the NT that we have in English are good translations, but there are many nuances and grammatical constructions that cannot be translated into good, natural English. In essence, learn Greek to enhance … Continue reading “Why Biblical Greek?” Part One

“Why Biblical Greek?” Foundation

December 27, 2019January 1, 2020 ~ Beth ~ 3 Comments

Several months ago, I made a post about the Biblical Greek Program I'm part of. I posted some pictures of Bible passages/stories we were acting out, and I included a link to the BGP website. Not too long after that, my brother Andrew did a guest post on my blog about how he got into … Continue reading “Why Biblical Greek?” Foundation

Nursing School – Final Update and Long-Term Goals

December 9, 2019December 31, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

Yup folks, you read that right! This is my last update for nursing school! (Unless I decide to post pictures from my party or the pinning ceremony.) I successfully completed the requirements for this semester, and will be graduating this week! It hasn't fully sunk in yet... and I expect it to take a while … Continue reading Nursing School – Final Update and Long-Term Goals

Nursing School – Fall Semester 3

November 29, 2019November 29, 2019 ~ Beth

Last Thursday, we finished the last slide of the last PowerPoint of the last class of the last semester of nursing school. I don't think it's really sunk in yet just how close graduation is. Just one more week of classes! In some ways, I hardly feel ready to graduate. But I am learning to … Continue reading Nursing School – Fall Semester 3

Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

November 11, 2019November 10, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

Not to brag or anything, but Liz's homemade pumpkin spice lattes are the best! She uses fresh pumpkin puree, raw milk (almond milk for me!), freshly brewed coffee, and pumpkin pie spice. Try it for yourself! (Serves 2) -Brew: a cup of strong coffee (we use a French press) -Heat until bubbly: 2 Tbsp fresh … Continue reading Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

A Reflection on Lamentations 3

November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 2 Comments

The book of Lamentations (found in the Old Testament) is believed to have been written by the prophet Jeremiah after the Babylonians destroyed Israel around 580 BC. As the name of the book suggests, it contains lamentations, or expressions of grief, over what had happened to the Holy City and the temple. In the middle … Continue reading A Reflection on Lamentations 3

Nursing School – Fall Semester 2

October 30, 2019October 30, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

It is my greatest pleasure to announce to you all that as of the end of last month (September), I have officially applied to graduate as an LPN this December! It feels hard to believe that I applied to graduate less than a year after I applied to the nursing program or started any classes. … Continue reading Nursing School – Fall Semester 2

My Dear Amaris

October 29, 2019October 29, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

My dear Amaris... What am I ever going to do with myself when you go back home? Over the past five weeks, I've been so blessed to have you staying here. Even though the circumstances weren't exactly ideal, it made us so happy to have you and your mom around. There's just something really special … Continue reading My Dear Amaris
