Devotional Day #23
Today’s topic was bringing Us to God. I love these Greek words and the meanings that clarifies some of the terms and words used. The phrase monogenes is what Angela is talking about in the beginning of this lesson. A misunderstanding and confusion of a root word. So monos means only and gennao to beget,…

Devotional Day #22
Sin is an issue every one of us has to deal with. Christ manifesting our sin for us on the cross is still a mind blowing thought. Angela brought out the night at Gethsemane with a new perspective to me. Christ sweated drops of blood that fell to the ground. Her thoughts on this make…

Devotional Catch-Up Again
Wow so because of some Christmas excursions and appointments and life I am putting these together. Both are heavy topics. None of the Herod’s in the Bible were any good, but this particular one is despicable in so many ways. Although Herod Antipas beheading John the Baptist is in the same atrociousness. Back to this…

Devotional Day # 19 Closer to Christmas Each Day
Today the topics are the Shepherds and the Angels. I was just as amazed that Israelites in the year Christ was born had really very few sheep. There were so many mentions of lambs and sheep and their shepherds in scripture. Shepherds were the poor of the social ladder yet the news of Christ’s birth…

Wow! It’s Day 18
Joseph, like Mary, had a unique role in Christ’s birth story. He knew he wasn’t the father of Mary’s child, but he listened and believed the Angel in his dream. Can you imagine taking on that responsibility knowing your adopted child was the Messiah? I love learning these Greek words and their meanings. So we…

Star of Wonder Day #17
The young maiden chosen by God was humble. A lot has been taught about Mary through the generations and years since. Her name according to Ms. Hunt like many is Miriam and was named for the original Miriam from Exodus Moses’ older sister the prophetess. I love this detail: the name either comes from the…

Day #16
The forerunner of Christ is how I have always heard him described as being. Today Ms. Hunt also characterizes him as a herald. What things that would happen to John would also happen to Christ himself. John knew why he was here though. Some people don’t understand their purpose as fully as he did. He…

Day 15 Star of Wonder
She most definitely delivered an uplifting lesson today. How incredible to be the first human being that God sends His angel to after the 400 Silent Years? Instead though, Zechariah like Sara, back in Genesis at her old age didn’t know how to believe what was said. Why do we tend to see with our…

Devotion Day #14
Today’s topic is the Maccabbees, Mattathias was tested by a Seleucid official to eat pork a restrictedfood for the Jews and to make an offereing to a pagan god. This man killed the representative making a bold stance and emboldening his 5 sons to do likewise and take up the side of righteousness. Judah was…

Quality Time
Three hours difference makes having quality time to talk, hopeless, at times. There are little gifts of grace from God that Bryan and I are able to connect and converse. We both have tendencies to start a conversation then something grabs our attention accidentally or work comes calling to us in different ways. We have…
