April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 103: Play to win. “He is the strong runner who, favored to win in his race, is eager to face his challenge.” Psalm 19:5b “Skip her, mom,” my oldest daughter suggested …annoyed at her little sister’s jitters. “She’s not paying attention! Skip her!” Monopoly is my favorite board-game, and I’ve been eagerly waiting for […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 101: Healing layers. “You wrapped it in a gown of waters— ancient mountains under layers of sky.” Psalm 104:6 I once needed a magical solution to cure all aches and “bleedy” boo-boo’s.

God has also placed in our minds a sense of eternity; we look back on the past and ponder over the future, […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 96: Streaked in it. “ Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other children because he came along when he was an old man. So Israel presented Joseph with a special robe he had made for him—a spectacularly colorful robe with long sleeves in it.” Genesis 37:3 Long sleeves …as someone who […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 95: Ever present. “Whenever I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” John 9:5 Lately, I’ve been waiting on the light to walk. I used to be a lot braver about getting out for some exercise in the hours before sunrise, but now I’d much rather wait […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 94: Never really good-bye. “ So we do not set our sights on the things we can see with our eyes. All of that is fleeting; it will eventually fade away.
