Words Are Inadequate...

Behold the Man upon the cross, my sin upon His shoulders… it was my sin that held Him there…His dying breath has brought me life...His wounds have paid my ransom.

Book Review- "Life in Spite of Me"

"Life in Spite of Me" is a moving story of a young woman, Kristen Anderson, who threw herself onto the train tracks one cold night, hoping to end all of her pain.

 As thirty-three freight cars sliced through her body, Kristen welcomed death; but God had other plans.

 Thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers, I was able to join Kristen through her physical -and spiritual- pain as she struggled to face life and to find the answers for which she was searching.

 I recommend this book to any person- siblings, parents, pastors, teachers, etc. It may help you to help others that are in Kristen's place, and maybe even help yourself.

Field Trip- Indiana State Capitol

 We went to our State Capitol for a school field trip on February 18, and I think the whole family had a great time!

(Funny thing about the above picture of the state Justices: Our tour lady pointed to the middle picture of the middle row, and said "You see that guy right there? The one in the middle? Well, there's nothing special about him, I just wanted you to see how funny he looks in his picture." If I were a tour guide, I would totally point that out too! : )

Library (My family said that I couldn't go in there, because I'd spend too much time amongst the books. As you can see, I didn't listen to them, haha. :)

In the Rotunda, not only does a beautiful glass dome grace the ceiling, but eight marble statues (seven of classic Roman features, the eighth modeled after the wife of an Indiana judge) are also positioned all around, representing the "essential cornerstones of Indiana's government." They are as follows: Agriculture, Liberty, History, Art, Law, Oratory, Commerce (not pictured) and Justice.
