"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

Thursdays Before the Throne

"Satisfied with Thee, Lord Jesus."
Words & Music: Hen­ry Ben­nett

Satisfied with Thee, Lord Jesus, I am blest;
Peace which passeth understanding,
On Thy breast;
No more doubting, no more trembling,
Oh, what rest! Oh, what rest!



Occupied with Thee, Lord Jesus, In Thy grace;
All Thy ways and tho’ts about me
Only trace
Deeper stories of the glories
Of Thy grace, of Thy grace.


Taken up with Thee, Lord Jesus, I would be;
Finding joy and satisfaction
All in Thee;
Thou the nearest and the dearest
Unto me, unto me.


List’ning for Thy shout, Lord Jesus, In the air!
When Thy saints shall rise with joy to
Meet Thee there;
O what gladness! no more sadness,
Sin nor care, sin nor care.



And He said to me,
“My grace is sufficient for you,
for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9

From the God-works-in-mysterious-ways department:
At Bible study last night, we used Genesis 18 (90-year-old Sarah learns she will be with child) as a springboard to discuss the limitations we put on ourselves.

So who knew that our minister would begin the study by addressing our 90-year-old parishioner named... Sarah?
