I’m nearing the completion of reading through my Day by Day Chronological Bible. I shared a few thoughts about this Bible here. It’s taken me nearly three years to get through, for life happens, and I’m easily distracted, especially when a pandemic unsettles our world. Rather than race through like a rabbit, I have continuedContinue reading “Not There Yet”

It is amazing to know JesusContinue reading “The Savior’s Longest Prayer—part 3”
