The Perfection of Beauty

What do you think of when I say "the perfection of beauty"?

Picture for a moment what that would look like.

Now, are you imagining a girl who is pretty on the outside? Are you thinking of a model or a movie star?

Or are you thinking about a girl who shines Jesus?

Here's what the Bible says is the perfection of beauty:

"Out of Zion,
the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth."
Psalm 50:1

Is God shining out of you?

Those pesky mosquito bites!

Get a mosquito bite? Want to get that nasty itching to go away?

Rub some honey on a band-aid! The honey helps soothe the itching right away, and, as it's a natural remedy, you don't have to worry about nasty chemicals getting into the bite.

Movie Review: Thor

Thor is the only movie my family has seen in theaters three times in a row.

It's a wholesome classic with a good balance of action and romance, all tied together through a Biblical redemption theme.

I don't have much time to write a review, but if you have a chance to see it, I highly recommend it!

Two more fabulous books

Since I last updated, I've finished two additional books that are worth adding to any girl's historical fiction reading list. Both books--Just Jane (Ladies of History Series #2) and Washington's Lady (Ladies of History Series #3)--are written by Nancy Moser. Just Jane (written about the life of Jane Austen) teaches about the importance of dedicating yourself to pursuing your dreams, even in the midst of a busy life; Washington's Lady (based off the life of Martha Washington) encourages readers to have strength through even the most difficult times. Each book spends its last few pages clarifying which sections were historical fact and which sections came from the author's imagination. If you enjoy uplifting historical fiction, I highly recommend you add both of these books to your reading list!
