31 Days: Day 19 - Giving
For Day 19 of my 31 Day Challenge (read a chapter a day in Proverbs and post my favorite verse(s) each day for 31 days) I was drawn to this verse from Proverbs 19, and this sets the entire tone for this post:
"He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done."
31 Days: Day 18 - Illustration Friday: Cracked
(click image to see more detail) The Illustration Friday topic this week is "Cracked"...and almost instantly I thought of cracked teacups.

31 Days: Day 8 - Postponed...
I'm saying this to myself y'all...not to anyone else. Just a reminder to be a better time manager. :o( I'm sorry, but I will have to post about Proverbs Chapter 8 along with Proverbs 9 tomorrow (I did read chapter 8 today though) - and I will include the 31 Day giveaway details too - Lord willing…31 Days: Day 7

31 Days- Day 4: Bye Danny...
If you're not an American Idol fan, you might not know or care who this is...his name is Danny Gokey and he was my sentimental favorite contestant on Idol. (Adam Lambert, the other top contender and fan favorite, is a kick to watch and is a monster talent, but Danny was still my favorite) Da…
31 Days - Day 3: Illustration Friday - Parade
"The Barnyard Parade"
I had a variety of images parading around in my mind this week for Illustration Friday's topic "Parade", but ended up choosing some fun parading barnyard critters. No telling why they're in such a festive mood...perhaps the farmer is away for the weekend...?
Anyway, I was happy …
31 Days - Day 2
