About This Blog

This blog was set up to somewhat document our foster parenting journey for friends and family to follow, to network/connect with other foster parents, and to help me process my thoughts on what is happening in our life.  Writing helps me figure out what I'm thinking and brings great clarity to the jumbled mess of thoughts in my brain.

The title, "Pure Religion is This . . .?", was chosen at a time when things felt crazy and we knew God was working in mighty ways to refine us.  It also plays into the fact that I tend to question everything.  I am in no way saying that we have mastered "pure religion."  It's more a chance to document my journey of faith (and sometimes seemingly analyzing myself out of faith). 

The title is based off the verse:
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27  NIV
