Thanksgiving for 2014
I normally follow a pattern of reading my Bible that divides it into 5 sections: history, poetry, prophecy, NT history, and epistles. If I’m trying to get through it in a year that means reading 2 chapters of history, one of poetry, one of prophecy, and one of either NT history or epistles five days […]
All Caught Up
I just added the page Devotions 71-80. This brings my devotions all posted up to the present time. From now on a new devotion will be here as a blog post and added to subsequent pages of devotions as well. It feels good to be caught up. It feels like I’m able now to communicate […]
I’m On a Roll
I’ve been busy, busy, busy today. Completed another full page of devotions…Devotions 61-70. I also made these delicious looking buns…and they taste just as wonderful as they look 🙂 It’s my mom’s recipe for yellow buns. They can be made like dinner rolls or sandwich style like these. I hope you will read the devotionals, […]
Another Devotional Page
Are you ready for more devotionals? There is a new page ready…Devotions 51-60. Make sure you read the verses so God can speak directly to you!

There is a link to my book available from Blurb off to the right hand side of my blog. I hope you find these helpful and that they speak to your heart. […]

GRACE OVER PERFORMANCE
A few days ago I read an interview with the grandson of Billy Graham, TullianTchividjian. He’s written a book named “One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World”. I’m putting a link to the article here http://jonathanmerritt.religionnews.com/2013/10/02/tullian-tchividjian/ The interview focused on the failure of the church to share the good news of grace in […]
GOOD IS COMING
I added a quote to my quote page the other day. It goes like this: “Yet I believe that good is coming to me–that good is always coming; though few have at all times the simplicity and the courage to believe it. What we call evil, is the only and best shape, which, for the […]
