They Did What Was Right in Their Own Eyes

Each year, I listen to a daily audio Bible podcast—and complete the Bible in one year. This year marks my sixth year through the Bible.

Why don’t I stop?

Every year, I learn new aspects of the Bible because each year, I am in a different place in my life, and the Holy Spirit speaks to me where I am.

The Bible is always fresh! It is always alive!

It is the only book that has a Living Spirit within it.

Each year, when I get to Judges in the Old Testament, I say, “Oh boy!” because I know what is ahead.

She did not get that gene from me.

But, I appreciate it. And, I can see how it is reflective of God.

How is that?

Finding Contentment in Good Times and Times of Need

The internet is an amazing place.

At the press of a button and just a few clicks, images from our family and friends, from our church and our community, from our nation and the entire world, flood in.

Happy images of babies and grandmas, of puppies and cows, of rich food and lovely sunsets.

Those have not been the images on display this week.

War.

Unprovoked war.

Fear.

Death.
