The list, my star rating, and some notes. In 2018 I started trying to keep a count and list of all the books I read in a year, in addition to the longer entries about particular books.

Very fun book that explores families, parenting, adoption, and great characters with lots of funny lines and humorous pearls of wisdom. Highly recommend!

Routine things you do throughout the day can be a good way to keep yourself aware of God’s presence—and love.

Sounds like a weird book, but I love it now that I read it.

How can God be God and troubles not be from him?

Wanted to share the joy.

I like the thought that we are always walking on holy ground, as Brian Doyle writes.

From a funny “This American Life” episode to remembering Jesus looking at us in love.

Super fun, exciting, and creative book!

“Arranged prose” about a rainy night experienced in my bedroom.

That passage where Jesus tells the story of the separation of the sheep and goats—it’s pretty significant what he didn’t say.

What a friend we have in Jesus.

How will I start this day that the Lord has given me?

Oh, love that will not let me go...

Why did it? :)

In honor of California, as we get ready to leave.

Might seem like a strange statement…

A jarring statement.

Singing together is a gift from God.

Just for fun.
