Caitlin Nicole Babcock MA-IPCR

Caitlin graduated from grad school!!! She is now officially a Master of Peace and Conflict Resolution. I am so proud of her!!

Headed to the school for pre-graduation prep ... We may have been a little late.

Robing up! But only for pictures. There was still 2.5 hours until the ceremony.

Cait's "International Peace and Conflict Resolution" cohort.

(Not a great quality pic, but you get the idea.)

This is the fourth time I've been to a Caitlin Babcock graduation and I'm still so proud of the girl!!

The Babcock family. Notice the fifth member? Yay Emily! Only 2 more weeks until she's officially a Babcock.

She did it!!!

Caitlin and her friend Maureen right after they got their official diplomas.

At the celebratory dinner afterwards. We went to a fabulous Italian restaurant and they surprised Cait with a "congratulations" strawberry and cookie plate.

 

 

 

KJV word ... Concupiscence

Two things you may not know about me ...

1) I am a King James Version girl through and through. I grew up reading the King James and it's my go-to version now. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate other versions (some of them), because I do use them sometimes, but my KJV Bible is the one that gets the most (basically all) the use.

2) I love the 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Love it! It's my favorite dictionary of all time.


Put those two together and what do you have? A Christine that understands what she's reading :) You see, as much as I love the KJV, even I have to admit that sometimes there are words that make absolutely no sense to me. For example - today I was reading in Romans 7 and I came across the word "concupiscence" ... no clue what that means! But all I have to do is take out my handy dandy (heavy!) 1828 Webster's and ta-da! Now I know what the verse says.

So, I thought I'd be helpful to all of you KJVers out there and let you know the meanings of the old English words that we don't use anymore as I come across them. Sound like a plan?


CONCUPISCENCE ...
"Lust; unlawful or irregular desire of sexual pleasure. In a more general sense, the coveting of carnal things, or an irregular appetite for worldly good; inclination for unlawful enjoyments."

(in case you were wondering - this word is in a whopping 3 verses in the Bible - Romans 7:8; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:5)

Look who's blogging!

The plan was to let the blog go, because clearly I'm terrible at it. But I kind of like to blog and I want a place I can write about life from time to time. So let's catch up, and then we'll see if anything gets posted on here ever again ...

Since I last posted ...

* I go to a new church [very interesting considering I was at the last one for 14 years, but I love the new place!]
* I got a new car [it's a 2003 Honda CRV and it's beautiful!]
* I have a new job [the daycare I worked at is closing :( Now I'm a nanny for 2 adorable little people that I LOVE. If I blog more you'll be seeing them often!]

Those are the big things ... the little things will show up in time :)
