Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.

And so God promised to bring … Continue reading A Marriage Renewed
Do You Feel What God Feels?
Forward: There exists a difference of opinion and beliefs among the Bible commentators of old as to whether or not this is to be taken literally or figuratively. I don’t think we can resolve that issue. So the best we can do is to learn from it the lesson that God has for us to … Continue reading Do You Feel What God Feels?

As Did Daniel
Friday, April 26, 2013, 6:37 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “Nothing Can Separate Us” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 6 in the NIV.
