For the next 40 Days, one verse from our devotional reading in the book of Philippians will appear as the "blog." After you have spent time with God, meditating (ruminating, mulling, pondering, "pronouncing" the passage write an insight or two in the comment section. This will be a good way to encourage each other!

Also, if you want to read through the Bible chronologically this year you can click on today's date on the right side of this page under the header "Today's Chronological Bible Reading" and you will be taken to the reading. (Please excuse and know that we do not endorse any advertising links that sometimes appear above the date. These ads are automatically uploaded with the RSS feed that gives us the daily reading.) Also, on the right side you will find the link to the One Year Bible Online site. We hope you enjoy getting to know our great God better by interacting with Him through his word! "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

A funny thing happened . . .Friday, Oct 22, 2010

Funny thing happened on the way to the altar today (Alter = practicing the spiritual discipline of connecting with God through reading His word.)   After writing two days ago that I want to spend time with God each day before I watch tv, eat, go online, etc., this morning I totally forgot. Didn't remember till late this afternoon when I went on my computer. I fell asleep on the couch last night and didn't sleep very well all night. I woke this morning to the TV on and just fell into old habits of channel surfing. So, just got to the online reading tonight. But, wow, am I glad I did. It totally pierced me. I must say, I find both parables of Jesus challenging. Far too often, I am like the disciples, wanting position and recognition before Jesus and too often forgetting his great work on my behalf which puts all my "work" in proper perspective. God owes me nothing, but I owe him everything.  Ann
