		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, I ran across a Facebook memory of mine talking about gifts the God had given me that year. It still makes me smile thinking about them. I stopped to think about what gifts God had given me this year, if any, in the middle of such a tough year for so&#8230;]]></description>

The ones who didn’t go to seminary, but are still fascinated with where the descendants of the tribes of Israel are today, or really want to know the back story behind&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The Sofa Series. Our ultimate goal in the series is to not just understand more of the Bible, but through the series, get to know who God really is. Here on the sofa, you&#8217;ll pull up your comfiest chair, tuck your feet under your Snuggie, and dig into God&#8217;s Word. Here, we&#8217;re informal&#8230;]]></description>

Today we were driving to pick up dog food, and I look over at the passenger seat at the school schedules for the coming year. Let me give you some background. Somehow, N ended up with band on his schedule. When we picked the schedules up at&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Bible reading this morning hit too close to home. In Judges 6, we learn about how the Israelites abandoned God in favor of other gods. They were under oppression from the Midianites, who were so cruel that the Israelites were hiding in caves and rocks. Whenever they would plant crops, the Midianites would come&#8230;]]></description>

So you flip around to get back on the highway, but you can&#8217;t find the right road? Our journey on this path of autism and ADHD with a side of dysgraphia has been something like that.&#8230;]]></description>

The last time I updated you, we&#8217;d just moved into a new condo. It was new, and clean, and the kitchen was phenomenal. The stove worked. We didn&#8217;t see a&#8230;]]></description>

I mean I read it. Over and over. I studied it. I mapped locations and read definitions. But I couldn&#8217;t write a Bible Study past the 16th&#8230;]]></description>
