    My 2013 Year-end Book Reading Schedule

    December 10, 2013 /

    With less than 3 weeks left before we close out 2013, I realize that I have about 5 books that I would like to finish reading before the New Year. There are three I absolutely want to finish.  Here are my “Top 3”. “Accidental Pharisees: Avoiding Pride, Exclusivity, and the Other Dangers of Overzealous Faith” by Larry Osbourne This book is wrecking me from the core in a good way. Every so often a book comes across my path at a time when I have the desire to check my motives and intentions to why I serve in ministry and examine how I am serving.  Right now I am at another…

    How Devoted to Your Devotionals are You?

    July 12, 2013 /

    Between you and me, I am honestly not that skilled when it comes to reading any of my faith based devotionals every day.  For the last few years,  I have purchased an annual devotional book by Joyce Meyer.  This year’s book is “Trusting God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotions” My practice is if I fall behind in my readings by a few days; I make it my business in one sitting to read and meditate on as many as I can grasp (with understanding) till the next time.  I do the same with those I have subscribed to through YouVersion’s Bible App. I know that it is not ideal…

    “Right Heart. Right Attitude.” By Joyce Meyer is jacking me UP (in a good way)!

    May 29, 2013 /

      “Right Heart. Right Attitude.”; by Joyce Meyer is the book I am currently reading or should I say is reading me.  I was introduced to the book after watching a series of episodes on the subject of “Attitudes” on Joyce Meyer’s “Enjoying Everyday Life” broadcast.  Auntie Joyce’s (what I affectionately call her) program is one of the word-based ones I record on my DVR.  I watch it and others during my devotional time. When I first watched the episodes, it was shortly after moving to Texas to live with my husband, Oji.  We had lived nearly 9 months separately after getting married!  We were/are in that delicate yet beautiful…
