Beautiful Creation by Nancy J. Farrier
Many years ago, I was tasked with getting a Christmas gift for a person I hadn’t shopped for before. I gave the gift a lot of thought. This person didn’t like any clothing that wasn’t cotton and they preferred neutral … Continue reading
The Steady, Plodding Donkey by Delores Topliff
I’m writing about donkeys today, seen frequently all over Israel—entering Jerusalem’s Old City gates and/or traveling networks of roads and trails everywhere—quiet, unassuming, but getting work done. In scripture, a donkey saved the prophet Balaam from the angel messenger’s sword … Continue reading
Worship Who? by Nancy J. Farrier

A Gentle Whisper by Bridget A. Thomas
There is a Bible story that I love which you might be familiar with. In 1 Kings 19 the prophet Elijah had fled and hid in a cave due to a death threat from Queen Jezebel. The Lord said, “Go out and … Continue reading
As Many as it Takes by Julie Arduini
As I’ve shared before, during this time at home I’ve been using a Bible in a year reading plan with a new Bible. I’ve nearly worn out a new set of highlighters and have been floored by revelations that were … Continue reading
