This morning was a typical morning. I got the children off to school for the day. My husband got ready, and then he set off to work for the day. And I began my normal routine for the day.

“Let Us Be Called By Your Name”
During my daily reading, something jumped out at me. I was reading Isaiah on Thursday, which so happens to be the day that I read the prophets in my reading plan.

God is Wise
One of the many attributes that God reveals to us in the Bible is that He is WISE. There is wisdom in His creation, His works, and His ways.

Getting to Know God
What is one to do when we are stuck? Where do we go when we study so much and do so many “good” things that it seems like you are missing something?
