Jeremiah Preached the Gospel

I’ve been reading through Jeremiah, alternating with Hebrews, as part of my Bible-in-a-year reading schedule. I’m up to chapter 23 of Jeremiah, but I kept thinking about chapter 17. So I went back and re-read chapter 17 the other night. As I read through it, I...

To Post-a-Day or Not to Post-a-Day

Last week I was fairly seriously contemplating giving myself a post-a-day 2015 challenge. I’ve done it before in 2011 and was extremely blessed by the experience. For awhile it seemed like a great idea to do it again. I know that when I post more...

Perseverance – My Tuesday Three

Opening Gifts

Today is Christmas Day! Hallelujah! It is a wonderful day of celebration and great joy! I’ve been thinking today about gifts, wrapped and opened. (Well, technically I was thinking about it yesterday when I wrote this and scheduled it to post). Sometimes a gift is...

Silent Night, Holy Night

Tonight is Christmas Eve. It is the night of one of my favorite church services of the year because we get to sing Silent Night at our candlelight service. The growing glow of candlelight as each person lights the candle of the person next to...
