Psalm 119:140 (NLT), "Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much." Thursday... Life has its distractions, doesn't it? I was sitting here at my computer and I did what I was suppose to do to connect with where I write and it wasn't connecting but then a choice popped up on my screen and one of the choices was wait so I pushed that option and here we are. Yes life has its distractions. In Psalm 119 the writer says in verse 148, "I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promises" and that is definitely a distraction but as it says we can use it to wait and dwell on God's promises. And verse 140 says, "Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much." Yes, we can use those distractions. Proverbs 3:24-26 says, "You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, both the

Psalm 119:105 (New Living Translation), "Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path." Wednesday... Such a tremendous blessing and it needs to be shared. Both of my parents were Christians. They are both now in heaven and both of those facts have and are a tremendous blessing to me, especially their sharing with me the Bible.   Today's highlighted verse was one of many verses in the Bible that my mom had me memorized as a child. That was a definite blessing for me and my life. Now I memorized it in the King James Version of the Bible and it says it this way, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  I have been introduced to many different versions of the Bible which helps me in my understanding and one of the modern versions of the Bible, The Message Paraphrase says it this way, "By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path." And we definitely have so many dark paths in our

Psalm 119:73 (NLT), "You made me, you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands." Tuesday... There are so many things that I want, and this is for sure one of them. It really is. Here, the one who made us, created us wants to give us the sense to follow his commands.  We are in the midst of moving from one neighborhood to another. We're moving into Sun City, a 55 and older community. And I jokingly say that I want to be with my people, old people.  The truth is there are other reasons why. Well, I had to go over to the new house to unlock the door for the cleaners but I got in there and I couldn't get the Air Conditioner on and I knew the cleaners would need it on because we are still in the 100's but I couldn't figure it out until I realized that a worker yesterday had unplugged it. If I would have called him I would have known what to do. And that would have made sense but I kept at it trying to figure out what to do. And so many live life th
