Here it is Tuesday already. I had surgery last week to repair a very rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia and I’ve been sorta out of it. I can definitely already tell a big difference in the results though.

The Amazing Bible Timeline…
One of my biggest struggles as an adult has been my jumbled mess of a mind when it comes to history. I admit, I can be nerdy at times. I do love learning, especially when I can put together the history recorded in the Bible and the history recorded in secular sources. But alas, this has always, always been a struggle for me.
