Reading Through the Bible in a Year

Details: Category: Blog; Published: Tuesday, 04 January 2011 15:03

Everywhere I look I’m seeing guides, tips, & tricks to reading through the whole Bible in 2011. The basics are that we are all different, we all communicate with God differently & we all need to find our own reading style. These insights are great encouragers however if you get so caught up in finding the right plan or trick that your style ends up being a no reading plan than you’re in trouble. It’s so easy to be focused on doing something the best way that we miss out on the journey.

No Ordinary Night

Details: Category: Blog; Published: Friday, 24 December 2010 07:01

stars An ordinary night with ordinary sheep and ordinary shepherds. And were it not for a God who loves to hook an “extra” on the front of ordinary, the night would have gone unnoticed. The sheep would have been forgotten, and the shepherds would have slept the night away.
