Life is too short to not be myself…
Here I am, out for my morning walk. I've been really trying to get myself moving in the mornings with a short 10 to 15-minute walk. I go for a longer one with DH later in the day, but I think it's a great way to start my day. We are really working at getting... Continue Reading →
Nehemiah 8 The Reading of the Law The people come together (I just love that word) in the square and the priest Ezra reads the book of law. Everyone was attentive. Ezra stood on a wooden stand that put him above the people. When he opened the book everyone stood up. Amen and Amen Ezra... Continue Reading →

Nehemiah Chapter 6 So we continue on with Chapter 6. Enemies within and without 1-9 The other officials become concerned about this wall being built around Jerusalem.

This week, we begin with reading Nehemiah Chapter 5. Greed 1-5 Greed had infiltrated the people. Those who had, took more from those who didn’t. They seemed to take advantage of those in need. Reminds me of the Pay Day Loan shops we used to see in every other building outside of every military installation... Continue Reading →
The blues. Sometimes, they just sneak up on me. Does that ever happen to you? I think I must be really good at hiding it, even from myself. I tell myself, oh, I’m just lazy, just tired, what do I have to be blue about? I can even still tell jokes and be quite funny... Continue Reading →
Let's continue where we left off on Tuesday with Chapter 4 1-5 The other empire officials worry over the building of the walls. They are angry and begin to mock and make fun of the Jews and their work. Nehemiah hears this and prays for God’s help. It’s hard when we feel called to do... Continue Reading →
Nehemiah Chapter 3 Side by Side This chapter was a bit hard to read for me. Too many names that I can’t pronounce but it has a very important message. I feel like the two most important words in this chapter are “next to.” They are repeated over and over again. They worked side by... Continue Reading →
