I travel quite a bit for work and play. Since we started Proverbs this month, I’ve already been on two trips, with another set for tomorrow. To keep myself up to date in my reading, I most often read my daily devotional reading on my phone with the Crossway ESV Bible from the App Store.

Memories to Share: August- Memories 35-40
Here we are already back in August. I started thinking about this series last August when my grandmother passed away at age 90 and now, as I type, my mom is likely in her car, driving to visit her aunt, my grandmother’s sister, in her last days. Auntie Ruth is 101 years of age. In…

Daily Devotion: 31 Days in Proverbs: Day 1

A little perspective on who might be around you
Wondering why the person next to you is scowling rather than smiling? Sometimes, when someone isn’t all that polite to you, do you scowl back, or extend love? This training video from Chick-fil-A might remind you to stop and consider what the person in front of you is facing. It’s certainly been a big reminder…

It’s the 21st… And so I’m reading Proverbs 21
Jumping right into the Proverbs a few days ago has been a great way to pull me back into daily time with my Father. It’s been a challenge finding that ONE scripture from the reading to meditate on each day, however reading has still been extremely worthwhile.
