The Vicks in Texas: Going south!
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2008/03/going-south.html
Friday, March 14, 2008. I can say that with relief, as we just finished our finals today! I know, it's hard to believe another semester is already gone! It seems like we just had Christmas and started this term! It's flown by, but been a real blessing. It was a challenging semester, though. We seem to have hit burnout a few weeks back. But we pressed on and made it through this week, including a brutal Ed Wharton final in Scheme of Redemption today. We did our best! After three days of the Lubbock campai...

The Vicks in Texas: October 2007
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 5, 2007. The stars stand out. I am sorry for not posting for so long! Our computer has been giving us Internet issues for a few weeks now. We are finally back up and running, thanks to Laura's laptop, which we are borrowing. Thanks sis! First of all, the most exciting news of the year, for me anyway - my sister is engaged! This is wonderful news. Ashley and Joel have been dating for about 3 years, so we've been patiently waiting for this blissful moment! One of our youth is marching in th...

The Vicks in Texas: a stripe with a smell
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2008/02/stripe-with-smell.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2008. A stripe with a smell. Robin and I are enjoying our research week so far. Our dear friend Crystal came and spent the weekend in Lubbock and we had a great time! It is so refreshing to see old friends. We also had one of our classmates from NY over for dinner Friday night and it was such an encouragement. We just love time of fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ! Haha You have to admire Sunset for keeping us in the Word constantly! Well, I'm off to do some reading...

My Name is Madelyn. Aren’t I the Cutest Thing You’ve Ever Seen? Laquo; Desert Weddings and Planes. The Pit of Doom! Recently I just had my first Christmas, and let me tell you what a Christmas it was! On Christmas Eve we went to Jimpa and Gram’s house and you should have seen all the stuff I got. Everyone kept wanting me to play with all of the new toys, but I found something even better….wrapping paper! Although I have noticed it’s not so funny when I do it to her. Hmmmm.). I love them too. Well I bette...

My Name is Madelyn. Aren’t I the Cutest Thing You’ve Ever Seen? Archive for July 2008. Laquo; My Name is Madelyn home page. July 15, 2008. I know. I know. Even start. It’s been awhile. Blah, blah. As much as I love my adoring fans, I can’t help it if I am incredibly busy for a 14 month old. Let me tell you….so much has happened since my last blog entry! First of all there was this one day that Mommy and Daddy were very excited about. I think they called it my Burp Day. Isn’t that weird? So there was that...

The Vicks in Texas: Counter-Cultural Christians
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2009/05/counter-cultural-christians.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. The third and final thing I want to write about for this assignment is the idea of conforming to the image of the world, rather than conforming to the image of Christ. I think this is an issue that my generation really struggles with – and something that is becoming a real danger to our churches today. As more of the world seeps in, more of Christ seeps out. Yes, we must still live in it, but shouldn’t non-Christians at least be able to tell who we are? I know it is difficult to ...

The Vicks in Texas: Family and Youth Class
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2009/05/family-and-youth-class.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Family and Youth Class. For my Family and Youth Ministry class, I am assigned to write three web-logs on issues affecting family and youth in the church. Hope you enjoy them! Feel free to comment. 8220;Unity of the Faith”. It’s quite a sobering realization! Basically, when the body of Christ is functioning as it should – making full use of the spiritual gifts God gave us – we build the church up to unity, maturity and growth! Surely all of us can pursue that at the very least!

The Vicks in Texas: Commission to Submission
http://thevicksintexas.blogspot.com/2009/05/commission-to-submission.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. And yet, the end of Christ’s prayer is what really stops me. He prays, “Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Christ as a man didn’t want to suffer on that cross, but Christ as the Son of God was willing to submit himself to God’s will and die for the salvation of mankind. As a child of God, what am I willing to submit myself to God for? Am I willing to do it when suffering could result? What about on a daily basis – am I willing to submit in the small things of life?
