Well, there is a chronological Bible out there. I'm not sure the name of it, but I'm sure it'd be easy to find.

This one is the first I saw when I googled it. I haven't seen it personally. It's a New King James translation.

Have you seen the Waldron's book that divides the bible up into 17 time periods? The time periods are a chronological "skeleton" so to speak, then you fill in the skeleton with the bible stories that fit into each time period. I love this approach, as it helps with learning the bible as one big story, and thus helps to retain each new part learned, for it is connected to the things before and after. For whatever reason, I can't think of the name of the book, but if you don't have it and you'd like it, I'll be glad to find my copy and let you know.

^^^That's my favorite. Here it is.... It is only $2.50 and is a 'way' of studying...just a short book. I've used it myself and with virtually every age I can think of. I cannot say enough about it. I LOVE it. It is called 3 Cycle Approach.

Sorry, I don't really have recommendations. Yet. :P

I use the daily bible. It has you go through the bible in a year. I got a really cheap one for about $5--I think. Since I have other Bibles I didn't see the point of getting one of the more expensive ones, and it has served it purpose the two years I've had it!

Thanks everyone! I thought you were talking about the "other" Waldron book Cara (The History and Geography of the Bible Story). Crazy me...I should have asked...oh well. I have a few different suggestions that I might try! Thanks

Thank you, Rob, for your service to our country! Thank you, Laura, for standing by your soldier!

CONGRATS!!!! So happy for you and Rob and Lucas :)

Congratulations!

I had to go exploring to figure out what ^they^ were talking about. Found it fairly quick. Congratulations! =)

Ahhh, these are GREAT! I love all of them. I can't believe how big he is...

Wonderfully adorable pictures!!!!

CUTE! :)

Adorable! I love the push ups picture!

The pictures are so cute. As I'm typing, the smile from seeing them is still lingering!

Great pictures! =D

But of course Aunt Katie is a completely unbiased aunt - the most completely unbiased aunt I've ever seen!!!!!!!!

=D

I am definitely going to look into that book. I love to read devotionals and studies on my own. Have you read anything by Elizabeth George? She is really good. I especially liked A Woman After God's Own Heart and my favorite was Loving God With All Your Mind. The last one did so much for my faith.

Your goals sound good--I would think weekly goals would be the best.

Good idea, Laura! There are so many things that I need to work on as well, and maybe your "one thing at a time" approach will also work better for me. Now, I just need to decide which one first...

Love this!!!

I missed your b-day (our FL trip). Sorry you were sick!
Happy Belated Birthday!

Belated Happy Birthday!

Good ideas. =)

Happy Birthday! =D
I hope you recover quickly!

Oh, feel better!
And Happy Birthday!!

I feel bad I didn't get to Pleo to wish you a Happy Birthday. I did think of it but then got distracted with something. But at least I did get it on FB.

So hope you're feeling better, dear!

Laura, I hope your stomach bug is over....I dread that more than any other short term illness. I hope that you can celebrate a wonderful birthday when you are feeling better!

Thanks everyone! I am feeling better now...unfortunately, Rob was home from training just long enough to catch it and have to go back!! So...keep him in your prayers now!

What a bummer :( I'll pray for him.
Happy belated birthday!
I've been thinking about you. Hope things are going well :)

Things you need to do...
-come see you sister it is much WARMER here

Glad Luke is responding well! Your Bible Class sounds wonderful.

It's good to be back! Andy and I are just studying a book on our own and doing our own research--no materials. We both do a lot of cross referencing to understand better. We are doing one minor prophet a week-discuss on Tuesday evening after girls in bed. Last week I was out so we actually didn't start the study until about 10! We have casually looked at things scripturally over the years, and even tried to do early morning devo's together, but this is actually the first time that we have made a schedule and stuck with it. This just works for us. We both say we should have started sooner though.

I just briefly read some of your past struggles with Luke on the crunchy moms group. I feel terrible for you because I know exactly what you are going through. Audrey was the easiest child on the planet which is why I was so ready for number 2. Emmie on the other hand was a completely different story. She screamed LOUD from the minute she was born. Even the nurses in the hospital would leave the room because of her cry. She had hip dysplasia, gerd, and a milk allergy. It was a really really rough several months. I do believe that all of the screaming and sleep deprivation led to my ppd problems. I will tell you that it does get better. I am so thankful for the medication and that it seems to be helping Luke. Emmie outgrew all of her problems by the age of one and while she still has a very loud cry she doesn't have any issues with gerd or milk:) I do remember the hard times with her, but she is such a sweet girl now that it doesn't seem like she could have possibly ever been that stinky--she wasn't stinky, but sick. Once we got her all straightened out we were able to really see who she was and that is a precious gift. We got glimpses of it at first, but now we get to see it all the time! I am just now really feeling ready to have another baby. Em will be well over 3 by that time and with Audrey she wasn't even 2 before being a big sister. Let me know if you have any questions. I love you and am so happy to be catching up with you!

I'm so thankful that Luke (and you) are getting some relief!!

Good to hear from you. =)
