Richline's Rock: November 2013
http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Monday, November 4, 2013. Our adjustment to living in a foreign capital city has been the biggest life transition I've ever consciously faced. It's true. The "before/after" contrast has been more radical for me than moving from "single" to "married" or even from "married" to "new parent"! Do you like living here? Two years ago, in the classroom at MTI, the professor told us something about cultural transition...

Richline's Rock: A Few Books I've Read this Year
http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-few-books-ive-read-this-year.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. A Few Books I've Read this Year. By Jenna Miscavige Hill. I was frustrated with both the protagonist and the author who created him after reading 7/8ths of the book. But Grisham was simply leading up to a very satisfying conclusion. Not explicitly Christian and could be rated PG13 for some mature scenes. I am keeping it on my list because I shared so many similarities with the main...

Richline's Rock: Heating Habits
http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013/10/heating-habits.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Spring Break starts this week. It’s my favorite time of year because the sun chases away the winter blues, and I can emerge from hibernation and soak in a patch of sunshine. After surviving the coldest, dampest, moldiest, sickest winter of my life, I am more thankful than ever. I don’t think this winter flustered most of my Uruguayan friends. We tried to responsibly and economicall...

We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Family Meeting, Plus Singing and Prayer. Recently I read a secular book about improving family life, searching for a few gems in regard to assigning chores and keeping a house running smoothly. Instead, I came across the advice to hold a family meeting once a week. It was recommended for toddlers as well as teens. And "When do I get the cell phone you promised me? One of the issues was ...

http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013/12/party-panic.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Saturday, December 7, 2013. Have you ever attended a party where you didn't know anyone? Tonight I took Isaiah to a classmate's birthday party. I fully intended to drop him off and read a book in the car, but the girl's mom insisted that I come in and attend the party. I didn't know a single person! By now, these are familiar sights and sounds. It also helped that everyone was inviting and gracious. T...My Sp...

Richline's Rock: May 2013
http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Saturday, May 18, 2013. You Can't Imagine What it Means. I love how technology has enhanced communication. Email, a virtual classroom, and an internet accessible database allowed me to work from home in California. It was the best "outside the home" job I've ever had. I loved it! The kids used to ask me why I played on the computer so much. I guess I was just "playing" and getting paid for it, too. Please for...

Richline's Rock: Growing
http://richlinesrock.blogspot.com/2013/12/growing.html
We will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Saturday, December 7, 2013. How's the youth group? The weekly Bible Study? The young adult's study? One word sums it up: growing. Recently I started shopping to keep the church stocked with snacks for the kids club and for the coffee hour after worship. But we keep running short on cookies and cups. It's because more people keep coming. What have we been doing the past few months? As I think about this past y...
