Photo of the Week: Six

I’m really not a big risk taker and I’m really not all that adventurous, but I felt a little bit of both when I realized that I took this photo shortly after “breaking in” to an unused chapel (in all fairness, the property is pretty much abandoned and the door/lock was already broken…), about the same time as a dead rodent was discovered on the altar just to the right of where I was standing, and just before being scared out of the building by something flying around in the rafters. So apparently, photo excursions make me uncharacteristically bold.

Photo of the Week: Five

If you follow me on twitter (or facebook), you may recall that last weekend, I had a bit of a baking fail. I tried a new recipe for peanut butter chocolate bars, then totally forgot to add the vanilla to the chocolate layer (worse, I didn’t even think about it until the pan had been in the oven for about 5 minutes), and then I ended up not loving them anyways.

So in an effort to redeem myself (um, yes, a baking fail one weekend absolutely requires a baking success the next), I finally got around to purchasing brown sugar this week so I could try another new recipe that I found for one extra large chocolate chip cookie. Win!

The 2012 Blogging Adventure(s)

As I mentioned here, I’m changing things up a little this year:

1. I have decided to use a new read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year plan for 2012 (the M’Cheyne plan…which goes through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the rest of the Old Testament once). As part of my effort to stay accountable to both the reading plan and to writing, on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week I will be posting a devo thought based on the previous week’s reading {at least for now}. As I have always considered devotions to be the heartbeat and core of this blog, I’m really looking forward to a more systematic approach to the devo thoughts this year, and pray that this walk through Scripture will be an encouragement to you as well!

2. Although I’m technically already a week behind (unless if you count the above photo…), in an attempt to improve in and further my knowledge of all things photography, I will also be doing an unofficial 52-week photo project and posting one photo per week (hopefully on Friday, but that is totally subject to change at this point). These posts probably won’t be super long or wordy (shocking, I know) as they’ll mainly serve to document the photos throughout the year, and I have no rules for myself other than that the photo must have been taken within the prior seven days.

Of course, you can still expect to see recipes and life thrown randomly into the mix here and there as well. Thanks for hanging in there with me and continuing to read this humble little blog…I am so grateful for each one of you!
