God guides His children, and we must yield to that guidance. That’s the powerful lesson we can take from this week’s passage. Sarah has died. Abraham has lived a long, blessed life. But he must have had a sense of

BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 22-23
I was a pretty good test-taker in school. I didn’t sweat them too much and usually got pretty good grades. On the other hand, God’s tests are much harder to pass. And I often don’t get advanced warning for when
Approaching the end of the season
It’s not very often that Chris gets to ref at Avery’s future high school. So we took advantage of the close location and went to watch him perform. It also was almost our last chance to see him since the
BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 20-21

Welcome back! Did you miss BSF as much as I did? While it was nice to have a break, it’s also good to be back in the BSF routine. Back in December, we left Abram after he rescued his nephew Lot
Avery’s first slip-sliding sledding adventure
We welcomed the new year by spending the day with our friends the Berkemeiers. We relaxed together, watched some football and played with the kids’ new toys. Before our pizza dinner, it was time for Avery’s first attempt at sledding.
Christmas 2012: The Clarks
Our final Christmas celebration was bittersweet. We were excited to spend Christmas Day with Casey and his family, but we were dreading telling them goodbye at the end of the night. They headed back home the next day. But before
Christmas 2012: Christmas morning
Two more posts, and our Christmas updates will be done. I’m sure you’ll be glad! Christmas morning is reserved for the three of us. As soon as we wake up, we wake up Avery too. Soon I’m sure she’ll be
