FAITH
Leviticus and you
I’m on a Bible-in-a-year journey, and thus far, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in Old Testament law. NGL, it’s not the most exciting read. I hate saying that because ALL Scripture is beneficial (thanks, Timothy), but seriously, what am I supposed to do with information like this?:
Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the Lord as a penalty for their sin—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. They are to bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one for the sin offering. He is to wring its head from its neck, not dividing it completely, and is to splash some of the blood of the sin offering against the side of the altar; the rest of the blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. The priest shall then offer the other as a burnt offering in the prescribed way and make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
Leviticus 5: 7-10
Thankfully, the Holy Spirit showed me exactly what I’m supposed to do with that information (spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with slaughtering a lamb).
You can boil all those gnarly laws, rules, and sacrificial procedures into one word: obedience.
The post-Exodus Israelites were living on a prayer (literally), desperately seeking the Promised Land, and making plenty of mistakes along the way. God wanted His chosen people to be obedient to Him and, most importantly, set apart from the savage paganism that surrounded them.
The truth is, we’re all like the Israelites. This planet is our wilderness, through which we are to wander until we finally enter the Promised Land, heaven. By the grace of God, we no longer have to slaughter animals to atone for our sins; the call to obedience is ever-present.
How are you showing obedience to God in your life (or not)?

MOM HACK
The warning system

When my husband sends me his “packing up and heading out” text at the end of the day, I often reply with a status update for the household. It looks something like this:
MOM: A bit frazzled, but I'm okay
KID 1: He didn't nap so great, so tread lightly
KID 2: He’s a happy kid today!
Sometimes, it’s a simple 👍 or 👎.
I just try to give my husband a bit of a heads-up so he knows how best to approach everyone when he walks in the door.
Try it and tell us if it helps!
JUST FOR FUN
Have you heard of these wives’ tales?
Wives’ tales are so much fun, and even though we know they’re mostly silly, we love it when they’re proven true. Some of the tales you’re most familiar with likely revolve around pregnancy. For instance, having lots of morning sickness means you’re carrying a girl (false, in my opinion), craving sweets means a girl and salty foods means a boy, etc., etc. But perhaps you haven’t heard of these (really weird) ones:
🦶If your right foot itches, you’re about to go on a trip
👛If you put your purse on the floor, you’ll lose money
💃If a single woman sits at the corner of a table, she won’t get married
🍴If you drop silverware, someone is coming to visit (fork = woman, knife = man, spoon = child)
👃If your nose itches, someone is talking about you
Got a good wives’ tale no one’s heard of? Send it to us!
