  • Exodus 5: A Turn for the Worse

    Exodus 5: A Turn for the Worse

    Aaron and Moses go to Pharaoh and tell him that the “I Am” demands that he let the people of Israel take a three day trip out into the wilderness to worship.  Pharaoh says he doesn’t know who this “I Am” is, and slaves don’t get holidays. Most Bibles translate the “I Am” name into…

    Gift Shelf Hack

    About a decade ago, Tim and I both bought the same present for the same person. Instead of returning one, Tim suggested that we save the extra in case we need another present someday. He stuck it in the laundry room and we forgot about it until about a month later. We were headed out…

  • Exodus 4: Accepts The Assignment 

    Exodus 4: Accepts The Assignment 

    We join today’s reading midway through the conversation between Moses and God at the burning bush. Moses is insisting that no one will believe a shepherd wandering into Pharaoh’s court demanding release of the Israelites from slavery. God gives him some up close magic to perform, turning his walking staff into a snake and back,…

    Three months ago I self-published a book of devotionals. It’s relatively easy to become a published author these days because most books for sale only exist virtually. They are posted online and can be downloaded onto devices or printed on demand.  Any and all bookstores may sell you my book, if you know how to…

  • Old Mexico

    Recently, my Netflix algorithm has introduced some Spanish-language content, including a historical fiction based in Mexico. Despite being our next door neighbors, I realized I was a little foggy on the details of the Mexican revolution. To better follow the story, I dug into the history behind the drama.  Like the United States, modern Mexico…

    Living Forward 

    I just finished the audio book Yesteryear. It was a compelling tale because there’s drama and mystery experienced by the main character. I also enjoy a plot twist that exists in plain sight.  The story highlights a real issue in our society, the desire to run away. If you look online, you can find a…

    Captain & First Mate

    Yesterday Tim and I got a rare chance to lunch together. In the summer we had the kids and the rest of the time Tim is usually driving over the road. Instead, we had the rare combination of the kids at school and him driving locally. It felt like back when we were dating before…
