    I am so glad you are here with me today! If you are reading  the Proverbs with me this month, today we are on Proverbs 1. (Remembering what to read in the Proverbs is as easy as remembering the day’s date when you read them with me.) That being said: Today’s Reading: Proverbs 1 Using the SOAP…

    Good morning sweet friends! I think I’m being nudged to host a Bible in 90 Days read through here again soon. Yes, it’s fast and furious– but it is also deep and lifechanging. And I think I’m being told it is nearly that time again. This morning I hopped on my phone and clicked on…

    Good morning, sweet friends! I am still working my way through Psalms, one Psalm at a time, through mid February. Today I read Psalm 117 and had to stop and share a few thoughts. “Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness…

    This morning, before I launched into my reading, I decided to enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise. I first started praying quietly, thinking of the positive things that happened yesterday and thanking God for them. No, yesterday was not an outstanding day. Actually, it held a lot of exhaustion. But tiny reasons to be…

    Good morning, sweet friends. I was thrilled with the intent of writing to you regularly once again and then, well, life got in the way once again. Tasks mounted. Time slipped. Pressure and frustration grew. I kept reading the Psalms daily, except yesterday. Somehow I missed yesterday. Today, as I opened my journal to begin…

    Good morning from Sicily, sweet friends! As I wrote yesterday, it is lovely to be back in touch. It’s raining right now, which makes me even more thankful I spent some time in the city center yesterday buying a few gifts. Here is what it looked like outside of my door last night with the…

    Hello my sweet friends! I am writing from Sicily… Taormina to be more precise, as I am here on a wine business trip. It’s been a long, action-packed week already which started with a business conference in Verona where I was presenting, moved to one area of Sicily for vineyard and winery visits, and now…

    Well hello there and welcome to Friday! Today’s SOAP reminded me that each and every single one of us was designed for a good reason. Let that sink in a minute. Every single one of us was designed perfectly by our Father for a reason. Now, we do have free will, so we deviate from…

    Hello there, friends! I regret missing you yesterday, but my brain was a bit jumbled and I just wasn’t even sure what to share. I’ve been feeling bad about it, and then today’s SOAP hit me… Scripture But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.”…
