Challenge: Read the Bible in 90 Days!!
I've decided to GO for it! :) I first heard about this challenge from a blogging friend, Kimberly, at Raising Olives. I actually thought it over and prayed about it for days. On Christmas Eve I felt like the Lord was asking me to give this to Him as a gift to Him. A gift of my time. A gift of my commitment and devotion to Him.So, I'm going for it. I'm a bit afraid of this commitment. I've tried reading the Bible through in a year...and usually get stuck in Deuteronomy. :) So, maybe reading it a ...

Russia – Missionary Study
I forgot to add this in my post on Russia --We will be learning about Brother Andrew, who is known for smuggling Bibles into Russia during the Cold War. He has been given the nickname "God's Smuggler" and wrote a book by this title as well, which I hope to read in the next few weeks. I think Brother Andrew's prayer is so powerful...and gives us much to think about, as well as much to be thankful for! "Lord, in my luggage I have Scripture that I want to take to Your children across this border. ... Read More about Russia – Missionary Study
