Did you ever hear someone say, if you do this then this is the result…
“If you try this weight loss program, we promise you 10 pounds in a week!”

“If you buy this shampoo, your hair will grow, be stronger and look better than ever.”

A Fun Weekend that Included the Bible Recap Live

These early fall days have been full of blessings from the Lord’s hands. It hasn’t really felt like fall with temps still rising to the 80’s, but we’ve enjoyed some fall activities anyway.

Whitney and I have been reading the Bible chronologically for the last few years using The Bible Recap with Tara Leigh Cobble. Months ago we purchased tickets to attend a Live Bible Recap in Greenville, SC. We were excited to hear Tara Leigh and be a part of this event. It far exceeded my expectations!

My sweet husband went along as my driver, but he also had “business” that kept him busy while Whitney and I were at the Live event. He and I stopped in Weaverville on our way at our favorite little bakery spot where we enjoyed lunch and shared a Molasses Cookie the size of your face!

I was so surprised! I was seeing well! Oh, magazine print was a little difficult, and driving at night wasn’t the best, but magazines are using lighter print than they used to, and why do cars have such bright lights on them now? There wasn’t anything really wrong with my eyes, but okay, I went along with the doctor and my first surgery was scheduled.

It happened first thing in the morning. That evening when the dilation had lessened I could not believe what I was seeing. Colors were so bright! Even white was different! The threads on fabrics were so pronounced I couldn’t believe my eyes. When I looked in the mirror, I had aged 10 years in a matter of hours!

Happy January 1, 2024! It’s easy to get enthused about new things like an exercise regimen or weight loss…or reading through the Bible, and then LIFE happens.

Yikes.

You can’t walk because you have a dentist appointment. You are invited to a friend’s birthday event, and the only food offered is pizza and chocolate cake. You missed your Bible reading because you overslept and had to dash to the dentist! What do you do?
