“He has brought me to his banquet hall and his banner over me is love“ (Song of Solomon 2:4). I used to laugh my way through the verse above, looking forward to the day when I would dine with Christ in Glory! Oh, the chocolate and the scones! We’d have tea, taken sweet with heavy …
While quotes directly from the Bible are always best, quotes about the Bible can inspire us to pick it up, open it up, and feast on it as well! To celebrate the launch of The 40-Day Feast, a daily devotional all about feasting on God’s sweet and satisfying Word, here are 100 of my favorite …
This spring I logged offline for 40 undistracted days. Because I wasn’t distracted by social media, I was able to be devoted to my real-life “friends.” I also had plenty of time to enjoy gardening, neighborhood walks, country drives with my husband, and family dinners. I also read some excellent book! Here are the top ten books I read or gave away during my 40 Day Social Media Fast.
Whether you are celebrating this as a win or consider it a tremendous loss, find your peace in the knowledge that God establishes kings and kingdoms.

While I don’t want to minimize the deeply tragic effects this pandemic has had on many, and will continue to have on many more, I sense that The Lord is redeeming the days as we endure them. Though the global economy will surely suffer, God’s economy is on the rise. God values family. While we value our families too, the reality is that many of us have been too busy to invest in them as we should. We have all the time in the world to pour into our families now.
