“So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today.” Proverbs 22:19 NIV I was reading my Bible this morning and came across this profound proverb. I underlined it. Meditated on it. Made a note of it to hang this somewhere in my classroom. Ultimately it resonated most with my role as…
“He said, ‘Look I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.’” Daniel 3:25 Back in February I wrote about these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in a post called Where Does the Story End. Today I want to look at…

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.” Psalm 32:1,2 The other night at dinner our conversation switched to a fellow student of my girls.
