I need a lot of devotional help! Rather than having one daily devotional time, I divide my day into three parts, and three shorter devotions. King David is my example. In Psalm 55:17 he said… “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; and He shall Read more…
Recently, while reading through 2 Kings again, I noticed something I must have passed over in the past. Judah had many kings that did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. The kings would break the covenant that God made with His people, and worship false gods. There Read more…
Ok, I admit it. I like to shop – but it needs to be on sale for me to really bite. DaLee claims it’s my hunting instinct. I can find a clearance rack within 50 yards. If I find something really special, I “buy ahead” for birthdays or even Christmas. Read more…

Psalm 50:14 says “offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High.” Thanksgiving may be the Read more…
The Gospel of John was written… “…So that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” (20:31) John was a master with his words, and there is a reason he wrote the words he did; Read more…
