My Robinson family is full of preachers. My father-in-law is a pastor in South Carolina, my brother-in-law, Jeff, is a pastor in Virgina and as most of you know, my husband, Josh, is a student pastor here in Alabama.

What many don't realize is that the youngest brother, Justin, is a preacher as well. He may not stand behind a pulpit on Sundays or Wednesdays, but he is preaching the Word through inspiring videos and short films. Today he posted his newest film, "Job Description." It touches on a big issue in today's culture that is rarely addressed - men standing up in defense of women. 

I don't want to ruin the film for you, so please watch it for yourself below. But as a woman, it encourages me to see men that are willing to take on the role of being the protector. And to know they are in my family is an even greater encouragement. :)

Also, be sure and watch the video below as Justin shares the story behind making this film.

 Story Behind "Job Description"

I have a new toy. It came at just the right time too. My husband is on a "man trip" to the Keys, so I'm home alone for Labor day weekend.

Well, technically I'm not alone. Thanks to my new gadget, I can video chat with my family and friends. And some sweet girls in our youth group were willing to come over and keep me company! :)

I hope you all are having a beautiful weekend and enjoy the extra day of rest!

p.s. all you iPhone users feel free to leave me a comment with your favorite app that i MUST download. :)

I got an invitation to join Pinterest today! I had seen things around the web, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was all about. Turns out it's a nifty way to discover cute new things. I would say the biggest draws for this site would be the fashion, decorating and photography aspects (so when my husband leaned over and asked about it, I told him he probably wouldn't be interested). For now, my "feed" is filled with girl friends who are going crazy with their imaginations. I love it! I wonder if this is our first legitimately, all-exclusive, female social network? :) There are a few things that have already gotten me inspired.

1. grab some cotton t-shirts you don’t wear anymore. larger sizes tend to work better as do non-ribbed shirts with no side seams. small logos on the shirts work fine, too. 2. grab a pair of fabric scissors if you have them, otherwise any scissors will do. 3. lay the shirt out on a flat table in front of you. 4. cut the hem off the bottom and put it aside. 5. cut the shirt into 1-1 1/2 ” horizontal strips all the way up to the armpit. 6. grab 3-4 shirt strips in both hands, and gently stretch them out. the strips will naturally curl into themselves. 7. once you have done this with many of the strips, it is time to get creative. try draping them, wrapping one end with excess fabric, combining colors, braiding them, attaching beads, pins, old jewelry, etc.

So what do you think? Are you addicted to Pinterest? Are you still awaiting an invite? Or do you find all of this just a tad too indulgent?
