I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
Do you have a tradition you do every year for Christmas or Hanukah?
I started one a few years ago. I have been reading a chapter a day in the book of Luke. I found the challenge to do this on Facebook. I normally start on the first day of December and continue to the 24th.
This year, I only realized that we were 4 days into December and I haven’t read one chapter! How did I forget we were in the month of December??!! Well, there is no shame if you have to catch up. Sometimes life gets in the way. What do I mean by that? Well, some of us have family and life may take a turn from the norm. We all experienced that in 2020 with COVID-19. So, don’t beat yourself up if you are not on pace to finish by Christmas Eve. Just do your best. And as you are reading Luke, ask the Lord to show you something new this year that you didn’t see the last time (for me last year) you were in the book of Luke.
Hope we can follow along together. I will try my best to post where I am in my readings daily.

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the ...

Genesis 38
Healed by His Wounds
Brokenness. We see it all around us. We experience it ourselves—in our relationships, in our dreams, in our bodies. And yet, something happened over two thousand years ago that still has the power to heal that brokenness.
1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, took the weight of our sins upon Himself. He carried them to the cross, giving up His life not because of His own wrongdoing, but because of ours. This is the essence of the Gospel. Through His sacrifice, He offered us a path out of darkness and into His light—a life transformed by His grace.
Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we’ve been given a profound healing of our spirits; new life taking the place of sins and darkness that separate us from God. Through His wounds, we are offered forgiveness and a new relationship with God, healed and ...
