Want more of Gods' Word in your heart and on your mind? Take the challenge! In the summer of 2020 I watched a YouTube video about Bible memorization.

The idea for this post came to me while I was reading the reviews for a book on grammar. Ideas can come from the most unexpected places. The comment in question was, and I quote: "I wanted to understand grammar, not the author's philosophy of life. Waste of money!" Ouch. Since I found this comment... Continue Reading →
