My Husband, My brother in Christ

I especially enjoy writing about Biblical Womanhood as well as the application of Biblical theology from the perspective of a woman longing to communicate my love for who God is as revealed in His Word of knowable and applicable truth and NOT who I imagine He is from some sentimental, me-centered perspective that is based on relative, roller-coaster ride of self-sustained religion 'truth'. In other words, I like to encourage others to press on in His truth and His love for His glory.

But then, everything I have written has likely been said a whole lot better by someone else. I definitely have no insight that is deeper than what God has already revealed. Therefore, if you find anything of value here than give God the glory!

"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist

Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac

"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice

"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

Monday Madness: Waxing and Waning Edible Moon Phases

My church Homeschool group studies semester themes. This past semesters theme was Space and Flight Exploration. Every field trip and class, whether it be history, art, science and even P.E., was centered around that theme. For example, our P.E. class was "Flight Training." They did obstacle courses, they were timed while having to put flashlights together and use tongs to move "moon rocks" from one bucket to another while wearing oversized gloves and a helmet with a face mask. On one of the science days, we studied moon phases. Below is a pic of an edible one I had my class make. It was quite fun... a little messy.... but worth it. The blue cupcake is "Earth" and the "moons" are oreo cookies that have the icing scraped off with a jar lid to show what the moon looks like in certain phases. Everything was "glued" down to the paper plate with icing. (next semesters theme is the "Civil War" and you can see our event schedule HERE)

This is a great thing you have done! I want to do this....where do I begin?

Hey Melanie,
First buy some Oreos for the moon phases and blue icing cupcakes for the earth. You label the paper plate as shown, but allow the kids to use either a canning jar or drinking glass to create the moonphases after they have pulled off one side of the cookie, making sure that the white icing stays in tact. Use frosting to "glue" the cookies and cupcake down.
I drew circles to help them place the cookies and shaded in what kind of moon phase was to go where. The kids had a lot of fun with this very hands on project.

I had fun, too! Enjoy.
