How did I miss this???

There are some things that I am good about when I am organizing. Making lists is something that I can easily do. However, reading plans aren’t one of them. And so, I am following a reading plan that has brought me to the book of Ezra in the Bible. Today was the last day, andContinue reading “How did I miss this???”

In the Blink of an Eye

There are so many things to be grateful for and so many things that I have mourned the loss of. One of those major losses that I have mourned in my life is my relationship with my Nona. She was an absolute delight and a major influencer in my life. She was arguably the greatestContinue reading “In the Blink of an Eye”

The Thief on the Cross

Reading the Bible, I come across some things that seem to jump off of the page at me.

Of course, all of the teachings of Jesus are important. However,Continue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6 v. 47″

Let Go of the Weight

Right now, I feel like the weight of so much responsibility is pushing me down through the basement floor into the very depths of the earth itself. I am talking about full on through the crust to the core kind of severity of pushing. It is so heavy that it’s hard to breath. I haveContinue reading “Let Go of the Weight”

The Gospel

I have been reading through the Bible again from Genesis to Revelation. Each year I do this to continue searching for God in all kinds of ways and seeking His character and “heart” in it all. There are just so many things that I learn by the aid of the Holy Spirit each and EVERYContinue reading “The Gospel”

E-mail

Has anyone actually went through all of their emails including advertisements? I don’t mean those that have opened a new account and read the like 5 new emails. I mean an established email account that has been used one various sites. I mean emails that come from “Purple mattress” and “Erin Condren”. I mean onesContinue reading “E-mail”
