Only one third of the way through this 31 daily devotional for single women, and I am loving Spellen’s encouragement! My heart and my spirit rejoiced this morning when she expressed how praise and worship are not only amazing tools to bring us into the presence of God, but that by doing so, we engageRead More…
This is one concept that definitely needs to be encouraged in the personal devotional/prayer life of all modern believers. Even for myself, this was a difficult lesson to begin learning back in 2009, but it was a lesson that God knew I needed. As a worshipper used to God meeting me intimately through lyrics expressedRead More…
Prayer. . . a subject that has become dear to me over the years and moreso as God has shown me that the concept of prayer is so much more than merely bringing Him a laundry list. Prayer is meant to be two-way communication between the follower of Christ, and God. Scripture mentions various kindsRead More…
Journalling, what used to be known as “Dear Diary” decades ago when pen still touched paper, has always been something I’ve struggled with. I start, sometimes go for up to a month or more at a time, then life happens and it’s hard to get back at it. Journalling is supposed to be a privateRead More…

The results have been interesting to say the least. Some of the sites work on an assignment basis where you get to pick what you writeRead More…
Back in the spring, David asked if I’d be interested in writing a review of his latest book, “40 Days of Praise: A Hymn Devotional”. (paid link) to the left) I was still reading “Devotions From Genesis” by Nicole Vaughn, so I let him know that if I did do his study, it would beRead More…
This particular daily session focussed on the hymn, “Oh For A Thousand Tongues to Sing”, written by Charles Wesley as a tribute to his one year anniversary of coming to Salvation in Christ. David suggests to the reader that they should take stock of when they got saved. Do they have a date? Or aRead More…
Nicole asked if I’d review her devotional, “Devotions From Genesis” back in January 2013. I was looking for devotional avenues at the time and agreed, choosing to do it Monday to Friday every week. At 50 chapters in Genesis, I thought at first I’d be done by mid-March, but discovered that Nicole had other plans.Read More…
