Friday’s Fave Five

Posted on by

Welcome to Friday’s Fave Five, hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story, in which we can share our favorite things from the last week. This has been a wonderful exercise in looking for and appreciating the good things God blesses us with.

It’s been a good week.

1. I made progress on several fronts after a week or two of feeling foggy.

2. Jason (middle son) had two job interviews last week and was called back for a second interview with one company this week.

3. Sunday nights are some of my favorite times. Though we’re not legalistic about it, we try not to do regular work on Sundays and try to keep the TV off that day, so after a big breakfast and dinner and kitchen clean-up, I’m “off” the rest of the day. We come home from church Sunday night and everyone gets a snack and we either play games or read, or just generally relax. And lately Sunday nights have been time for…

4. Face time. All the males in my family have an iPod 4 which has a feature called Face Time — kind of like Skype except on the iPod. Jeremy has been calling on Sunday nights and it is nice to talk as long as we want for free and to be able to talk to all of us at once or to pass the iPod around.

5. A new Bible. The cover on my old one was staring to tear. I’d been wanting one with a more decorative cover but at first had only seen them on versions other than the KJV. I use the NASB sometimes and my kids have an ESV, but I use the KJV most of the time and especially at church. I found this one during a Bible sale on the already marked-down price, plus it is large print without being too big and clunky — so I don’t have to put my reading glasses on and off between reading the text and looking at the preacher. The brown part of the cover is really soft — I have to keep myself from rubbing it.

I asked Mittu if it looked too teen-ager-ish, and she assured me it looked fine for any age. 🙂

Have a great weekend!

  1. Oh! How great for Jason (on the job interviews.) I hope you’ll have some very good news to share with us soon!

    I like the way you spend your Sunday evenings. We’re working on a “system” that will work for us. Haven’t found it yet. Primarily because little kids are constantly changing things …but one day we’ll find a relaxed schedule that works for us!

  2. Your Sunday nights sound just heavenly. It does take effort to pull it off, but obviously worthwhile. And I would think that once you get in the routine, everyone looks forward to the peacefulness.

    Good luck to your son on the job hunt!

  4. Hurray for the job interviews for Jason!
    I like your new Bible’s cover — and how nice that the text is big enough 🙂 I love my travel sized Bibles, but wish they font were just a wee bit bigger.

  5. I love your new Bible…I got a new ESV study bible for Christmas…it’s dark maroon with a rose lattice border…so purdy!

  6. The Bible looks very “you”…isn’t it a delight that He saved a PINK one and ON SALE too…He knows you, girlfriend! 🙂

  7. Mittu is right on the look of your Bible. My Biblical Literature professor was so fond of the KJV. Face time is so much fun. And Sundays off too 🙂 Happy Friday!

  9. Family time is so important. Good for you and your family to make one day without the ‘extras’!! Sounds like a great day.

    The Bible is very nice. Pretty, not ‘teenagerish’ at all. 🙂 A new Bible for me is always bittersweet. I love the ‘newness’ of the new one, but I miss the notes, highlights, etc. that I write in my old one. For this reason, a new Bible doesn’t happen real often.

    We have plans to get an iPhone 4 for us and one for our missionary kids….once they have the network to support it in Zambia.

  10. Oh your new Bible cover is beautiful. Not too youngish at all, just classic beauty. Hurray for the job interview for Jason!
