Though the Fig Tree Does Not Bud {Habakkuk Bible Study}
The words were beautiful.They spoke of such hope. Of deep faithfulness. Of choosing gratitude, despite.Perhaps they resonated because of my perchance to wince and complain, grumble and frown. The dishes had stacked up. While my back was turned. I’d only left the kitchen to lay wooden track in place and help my little son arrange […]

What fun! A farm-y board book complete with razzle-dazzle lettering in the title, lift-the-flaps, and funny animal capers!

Read a Bit {Good Man}
When I spied this title as a Baker Books review, I was glad to sign up for a review copy. The book Different, by Sally Clarkson and Nathan Clarkson, was an interesting and eye-opening read for me. I believe we all have our struggles in life and some prove more challenging than others. I also […]

It gives a Bible passage to read, followed by a devotional page. Each day is completed with two pages to journal prayers. Beth Moore uses a P.R.A.I.S.E. […]

Are you finding yourself reading more or less during these Quarantine/PhysicalDistancing/StayAtHome days we find ourselves living in? I can’t decide quite. In some ways, I am.
