New Blog Address

It’s been on my mind to do for some time now, but I finally just did it.

I changed my blog address and title. 

You can now find, read, and visit me at DailyCupOfGrace.com.

It is the same content, same me, just a more fitting title with more flexibility.

And this is what you’ll see when you get there….

Building

Building.  It is something that in my 9 years of married life I have spent quite a bit of time doing. 

Right after we got married we spent a whole year planning and working our way through the building process on our home in PA.  Then 4 years later we spent 3 very intense months gutting and re-building our current home.  And now another 4 years later we have just finished an almost 2 month long addition project.

In all the time I have spent on the process of building homes I never once thought about building a Reading Priorities List.  Until now; after I read a fabulous book about reading titled: Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books by Tony Reinke. 

Up until last week I have always felt a bit overwhelmed at deciding which book to read next out of the many books I have in my “To Read” pile.  However, taking the time to build a Reading Priorities List has changed that pressure and given me greater purpose in the time I spend reading.  I now have a plan that allows my reading to build on what I have already read in order to build both godly habits and thinking into my life.

Therefore, when I built my list from the model that Reinke gives, I thought it was only appropriate that it have a building theme.  Here is the basic outline.  (You can see the whole list in this post on my book review blog.)

My Reading Priorities:

  1. Foundational Reading: (Scripture)

  2. Structural Reading: (My Identity In Christ)

  3. Mechanical Reading: (Spiritual Understanding)

  4. Interior Reading: (Personal Growth)

  5. Exterior Reading: (Skill Sharpening)

  6. Finishing Reading: (Wholesome Enjoyment)

How about YOU?  What are you reading? 

Stay tuned next week to look at my Reading List for 2012 using my new priorities to build it!

BBQ Chicken

Do you like a good, quick meal?

Is that a dumb question?!

Winking smile

I happened upon this video clip and now I often use this EASY and YUMMY recipe to put together a QUICK pan of chicken for dinner.

Around here we love a good chicken dinner.  And this Mama likes it a lot when it’s FAST. 

The time it takes to fix the dinner…not the chicken!

So how about YOU?  What GOOD and FAST chicken recipes do you like?
