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 …
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 …
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 …

A New Year, A New Plan
I realize that it is January 8th, and I have yet to post anything here about the new year. I apologize. We have been facing unusual circumstances in our family, and it has left me out of sync. But not when it comes to my personal devotions. I’ve been reading God’s Word each year for …
10 Reasons You Should Memorize Scripture
I recently read an excellent article on the importance of Bible memorization. To be honest, I have not purposed to practice this discipline. But after reading this article, I’m compelled to do so, not from guilt but for my good. I encourage you to read it for yourself and see if it has the same …
First National Bank of The Grace Of God
On any road trip it’s always good to have enough money to pay for your expenses. This is what keeps you going–literally. Without cash we stay home! Or we look for our bank along the way to make a needed withdrawal. What about our journey on this ancient road? Where are the banks, so to …
