The Housewife Theologian

What is your normal? What mundane duties do you wake up to most mornings? Gloria Furman’s involves sweeping desert sand from her floors, cleaning dried, crusty fruit from unrinsed smoothie cups, and clipping four sets of finger nails and toenails (with another set on the way). Although her life...

My friend Dana is at it again. And today you are in for a treat. For the anniversary of Anne Boleyn's beheading, Dana Tuttle has put together a mini history lesson to show us how God uses imperfect people to accomplish his sovereign will. Enjoy! I admit it!
