The Other Side…

December 31, 2008

Sometimes life can be daunting…there is much that is unknown…unseen…uncharted. 
There have been times in the last year where I have looked into the future and it seemed just that…daunting.
There were areas of struggle that didn’t seem to diminish…at times intensified…and when the pressure let up…the struggle was still present…seemingly untouched…
My scripture for almost two years [...]

Reflections…

December 29, 2008

 
Looking back and gazing ahead…
There were goals that I set for the past year…some of them were here…and I just looked at the list…in my recollection, I thought I bombed…but in actuality, only 3 didn’t happen…I just read 3 of the series of 7 books…I now have arthritis in not one but both knees and [...]

*Better* + Addendum…

December 28, 2008

Wow…how did we get to the end of the year…even more amazing to me is the “end” of Cover to Cover…seriously, I don’t know how to do a final post…in fact, the readings still go until Wednesday.  I think I will just do a couple of posts over the next day or so that will [...]

Most of the area did not have [...]

Angels…

December 8, 2008

I am writing this post on Monday although it will probably be read on Tuesday.

I don’t know if I would have made it this far in reading through the Bible chronologically if it were not for Bev and the cover to [...]

Top Ten…

Note: This is a seriously long post…most of it is scripture…which is a good thing…just wanted you to be forewarned.  You are welcome to take it in bite sized pieces…which means you can visit me lots and lots this week.  If you are scared…then click here and see a beautiful example of God’s goodness and creativity.

A Day=God’s Goodness

December 6, 2008

“What would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring.
Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.”
Psalm 27: 13-14 [...]
