Today’s guest blogger is Noelle Larson. You can find her at www.metromom.org or on twitter @metromom. Funny story: A few weeks ago at her church in Nashville, someone said they “like her costume.” She wasn’t wearing a costume… unless, of course, she was disguised as a mom. I had three, count ‘em, three baby showers when [...]
Bible study was so much fun today. We laugh and learn… and then laugh some more. In honor of Cindy Casto’s birthday (please stalk her and sing happy birthday by Sunday), I ordered a cake from Something Chic. You: ”Umm, Rebecca? What is Something Chic?” Me: What planet are you from? How do you not [...]
What should be the greatest verse in this chapter, possibly in the book so far, didn’t impress me-at first. Awww, c’mon. This is archaic language. Everyone knows the sun stands still. Oh… and the moon stopped. Hmm, that’s significant. God stopped the sun. Well, not really, because the sun is not in motion… but whatever [...]

Joshua and the Israelites were deceived by the Gibeonites. The inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai, so they made a plan. The Gibeonites presented themselves like they were of a far away land. They wore dirty and tattered clothes, carried moldy bread and old wineskins, and approached the Israelites [...]
Joshua must’ve learned a lot from Achan’s sin and the battle at Ai in Joshua chapter 7. Now that Isreal had been cleansed from Achan’s sin, Joshua prepared to attack Ai again- this time to win. Lessons we can follow: Let God reveal your sins to you and then confess them. (7:19-21) When you fail, [...]

“There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.” — Chinese Proverbs “I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.” — Phyllis Diller “When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it is a mere formality. It [...]
Joshua and the Israelites just blew the Canaanites out of Jericho, but with a horn instead of weapons. It was a strange tactic, but God had a plan. Click here to read about it. Joshua 6:18 says, “But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by [...]
So Joshua and his posse are to march around the city silently (were there any women there?!) once a day for 6 days. On the 7th day, they did 7 laps and after the 7th times the shouted and the walls came tumbling down. What a strange strategy. According to Aaron McCarter, “Sometimes God has [...]
God parted the Jordan river for the Israelites in chapter 4. Once the flow of the river was stopped, the word of God’s intervention spread throughout the land. The Caananites who occupied the shore packed up and left. Their hearts melted and they lost the courage to stand against God’s chosen people. Little did the [...]
“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the [...]
