One of the biggest questions I get from others is: “How do you get insights and real application out of the Bible?” I remember when I was younger and the boys were little and my life was hectic, that I KNEW the Bible had the answers, but HOW did I get to them? I could…
One of the main questions people ask me is how I, personally, study the Bible. That’s a big question to answer because about every year I switch it up. Last year I read through the Bible along with my husband using the excellent 5 Day Bible Reading plan. I enjoyed it and that was actually…
A little background to this post: I see what is going on in the world, all around the world, and even here right at home, and honestly, I’m scared. Most of us are. We might be fearful of COVID, or wary of the vaccine, angry at people in power, irritated with our neighbors, friends, or…
Since we are living in a very confusing time in history, and since there’s been a huge increase in people suffering from depression and even suicide, I’m listening to a series of sermons given back in the 1950s by one of my favorite preachers of all time, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

UPDATE 9 YEARS LATER: I started this Bible project on May 3, 2012 and finished summarizing every page on March 25, 2015. There were no great speed records set, I mean it took me three years to read through the entire Bible! But I discovered that reading at a slow pace, and thinking about what…
UPDATE: This is one of my most popular posts of all time, written back in 2014. I am still using a Bible journal, though not as much as I was then, but that is just due to defaulting to being unorganized and forgetful more often than not. Seeing this journal and flipping through it again…
Today I get to share a guest post by Jennifer. We have never met before but she surprised me with such a lovely and encouraging email that I immediately asked her if I could share her experience with all of you.
