The Joy Set Before Him

When it comes to reading the Bible, in general, I’m an NIV girl. (That’s the New International Version, for all you non-jargonized readers. And, by the way, if you are among the non-jargonized, I’m over the moon delighted you’re here, reading this. Welcome!) I tend to go for the NIV because it was presented to …

Why We Missed It

What do you look for in a leader? Does that question bring an image to your mind? Maybe an image of a great American president that you have admired? Someone with a keen intellect?

Stumped About Your Future?

OK, I am totally loving the title I chose for today! Hopefully, by the end of this post, you’ll understand why. In the Bible Study I have been participating in, we have been studying the book of Isaiah, and every once in a while, I like to share a few of the nuggets I’ve gained …

What Isaiah Saw

Fall has come to the Boonies. Pretty glorious, huh? Wish you could be here to see it! And speaking of seeing glorious things…. (not a GREAT segue, but the best I can come up with to go with the pretty picture….and you know…I’ve been doing a study in the book of Isaiah, and sharing some …
