I've been quiet for the last week largely due to discouragement. Darlene was released from the hospital a week ago and has had a tough week. Her antibiotic runs out today and, while there may be some marginal improvement in her leg (from the cellulitis infection) it still looks pretty bad and she is still [...]
Chronological Bible 28: Loving God’s Word
This week's passages included Psalms 105-107, 111-121, 123, 125-126, 128-130, 132, 134-136, and 146-150. As we finish the book of Psalms, we've encountered this week one of my favorites - Psalm 119.
