Hebrews 4:12, LM Wilson

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

When I was 5 years old, I was living in upstate New York, when I attended a fall festival at a church. I won at a bingo game. Bingo is still one of my favorite games to play. I could pick any prize on a huge wall of toys. There were dolls, trinkets, and games to choose from. Instead of picking one of the many toys, I chose a large family Bible with the gold trimmed pages and beautiful colored pictures of Jesus talking to children. I still have this Bible, 34 years later. It is one of my prized possessions. 

I have read through the Bible several times in my life. There have been times when I felt like I knew it all. I quickly learned that there was so much more to be gained from reading it again and again. 

My hope for you, whoever you are, is that you will open your Bible and learn something new today. What is God trying to tell you? What encouragement or direction do you need? Each time I revisit a passage of scripture or study a book of the Bible, I am amazed at how I learn something new, whether it is about God or myself. 

I am thankful that at the age of 5, I chose the Bible as a prize and now at age 39, it is still a great blessing in my life. It guides me and helps me grow in my faith. I pray it does the same for you. 


Lord, Your Word is truly a light for our feet, helping us to know where to go. Help us use the tool you have given us to grow in understanding and love as we learn more about you. Amen.

Real World, Real Faith Series - Question #1

 Question Number One "IS GOD REAL OR WAS HE MADE UP IN ORDER TO HIDE US FROM THE TRUTH?" This is a great question. I had to think and pray on my response for a few days.  Quick answer: I think He is real. I personally know that deep within my heart.  Middle length answer: I think He is real...personal experience...but I can totally see that how God is incorrectly portrayed can cause people to lack trust in Him, in faith and in Christianity as a whole. You are not alone in this question.  Long answer: I didn't grow up in a Christian home. I had the Bible through by the time I was 12ish. I knew the dos and don'ts of being a Christian...but it wasn't until I was 16- that all of that knowledge became real. Stories and rules do not make a Christian. It is a personal and real relationship with Christ. At 16, Christ became real to me. He was no longer a warm and fuzzy story but a real presence in my life. So...I guess what I am trying to say is that I hope and pray that ...
