So after over 10 years of writing daily devotions, I finally decided to put them on a blog. I sometimes worry that people who have been on my distribution list for years that maybe they don't want to receive my devotions any more but just don't want to hurt my feelings by asking to be taken off. This way, they have control.
I try to write every day of the week except for Sunday, although there are times when it just doesn't work out for me. When I go on vacation or I am away from home for another reason, I don't usually do them unless I have something I just HAVE to write about.
Writing devotions is most of all a good discipline for me. It keeps me studying, questioning, and curious about God and his word. The fact that some people like to read my ramblings is icing on the cake to me and as I begin this blog, I look forward to your comments, questions and ideas any time they occur to you.
At the end of each devotion I have a JOY or GRATITUDE list... those things big or small that I feel particularly thankful to God for that day. Sometimes they will not make sense to you because they are often personal, but it is a good practice for me and makes me remember to count my blessings.
So here I go....
