I'm sipping my mocha, which stays warm on this little warmer-thingy my hubby got me for Christmas—such a thoughtful gift!...

On mornings like that, time easily slips by without time alone with Jesus.When that happens to me, I'm irritable, and things in my day fall apart.

Hello Reader, January was such a cold month and I'm looking forward to February hoping it will warm up slightly. When we hope, we're looking forward to something we cannot yet see.

That's why I'm so excited about this year's February's Bible Reading Plan! I've shared the Love Bible Reading Challenge for the past eight years with several revisions. This is...
