• Does Blogging Make A Difference?

  For 3/4 of a year I have written articles on various topics. Current events, personal events, my hobbies and especially my passions of music and history including Bible history. We live in a time where morals are upside-down quite literally. Women cannot define themselves and it seems to be a fact now that men can…

• A Blank Canvas

  When I look at a new piece of Aida Cloth straight from the store it’s a blank canvas. I can make whatever I put in my head to make on that piece of cloth; providing I know what I am doing. Sometimes picking only one design is the hardest part for me. Fortunately for me…

• What is the greatest gift someone could give you?-Writing Prompt

  Well considering we just celebrated Christmas I would have to say God’s gift to us. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Christ was and is the greatest gift that could be given to us.…

• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• 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…

• 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…
