Join Me In 2024 as We Read Through the Bible
Each morning after making the bed, I head to the couch in our family room, coffee cup and Bible in tow.

Sometimes we’d enjoy a Christmas treat as well. We lingered. We listened to music. We talked and laughed. It seemed to stretch out the holidays for us and it was wonderful.
