  • Bible 180: Week 18 & Praying for the Unreached

    Whew! Last week’s reading was TOUGH! There was so much sadness, so much strife. It made me truly thankful for knowing Jesus Christ, for knowing forgiveness and mercy and grace. Living during that time, or living at any time without knowing Christ would be really, really awful. Can you imagine struggling with such awful times,…

  • Bible 180: Week 17- Return to Him

    Welcome to week 17! Whew! I don’t know how you felt but, to me, Isaiah was A LOT to read. There was a lot of yuckiness, but one strand that kept it all hopeful for me was the echoing refrain of returning to Him, of redemption. Looking back over my notes for the week, I…

  • Bible 180, Week 16

    Welcome, dear readers! Whew! Isaiah is not easy reading… at least not for me. I love reading joy, happiness, and wisdom… and this held lots of doom and gloom and struggle. Ouch. It made me so thankful for eternity with Christ, though, that is for sure. I didn’t take many notes as I was reading.…

  • Week 15 of Bible 180: Y’ALL! We hit Day 100 this week!

  • Week 14 of Bible 180– So many ways to pray!

    Hello and welcome to Week 14 of Bible 180. We are more than halfway through this session of reading the Bible cover to cover together. How exciting is that? We are more than knee deep in the Psalms, and this week we will cross over into not only Proverbs but also Ecclesiastes. Whew! One of…

    Hello, sweet friends! Happy Week 12 to you! Can I just say (again) that I love the pace at which we are reading? I hope it is working for you, because it is certainly working for me. I am hearing SO SO much. Last week’s reading had so much beauty in it. I loved the…

  • Week 11 of Bible 180– How’s your routine?

    Hello there, my Bible 180 friends. For those of you who are early morning readers, thank you for your patience as I am posting a bit later than typical.

    WOW! Week 10! Today we launch in to the tenth week of reading the Bible together daily. Today is our 64th day IN A ROW to take time not only to pray and listen to our Father, but also to take time to dive into His Word, to read His gift to us. Whether you…

  • Daily SOAP & Positive Parenting from King David: Speak Truth

    I’m reading 1 Chronicles right now. Sometimes the reading can be dry and filled with lists, and yet it also has lots of gorgeous nuggets tucked in there for us to discover in the stories. Today I found some solid gold and SOAP from King David to share: Scripture: 1 Chronicles 22:11-13 “Now, my son,…

    Grace day, coming right up! I’ve noticed some beautiful resolve in our group. A few of you seem to to be slipping behind, but determined to keep reading. I love that you are sticking to the reading and I love your honesty in checking in and letting us know how you are doing, even if…

  • Week 8 of Bible 180 and Rest

    Hello, sweet readers! Over the last few weeks I have really been TRYING to rest on Sundays, honoring it as a Sabbath. I avoid checking work emails, working on work and try to just relax, which isn’t all that easy. Yesterday, though, I think I might have finally mastered it. There was exercise, church online,…

  • Week 7 of Bible 180– Wherever you may be in the reading :)

    Hello, sweet friends! WOW! Can you believe how far we have made it into the Bible together? I know some of you are right on track with our reading schedule and some of you are a bit behind… But the beautiful thing I see is that we are all in the Word, His Word, together.…

  • Week 6 of Bible 180: They’re IN!

    After many plagues and wandering, and the Israelites made it into the promised land, the land they were told would be theirs long before they actually took it. So much wandering. So much waiting. And then, as they were getting ready to REALLY go, this week we kept reading “Be strong and courageous,” “Love the…

  • Bible 180- Week 5, How is this reading length for you?

    Welcome back sweet friends! I loved reading how you are reading the Bible each day… it was fun to see how we are all finding time in different ways.. some listening, some reading paper, some with apps, some doing combos in several ways, all of us taking His Word in together, all over the place.…
