• 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…

• Cleaning Time Finds

  Monday when I began cleaning up a literal storm I found a few things. Some clothes I forgot existed and some odds and ends hiding in various corners of boxes. It was kind of funny, but nice to find some things I realized I really missed and needed. Cross-Stitch was not just busybody work for…

• Star Of Wonder

  Egypt is a special place for God, Adonai. Ms. Hunt again has done her research and 3 times Egypt came to Israel’s rescue in Bible Times. Of course this third time was centuries after Moses happened to the royal family and the Red Sea miracle. All of those events were long gone and written into…

• Day #5

  The topic today is the Temple. The angle she mentioned from a woman needing to purify herself by paying for the offering of 2 turtledoves and pigeons. Childbirth was different in many ways and simpler compared to the hospital settings nowadays. Oral history was a tradition for the Jews and the verse in Genesis 3:15…

• Day #4

  Today’s topic in the Book Discussion was about the Eastern Kingdom. We know the story of the Nativity, but this is so intriguing to read. Angela even mentions a comment her Rabbi has mentioned. What if the magi who actually visited Christ could have been Jewish? His thoughts were based on the exile of the…

• Devotional Day 3

  Over the years I have learned some very compelling facts of the Christmas Nativity. There are different authors I have read and various Preachers who have had highlighted aspects not usually in the telling of the story. The past 3 days have already been so enlightening. Ms. Hunt has so much knowledge and is sharing…

• A Purpose

  All week I have been experiencing some lows personally. It is a fact of life that we will have difficulties that accompany the highs and victories of life. I know this all too well having dealt with Bipolar in my family. It doesn’t take a diagnosis to know when someone is depressed. After a while…

• Insufficiently Little

  It is said that one should forgive as many times as 70 times 70. How many times should one take the excuses from a person not legally wed? Is it not enough to be Christian to believe things happen for distinct reasons no matter how deluded the aftermath is? Life is not easy, the Bible…
