I miss my little home here on wordpress and so I thought I’d pop on to give a quick update and tell you about some exciting new projects I’ve … Continue reading
This morning, my Bible reading plan took me to Matthew 17. I’m always amazed by the part of this chapter where Jesus pays the Temple tax. I find it interesting that this story is only recorded in the Book of Matthew. Remember, Matthew had been a tax collector himself before Jesus called him into discipleship. … Continue reading

Today, I learned something about the foundational sockets of the Tabernacle that amazed me. My chronological, daily Bible reading plan has me in Exodus. Today’s reading included Exodus 38 which describes the making … Continue reading
