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.
From Dawn to Dusk
Close your eyes for a moment. And while you do that, picture this wonderfully diverse planet we call home. (Yes, really.)
Everything that you just imagined—God created all of it. And God created all of us to worship Him.
From north to south and east to west.
From bustling cities to slow-paced villages.
From lifeless deserts to life-packed forests.
From the highest mountains to the farthest oceans.
“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised!”
Psalm 113:3 NIV
The sun “rises” and “sets” on all of us. All people, all languages, all nations. All skin colors, eye colors, and hair colors. All shapes, sizes, and personalities. Rich and poor. Aching hearts and contagious smiles.
An eclectic mix of people from various parts of the world have always been praising God from generation to generation—and it continues to happen now. And we know it will never stop.

When you’re in a season of receiving, you can worship.
When your heart is breaking, you can worship.
When your heart is full, you can worship.
From dawn to dusk, let the name of the Lord be praised.
Today, think about this verse and consider what compels you to worship God. Then, shift your heart toward Him and don’t forget to worship.

Our hope is anchored in a breathtaking promise: "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as waters cover the sea." This is not a thin layer or partial awareness, but a complete, overflowing fullness—God present everywhere, known and enjoyed in every place.
The prophet Habakkuk wrestled honestly with God, questioning why injustice seemed to prevail and why the wicked were allowed to judge God’s people. God’s response lifted Habakkuk’s eyes beyond the immediate crisis. Though God does address evil, His ultimate purpose reaches far beyond judgment. His heart is that all the earth would truly know Him.
In Scripture, “knowledge” is not mere information. In Hebrew thought, to know God is relational—it speaks of intimacy, trust, love, and lived experience.
