Check out Penny Raine’s site for her new eBooks including some yummy recipes that are free. One has LOTS of chocolate. She is limiting the amount of free downloads so it would be [...]

2009. It’s just around the corner. This is a week of lasts. It is the last week of the year. Today is the last Sunday of the year.
Lest we get too maudlin, though, today is also a first day. It is the first day of new lovingkindnesses from the Lord. In fact, Lamentations 3 [...]

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Three names that many people know well, even some who haven’t read a Bible in years. If you don’t recognize their names, you might recognize this phrase – the three men in the fiery furnace! Their story is told in the book of Daniel, which I am currently studying over a [...]

Leaving the house too early yesterday, I wound up listening to a sermon on my iPod instead. I really enjoyed it. There was one point, in particular, that really caught my attention. The pastor talked about preparing to worship before you ever get to church.
