Joe and I are part of a community group, and this past weekend we began reading The Church in Babylon by Erwin Lutzer. I've only read the first three chapters thus far, but I can already tell you…it is powerful! And SO "on the mark" for our current times.

I'm currently finishing the latest novel that our own Deb Raney is writing as we speak—Chasing Dreams, a Chandler Sisters novel #2. And it's touching, moving, heart wrenching, humorous, hopeful—everything you've come to expect from a Deborah Raney book. Unfortunately, it's early in the process so there's no cover art to share yet. But I can share the first novel in the Chandler Sisters series, Reason to Breathe— that just released last week!

Lastly, I'm currently reading the book of I Samuel in BSF's (Bible Study Fellowship) People of the Promised Land I 2018-2019 study , and I found myself moved yet again by Hannah's faith. And her prayer of praise in chapter 2! How she could do what she did... Such trust in the Lord of Heaven's Armies, as she calls the Lord God.

If you've never been involved in BSF, I highly encourage you to check it out today. This is my seventh year in BSF and, as I told Joe the other day, this study is one of the top 5 blessings in my life.

The organization of this study keeps me in the Word. It offers me accountability I sorely need. Because I know me, and I simply would not be as deep into the Word, nor would I read it as regularly, without BSF. So if you long to know more of God's Word too, if you want to better hear His voice—and you need accountability like me—consider joining BSF.

Blessings on your Tuesday—and if you haven't already…GET OUT AND VOTE! : )
