Psalm Challenge Begins

Okay girls...open your Bibles to the Book of Psalms...

Take the challenge: Read through the Book of Psalms with us!

God will reveal Himself to us as well as show us how to respond to Him.

Here's how we will approach the book.

First, we'll read one psalm per week in a couple of translations.

Next, we'll discover it by looking for all of the good stuff in it!

(emotions, how the writer describes God, what we learn about God,

any confusing or repetitive words or ideas, how it relates to our life

experiences...)

Finally, we fill write our own psalm to God. It might look somewhat like the psalm or completely different. We're just going to be honest with our God.

This is very close to the way Beth Moore teaches how to study the psalms of Ascent so I want to give her credit!

It would be really cool if we used the comment section to share our journey through the psalms.

Okay, read, discover, write!

Who's up for the challenge?

Birthday Fun!



My kids and husband made my birthday so special. A wonderful dinner, lots of goodies and a flower cake! I almost got the delivery guy arrested though when he delivered the flowers. I thought he was trying to break into the house so I called the constable. It was truly a comedy of errors and I doubt if that guy will ever be the same! The day was crazy with the opening of Super kids camp and preparing for hurricane Edouard which never really landed. Thanks everyone for thinking of me! 54 and getting younger!

Look what God made!


Thanks, Cousin Alan, for not "neglecting your gifts" and for capturing this breathtaking view of the Rockies. Speaking of gifts, my younger friend, Jacob, can preach! I'm still "chewing" on the word he gave last Sunday. He recounted his demanding experience of climbing Pike's Peak and his growing frustration as a 45 year old passed him by several times. Jacob shared God's word to him when he finally reached the top: 'You think the 45 year old has accomplished something? Look out and see what I created! Now that's an accomplishment!' He reminded us that God isn't impressed with our accomplishments, but is more concerned with our desire to have relationship with Him as well as glorify Him. I'm always struggling with this desire to accomplish something of importance. What a word of wisdom for me.

My young friends are teaching me everyday. They bring refreshing insight as I journey with my Lord. My encouragement to you today......

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." I Timothy 4:12......

Use your gifts today!
