Walking with God

It’s never too late to start reading the Bible through in a year.  Your year can start at anytime! With the website that I have a direct link to at the top of Soaking Up The Son, you can customize your day to begin today, or any day of the year!   Here’s my random...

I have a question for you at the end.  Your opinion is appreciated.   Day 9 of 2020 Genesis 20:1-22:24 *Abraham, Abraham, Abraham...you didn’t learn your lesson on lying about posing your wife as your sister.  I think about how many times I should have learned my...

Day 8 of 2020 Genesis 18:16-19:38 *These verses disgust me, yet also challenge me.  The rampant sin taking place was sad and sickening. Homosexuality, incest, lust, and actions taken in desperate situations were completely evident and broke the Lord’s heart. Yet, I’m...

Well, if you’ve been with me since day one of reading through the Bible in a year...CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve made it through the first week. I hope that you’ve (and others) have noticed a change in your attitude and how you handle situations. I know I have more peace...

My journaling notes: Genesis 3:   Satan makes us question God. Satan contradicts God. Satan tempts us. Sin appeals to our senses.  It can appear beautiful/appealing to our eyes, delicious/delectable to taste, and dangles what we think we desire in front of us. When we...

Yesterday I presented a challenge to you to join me in reading the Bible through in a year, and journal each day about the insights you gain.  When I first began this journey years ago, being consistent took much self discipline. When I found myself slacking, I...

Today is the last day of a decade. Today is the last day of 2019. Today is a day of reflecting back on occurrences over the past year. There have been some unforgettably exciting moments, and there have been incidents that have been heart wrenching that i wish would...
