After every week of loopy wind, sleet, rain, and altogether too-chilly-for-April climate, it was a tremendous 84 levels with sunshine. I soaked up as a lot sunshine as potential understanding that we nonetheless have a few months to go earlier than it is a every day factor once more. 

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: With flavorful salmon nestled on a mattress of child greens, contemporary herbs, glass noodles, avocado, crunchy cabbage and carrots, pickled broccoli and a to-die-for chili lime dressing, this Asian Salmon Salad is a showstopper.

This can be a salad to get very excited for – simply ask my family and friends. I’ve been shouting about it for months, and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you ultimately.

Stuffed with toasted sesame taste, tangy, and crisp-tender, sweet and savory pickled broccoli is unexpectedly fantastic. Very like bread and butter pickles in style, these brined, thinly sliced broccoli stems are nice on salads (see above!), sandwiches, and cheese boards.

My FAVORITE THING this week is my new-ish journaling Bible. I’ve been utilizing it for a number of months now and I like love find it irresistible. I initially purchased simply the New Testament journaling Bible (this is available in a set of 5 spiral certain journals) to see how I appreciated it. I wound up ordering the remainder of the set inside a month. I’ve by no means loved my Bible research occasions extra and I discover myself taking extra notes with a deeper understanding of the scriptures the extra I take advantage of it.

What I’m WATCHING: These Bible Project videos that tell the story of Jesus life, death, and resurrection as portrayed within the Gospel of Luke. I’ve discovered a lot via these movies and I can’t suggest them extremely sufficient. Youngsters and adults love them, and I’m so completely satisfied to have discovered these movies. Every one is just some minutes lengthy, making them good for little breaks via the day.

What I’m LISTENING to: The Good King by Ghost Ship. This album is a mixture of so many various sounds, largely folk-rock with a mixture of ballads, Christian rock, and modern worship music within the combine too. I’m nonetheless very a lot having fun with it.

“And I offers you a brand new coronary heart, and a brand new spirit I’ll put inside you. And I’ll take away the center of stone out of your flesh and offer you a coronary heart of flesh. And I’ll put my Spirit inside you, and trigger you to stroll in my statutes and watch out to obey my guidelines.” Ezekiel 36:26-27 ESV
