As I SOAPed the last chapter in 2nd Peter, I couldn’t help but notice a few things from both this chapter and 1st and 2nd Peter as a whole. Aside from reading a verse or passage here and there along with a devotional or something, I had never read through either book in its entirety. …
Defining Moments by Dan Schaeffer proved to be an amazing book. I had picked it up at a thrift store quite a while ago but kept pushing it aside, for one reason or another. But boy, what a blessing it was when I finally picked it up!! It is actually an easy read that covers…
This week ended Esther and began 1 Peter. I noticed that Esther 8 and the first chapter of 1 Peter share a common thread, found actually in Psalm 112:1. There we read “Praise the Lord. Blessed are those that fear the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands.”

My boys thoroughly enjoyed the story and the bright, bold pictures! I had followed a link from another blog I read and…
