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

Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

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

Jesus Gives Good Things

October 5, 2019October 4, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than … Continue reading Jesus Gives Good Things

Volleyball and the Sunset

September 3, 2019September 2, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

I don't usually go to youth group events, mainly because I'm an introvert, and large gatherings aren't my forte. Tonight I went though, and it turned out to be a lovely evening. I got to catch up with some very dear friends I hadn't seen in a while. I was sitting on a lawn chair … Continue reading Volleyball and the Sunset

My First Lecture

August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 5 Comments

(An abridged and altered version of what I presented to Mrs. Vanbuskirk and the summer PN class of 2019. Based on The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.) When I started thinking about writing my lecture, I realized that I only had one childhood dream. I’ve had that dream since I was ten; maybe younger, and it … Continue reading My First Lecture

A Mini Country Adventure

August 20, 2019August 19, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 2 Comments

Yesterday, Liz and I went to Long's Park, where we set up a little campsite and spent the afternoon outside. As we were walking from the car into the glade (technically it wasn't a glade, since a glade requires a forest, but it sorta felt like a mini forest, so maybe it was a mini … Continue reading A Mini Country Adventure

On Becoming A Nurse – Summer Part Three

July 27, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

I can't even begin to describe how hectic this summer has been! I'm happy to admit that I have found some areas of nursing that I have really enjoyed. Following is an excerpt from a paper I wrote for school. "Toward the end of last semester, while I was at Moravian Manor, Ms. Acrie shared … Continue reading On Becoming A Nurse – Summer Part Three
