Greetings! BlogFam, My heart is heavy as I write this post. On my mind are the recent reports in the news informing us of the senseless murders at a grocery store and in a synagogue and bomb threats coming through the mail. It really makes no sense to me how someone's heart can be so filled with hate that they can plan or spontaneously kill another human being. I do not get it. But for years, the only way I have been able to attempt to wrap my mind around it is by naming these acts as actions of the unredeemed. |

Greetings! BlogFam, Check out this verse: Throw all your anxiety onto him, because he cares about you. [1 Peter 5:7 CEB]
I wonder how many of us would be less stressed if we actually applied this scripture to our lives.
Think about it. How many hairs might not be grey or ulcers unformed or weight not gained if we followed the advice of this verse?
I am just throwing it out there for your consideration because maybe it is time for all of us to re-consider the paths we are on, the loads we are carrying, the priorities we think we have to manage. |

BEFORE YOU - JEREMIAH 1:5
Greetings! BlogFam,
"Before I created you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart; I made you a prophet to the nations." [Jeremiah 1:5 CEB]
Before you birds were singing before you trees were growing before you the world was made before you the animals were named before you there was a lot that happened before you
before you Sojourner led before you Douglass wrote before you bodies were lynched before you justice was cinched before you there was a lot that happened |

Greetings! BlogFam, Our verse
for today seems pretty straightforward. Train
children in the way they should go; when they grow old, they won’t depart from
it. [Proverbs 22:6]
I am sure
that you have heard this verse spoken when a child, particular a child under
the age of 18, is either exhibiting exemplary behavior or when they need to be
disciplined. This verse has been quoted
time and time again to inform, advise, or remind those who have children in
their care of the importance of training children up in such a way that
develops them into positive, productive citizens and even faithful followers of
God. |

Greetings! BlogFam, I have a question. My question is this: How would you summarize your life in God, your spirituality, your way of being in this world? This question asks for YOU to summarize YOUR own perspective. I am quite curious as to how you might reply to such a question. I can only imagine that there would be a variety of words and phrases used to summarize our individual responses to this question. And given the massive content of the Bible, I am sure that whatever answer you provide could be "right. |
