It’s nearly Summer when many of us will hit the road to discover new places and make new memories. We’ve been on a road trip of sorts, all year long. It’s on The Ancient Road following the Bible as our guide. We have read accounts of the faithful and the unfaithful. We have seen glimpses …

Happy Mother’s Day
Today is a day set aside to love, remember and bless the Mom who willing gave us life. We may not all be mothers, but we all have one. I’m thinking today of those moms in the Bible who have inspired me. What an example of faith they are by exhibiting trust and hope in …
When You Don’t Understand
This morning in my quiet time I began with a heavy heart. Have you been there recently? I read all the assigned reading and still felt discouraged. Much of what I read, especially in Leviticus, I don’t like nor understand. Honestly I skipped a couple of chapters last week. I also lost my favorite earrings …
Silent Saturday
This was in my devotions this week in the You Version app—It Is Finished, by Samantha Hanni. I had to share it hoping it lifts your eyes, as it has mine, on this day between trauma and deliverance. The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve come to realize the gravity of Silent Saturday. The immediate …
Bigger Than It Appears
I’ll never forget the first time Tom and I had the chance to go to the Northwest. We were in-flight when the pilot told us that we would be passing Mt. Rainier and to watch out our window for the spectacular view. There were other mountains below, and I kept thinking…is that it? Is that …
Devotional Salt
I recently made some bread, which is one of my favorite things to do. However, this time something was missing. The bread tasted flat. I remembered in all the cooking shows I enjoy that most likely the missing ingredient is salt. I wasn’t sure, but what could it hurt? After a few sprinkles on the …
Boasting in Weaknesses
In our daily plan we read today of Paul taking the part of a fool by boasting about his qualifications “as a madman”. In 2 Corinthians 11:30 he shares a revelation… “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.” ESV This hits home to me today. Our family has …
Keep Going
We are at the point where falling behind in our daily Bible reading is most likely. We are human and sticking to anything daily is difficult. But God. He loves to help us in our weakness to do what we can’t on our own. Talk to Him. Ask Him to help you, but more importantly—ask …
Fresh Application
This week I will share something God showed me through one of my daily readings. I love that Luke repeats the genealogy of Jesus that Matthew did in his gospel. I am reminded that Christ came through many broken stories—like Tamar being treated so wrongly by her father-in-law. God gave her honor by putting her …
Trust The Recipe
Today I share a helpful post by my blogging friend, Michele Morin. She offers a metaphor I won’t soon forget and I hope you won’t either. Happy Sunday! Bread dough the color of molasses yielded to the pressure of my working fist. Fold, press, turn, repeat, and soon I lost count of how many times …
