The Powells: March 2009
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. Titus came in this afternoon from playing with the neighbor boy. This boy has caused Katie and Titus some concern. He doesn't believe in God, and they don't know how to process this. Imagine Titus' little brow furrowed and his voice deep with intensity. Mom, Josh says he hates God.". Are you and Katie hassling him about God? Josh says he hates God! A few minutes later I heard Titus saying to Katie, "I wonder what will happen to Josh. Will the ground open up and swallow him?

The Powells: October 2015
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2015. So to my atheist friends and family, think about what would happen if all these quiet, generous people are gone. Will the government really be able to meet all those needs that my brothers and sisters are sacrificing out of their own time and funds to meet now? Will the bureaucrats be there to cry with the abandoned wife and mother? Will they deliver the food stamps with hugs and kindness that continues day in and day out? Will you take their places?

The Powells: February 2009

Monday, February 2, 2009. Titus Learns About Fighting the Devil. This morning at family devotions Titus began talking about how he was going to punch and kick Satan since Satan wants to destroy us. I said, "Titus, God gave us different tools to fight Satan. God gave us the Bible. To be a strong man of God, you have to know God's word.". Titus responded, "When I grow up I am going to get pinchers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Basket of Figs (father-in-law). Highlights Of My Life (cousin).

The Powells: June 2016
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2016. GK Chesterton's Father Brown quote. What is the good of a man being honest in his worship of dishonesty? Saturday, June 18, 2016. Thou God Seest Me. How would we, so small and insignificant, so vulnerable to the terrible forces around us in this awe-inspiring violent creation get through the day without a God who sees? How does one face a gaping void with no meaning? And she called the name of the Lord. That spake unto her, Thou God seest me.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Powells: September 2015
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 10, 2015. Great Power, Great Responsibility. My father paid for me to attend driver's training courses, and he spent hours upon hours impressing into my psyche (much to the irritation of my husband at times) the hugely dangerous business driving is. My father, fearing the consequences of the misuse of this privilege, invested a LOT into training me to drive safely and responsibly. Oh the sweet, sweet feeling of independence from my parents! Eats and drinks judgment to himself, not dis...

The Powells: December 2008
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. We spent Christmas at Bud and Penny's this year. Penny is great at decorating for holidays, but this year her home seemed especially nice. As my sister said, "It's like being at a nice lodge for Christmas." Her home was the epitome of a Colorado Christmas this year. The pictures do not do it justice. My little sister Liz was with us this year which was a special treat for Katie and Titus. She is great about playing with them. Plus, Liz got a Wii. Katie is modeling her new Chris...

The Powells: Thou God Seest Me
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2016/06/thou-god-seest-me.html
Saturday, June 18, 2016. Thou God Seest Me. But the thought of God being gone fills me with dread. The absence of a benevolent, imminent God would leave an empty void. No one to care about me enough, no one with the powers to fill the aching needs inside. Is this why so many are numbing themselves with alcohol, frenetic activity, reality altering drugs, and mindless entertainment? How does one face a gaping void with no meaning? And she called the name of the Lord. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Powells: March 2014
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. The Tutor of Prophets, Priests, and Kings. Our children are not for common use. They are not meant to please themselves or live a life mindless of duty and privilege. Just as the son of a king is raised differently than a son of a peasant, so our children are raised with the duties God's consecration entails. I should be raising each child with their special calling in mind. This idea has been transforming and shaping my approach to parenting. How do I train them in self-control ...

The Powells: November 2014
http://andreapowell.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 22, 2014. The Wonder of God's Condescension! O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord. Thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.".
