Tidbit Tuesday #160

It’s been a LONG time, Tidbit Tuesday! But I’ll blame that on the fact that I’ve been easily distracted by visiting friends and salmonella poisoning. (Which visited me, but is definitely NOT a friend!) The good news is that I’ve FINALLY turned a corner and will hopefully be 100% myself within the next few days. Thank God for my mom and ibuprofen and thermometers and really bland food to get me over the hump! :)

My dad’s a history buff. And inconsequently, a wine/Lincoln/Reagan buff… (Hey – I always know what to get him for Christmas!) Most recently he’s been researching our family tree. We’ve always known our great-grampa times nine was Juan Ponce de Leon (Spanish explorer and conquistador who searched for the fountain of youth and founded Florida). But we didn’t know until last week that we ARE in fact related to Daniel Chester French – sculptor of the LINCOLN MEMORIAL. You might be able to imagine how excited we all are about THAT one. So tell me… What’s your most fascinating family tie?! Are you related to the queen of England??

Song of the Week: My Dear by Bethel Music’s The Loft Sessions. Oh good grief… There is NOTHING like this song to remind me of how wonderful and FUN and life-transforming my God is. Unfortunately, it’s not on Spotify. But you can listen to it AND watch it HERE. Pretty please give it a listen? And then listen to it again. And again.

In case you missed it, info on NY mini-sessions is UP! So far, two sessions have been booked. But four are still up for grabs! Whatever you do, make sure you read the FULL post before signing up. You can do so HERE. In the meantime, you can also enjoy this pretty picture from Saturday. Holley and Josh will be blogged soon!!

Happy Tuesday!!
