Reformed Books

This site looks pretty cool. In some ways similar to a project i have planned for the future, but still plenty different that i will pick up with again when time permits.

http://www.reformedbooks.net

I haven't had a chance to look over it in depth yet, but it seems to be what a resource site should be. It's straight and to the point but still organized into categories for easy browsing. The layout is nice but not too distracting. It seems to be an easy-to-use site with a good number of books listed. It is a subministry of mongerism.com, who said that they have more to be added. Fifteen cool points. Have fun!

Is it Fall Yet?

It's been getting colder. Fall is my favorite season. I crave of the crisp air brushing across my face. The best month is October, although September is really climbing up there ;)

I was planing on entering the Worldviews Essay contest the Trinity Foundation is putting on, but I didn't get that far in the book, and then I got really busy with wedding-planning and moving. The receive-by date is Labor Day, so really Saturday since mail isn't delivered on holidays. That's not going to happen. I still have a lot of stuff at my old place and Morgan wants her room back. I did enjoy reading the book though and will eventually go back and finish it. I think it will also come in handy years from now as a textbook.

When you need help is when you find out who your friends are. Kudos to Meaghan, Miguel, Sarah, Vaillen, and Greg for helping us out during this moving process.

Dr. Lehman delivered one of the most powerful semons I have heard in a while. The presentation was a little difficult to follow, but the content made you try. It was on prayer. Just showing examples of how prayer has worked and such. It convicted me for waiting for soemthing bad to happen because I have been blessed so much lately. It makes me want to pray more. It has always been a difficult habit to keep (for many people too, i'm sure), so it's good for a basic sermon like that to remind you of the importance and power of prayer. I'm just sad that I always forget about the prayer meeting at our church when scheduling anniversary dates. This Thursday will be one year since Nathaniel and i started "dating" (courting?). I already have something planned and am not sure if I can reschedule it. I thought they were going to start having weekly meetings on Thursdays instead of still monthly on Fridays. That would be so much better. ::shrug::

The Grove-Watkins Wedding!!


It's getting really exciting now, because our wedding is less than a month away (one day shy, but that's still less!) There is still so much to do but I think I have it all under control (famous last words?) Anyway, we were trying to limit the guest list because the reception hall capacity is so relatively small (and we can't afford food for more people than can fit in that room). It was a very hard task and we did go over (oops. what? Nathaniel has a very large family). However, we decided that since the church can sit 300, that it will be open. So if you didn't get an invite (check your inbox just in case) and aren't a random stranger passing by the blog (that would be a little creepy for us and boring for you) then please consider this an invitation to attend the ceremony. All the details can be found at the website below.
