Well, hi there.
This blog, like so many projects in the world, emerges out of frustration. I am a reader of daily meditations. I have one for recovering addicts, one for empathic people, and one for people who are trying to learn to love their spouse's cats (not really, but if you know of one like that, please message me).
I don't have a good one for reading scripture daily. Not because there aren't a lot of them, there are, but because they don't have the Scripture included. So instead of one book, the meditations, now I need two books, the meditation and the Bible. And since I do all my reading on a kindle or kindle-like product, and there is no really good, searchable and easily accessible Bible on kindle, I end up very very frustrated by the whole damn thing.
So, if I figured if I can't find what I want in a daily scripture reading, then I might as well make one.
In this blog, you will find daily scripture reading INCLUDING THE SCRIPTURE, a brief commentary from me, and a thought or question for the day.
Sadly, none of this is available on Kindle.
We begin with Luke 1:1 and go through the New Testament. Luke, because it is Year 3 in the Revised Common Lectionary, and, frankly, Luke/Acts is what I think I need right now (the beginning of the second Trump administration).
If you're interested in taking my observations further, I am very glad to engage in civil conversation, you can leave me a comment or send me an email. We have Bible study on Thursdays at 12:30 at the Cathedral (9th and Walnut in Salina KS) and services on Saturdays at 6PM and Sundays at 10AM. Stop by for more of the same.
May God give you the grace never to sell yourself short
the grace to risk something big for something good
The grace to remember that the world is now too dangerous for anything but truth
and too small for anything but love
and the blessing of God almighty be upon you and those you love.
