2 Peter 1

"Because the stakes are so high, even though you're up-to-date on all this truth and practice it inside and out, I'm not going to let up for a minute in calling you to attention before it. This is the post to which I've been assigned—keeping you alert with frequent reminders—and I'm sticking to it as long as I live" (The Message)

As I write this and think of what these verses are telling us to do, I think of the purpose of this blog. Ken began this blog as a way to encourage daily prayer and scripture reading. I'll be the first to admit that it's a hard thing to do. There is so much going on every day that causes our attention to be elsewhere, causes us to be distracted. I believe this blog serves as a 'frequent reminder' to us- so we will be drawn back to our faith, so we will know and practice it constantly.
Ken has blessed us with many forms of reminders-sermons, blogposts, conversations. They are stored in our memory so we may call upon them in certain times-perhaps now is one of those times.

  1. Thank you Jenni. I found comfort in finding a post about this day's scripture reading. I started reading this daily blog before I ever attended a service at the church. It let me know for sure that the spiritual leader was truly grounded in the Bible and committed to encouraging others to seek God to give personal guidance as He has for generations through his holy word. Please keep this blog going; I do need frequent reminders.
