Reading the Bible In One Year

So my New Year's Resolution is reading through the entire Bible in a year.  I've done it before, thanks to my sister who gave me a daily walk Bible in 1987!  My viewpoint then was dramatically different than it is now.  And since the Bible is the LIVING word, I know it is always alive and different according to your life circumstances.  So, I'm going to read through it again.  This time, I'm taking a very studious approach.  I'm going to pray before I start, read the "prescribed" selection according to the date, and then close the book and journal about what my thoughts are, what stands out to me, what it means to me according to what life and the Holy Spirit are guiding me to that day.  I'll be writing my thoughts here in this blog and you are invited to join me.  I hope you will hold me accountable.  I hope you will read and let God guide you through this process as well.  I hope it will be more fun than work!!  It should be at least insightful!  So, Happy New Year and may God Bless Us One and All!!  You in? click here to download.dailybibleguide.com if you are on a PC (not compatible to mac yet)

Does your Thanksgiving Feast get a little out of hand?

Holy Alphabet--thanks to the friend that past this one along!

Elementary school teachers just love alphabet stuff!
Like the alphabet on butterfly wings-(click here to see that)!
And this poem sums up alot as well!

A Holy Alphabet
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y e s, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
