Read the Bible in a Year

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Alot has happened since my last post, but I'll save that for another time. The end of 2017 is upon us, and a new year begins on Monday. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about a Bible reading plan. Does reading through the Bible seem intimidating? Overwhelming? Daunting? Have no fear...there is a Bible reading plan for you. I've compiled a small list of Bible reading resources. Personally, I use a book - The Daily Walk Bible. I love it! If you prefer to download a reading plan and keep it in your Bible, you can do that, too. Do you use an app? There's a plan for you. Whichever method you choose, don't delay. Begin reading through the Bible. You will be blessed! Happy New Year!

Jesus is the Light of the World

Yesterday, I took my boys to visit the old abandoned Donner Summit Train Tunnel. I got some cool pictures of these tunnels and I have to say that some of the graffiti was equally impressive. Anyway, as with any tunnel or cave we did a lot of walking in the dark. However, there were many moments when the light shined through sometimes very brightly. The following picture isn't the best example of what the tunnel looks like, but it's a good example of how the light shined through openings in the walls. Always remember that Jesus himself said that he was the light of the world. He is the light that shines brightly in the darkness.

Jesus is the Light

Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness. The darkness doesn't understand nor does it want to. In fact, the darkness hates the light. Jesus said,

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." (John 15:18-19)
