I am honored to have the guest post today from my mom, Karen Tero. I have been so blessed to have parents to disciple and encourage me in the Lord. I pray that her article is a blessing to you!

Rom 6:12-2312 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of ri...

E | Photoshoot

I did a quick photoshoot of E the earlier this month. Here's a glimpse of them.

This was actually one of E's picks - the sun was bright!

Abide With Me

Word Wednesday #46

Unwanted Houseguests

When I was fourteen, I wrote about a family experience we had to a friend on the missionfield. Here is the unedited excerpt from my letter (including the original exclamation points).

I think the two most popular guesses were fungus and some type of meat. :) Perhaps this picture will help clarify some details? :)


It was probably 9:30 in the morning when I went outside to cut a few boards for Dad. After finding the tools I needed, I stepped out the side of the house.


Shoots of ice popped up from the ground - about three inches high.


It was fascinating to observe this close-up!




The ice was light and easily b...

Word Wednesday #45

Then the king made Daniel a great man . . . (Daniel 2:48)
Before it got to this point, Shadrach (Hananiah), Meshech (Mishael), and Abednego (Azariah) joined Daniel in prayer ("Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon." Daniel 2:17-18). Yes, Daniel was the one give...

Picture

I had fun taking some pictures outside the other day. Anyone care to guess what this is a picture of? I'll post a few more in a few days. :)
