This quote is in the front of this book I just began! Seems perfect for a chilly fall evening in the Texas Panhandle! I‘m not working tonight! Choosing to read something not work related! Yay for me!
Two quotes I love from today‘s reading!
Love this daily devotional book. I‘m hoping to be back more often on Litsy - wrapping up writing my own book and another project that demanded my focus โฆ. I‘ve missed you!

This is a wonderful study that I just started โฆ because I don‘t have enough to do ๐
Epigenetics - our behaviors & environment influence our dna / genesโฆ.. So interesting - my brain prefers this book earlier in the day though.
I still can‘t focus to read โฆ so I‘m listening to this on Scribd as I do other things - the writing and narration on this is absolutely fantastic!
Recovering from loss & pneumonia that just doesn‘t want to go away - trying to get some reading in & a friend had recommended this book - luckily, it‘s on #scribd
Ok this is to make my previous post question clearer #biblebuddyread so what‘s the difference between speaking against Jesus vs speaking against the Holy Spirit?
In MT 12:31 I‘m having a struggle with this verse because clearly I‘ve highlighted this in my Olive Tree Bible before but it didn‘t dawn on me until just now โฆ what is the difference between blasphemy against the Son of Man and the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? #biblebuddyread
Well that‘s a brain thumper right there!
When that new bookazine I wanted was left in cluster box a block away and I am warm and cozy insideโฆ to pick up mail or not to pick up mail.. that is the question ๐
This passage in my daily devotional book .. today went over verses we just read in #biblebuddyread yesterday!! And I love The Message version of this verse! I also love what she said in that last statement at the bottom.
Sermon on the mount โฆ more notes than scripture on these pages - there is just so much to deep dive in these 4 chapters. And yes, I read through 3-4 Bible versions with each daily Bible reading: TPT, MSG, NET, & NLT .. I also will look up some in CEV online as well which is quickly becoming another favorite version. #biblebuddyread
Letting go of all of the should, could, & would‘s of the world, forgive those who‘ve wronged me, & seek the oxymoronic lifestyle of โbold humility.โ Boldness in truth - not boldness for attention. And living a lifestyle of love. #biblebuddyread
Notes on beatitudes โฆ I especially love that she says we are โnot designed for sustainable fame & glory.โ #biblebuddyread
The thing I‘m noticing in my new Bible is when Scripture is quoting Scripture it‘s boldedโฆ. Anyhoo, I think the answer for me to be prepared I must know the Scripture. #biblebuddyread
Oh wow! This is the first time I‘ve encountered maps in this Bible while in the #biblebuddyread oh how I love my new Bible! I read first the Passion Translation in my Olive Tree app .. then I read in this Bible - but I didn‘t get to this part yesterday so I‘m catching up.
I would recommend the tagged bookโฆ and I would go back in time and have conversations with my dad and my brother that I wish I‘d had before they died.

I really connected with Moses desiring to see God‘s presence. It came right after God told Moses that His Presence would go with him. Moses communed with God. He performed miracles. He had an intimate connection to God that no one else had & yet he still wanted to SEE.
For me - to experience the Presence of God daily-so close & intimate, others can see it radiating from within me. Anyone else? #biblebuddyread
#biblebuddyread Today I spent dwelling on the immensity of this journey. I googled what Sinai wilderness looks like - my Sunday school teachers always used the word โdesertโ instead of wilderness which conjured up a completely different image and I never understood how a mountain where God met Moses for the 10 Commandments was in the middle of drifting sand dunes of my imagined desert. So much came up for me today.
I love this daily devotional so much - always exactly what I need to hear.

It‘s a good day for reading and study. I have questions in #biblebuddyread All of the fabric / linen, fine jewels, ๐ซ olive oil, acacia wood, goldโฆ Where did this come from? Ok the jewels were probably what Israelites got from Egyptians before leavingโฆ But are they really wandering in the wilderness ๐ carrying all of these things? Then I consider the arc and think: They are literally putting God in a box ๐ ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

The Question:
What if we looked at the things we see wrong in the world with empathy, dug below the surface of people‘s disappointing actions to experience their pain, and understood hurtful words as a cry for consolation? What if we responded with sorrow instead of outrage, and love instead of hate?

2. I don‘t read many of them; but I don‘t avoid them either. If I‘m pressed for time I get the audio version and listen to it while traveling or going about my day. This tagged book for example - i rated it so-so โฆ had it been shorter it probably would have been a pick - but I did get super bored in places.
I‘d you‘re reading this consider yourself tagged! #Two4Tuesday
This is so true. She actually talks about the story of Joseph and his brothers deciding to sell him. And how that led to the entire nation of Israel being enslaved by the Egyptians. We just discussed this recently in #Biblebuddyread
#biblebuddyread The trouble with Sunday School is that I got bits and pieces of stories - and repeated many times over the course of my lifetime - from classes and sermons - and I missed out on so much that wasn‘t ever covered. I also have confusing timelines of what happened when & where. I just thought Mt Sinai was 10 commandments- not all of the rest of this! ๐
I absolutely love this devotional book!
I love this so much. This whole reading today was about how we don‘t do this alone. We need our people to step in and hold up our hands for us when we can‘t. We need to delegate work to others to leave us in our zones. #biblebuddyread
I love this Bible so much! Their devotionals are so thought provoking! #biblebuddyread
Where in your life has God parted the way in front of you when there seemed to be no way? Where did he destroy the enemies that pursued you or obstacles to your journey? #biblebuddyread picture kind of blurry but don‘t want to take it again ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Exodus 14:14 I‘m reading first from The Message version today in my Olive Tree app. This verse jumped off the page and grabbed me by the collar and shook me to get my attention ๐ I need to post this somewhere I can see it every day! #biblebuddyread
#Biblebuddyread This is something that fascinates me and I would love to hear your input!
This is my second time through this book. This is what I give to friends who are struggling or dealing with grief. It‘s such a blessing!
#biblebuddyread yes, I read through it twice - once in olive tree app and once in my LGG bible.
#biblebuddyread .. from Exodus 6 NLT .. I will free you. I will rescue you. I will redeem you. I will claim you. ..
I am free. I am rescued. I am redeemed. I am HIS!

I chose this because my family loves most one dish dinners & I wanted to shake up other dinner time!
When I saw this cookbook in NetGalley, I was immediately drawn to it. My expectations were exceeded! I plan to order a hard copy of this book for my kitchen.

Ooh I love this challenge! So today, burnish bush is definitely one. I also think that Moses escaping death as a baby - God had a hand in that as well. Will consider what these say about God‘s character. #biblebuddyread
pickFinIshed the book of Genesis today with the #BibleBuddyRead and I just love the Passion Translation. I can‘t wait until all of the Old Testament is available in this translation! I have everything that‘s available so far. The big aha for me in the reading today is that Joseph was responsible for the Israelites slavery - though it was to save their lives. I never had made that connection before.
