Imago Scriptura 99 – Ecclesiastes 6 – Words
I love to read pretty much anything other than romance novels (I’m still scarred from having to take care of the romance novels section of a bookstore that I worked at in college). I don’t know how much I read in a day, but its […]
Imago Scriptura 92 – Psalm 119b – Fitbits and Owen Meany
The last two days of daily readings have been going through the longest Paalm in the Bible – Psalm 119. The overall theme of this song is about God’s faithfulness as understood through God’s decrees and God’s word. One passage in particular stood out to […]
Gift
Shaia moves from the challenges and sufferings that Mark speaks of to the Garden of the Gospel of John – and especially the joy as one comes into that place of beauty and renewal. My morning started not with the beginning of Shaia’s reflections on […]

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He […]
Psalm Photos – 119:129-136 – Pe – Unfolding
Psalm 119:129-136 Your decrees are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. With open mouth I pant, because I long for your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is […]
Psalm Photos – 119:65-72 – Teth – Humility
Psalm 119:65-72 – Teth – Humility You have dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was humbled I went astray, but now I keep your word. You […]
