Reading cover to cover through the Old and New Testament in one year 2013. A Biographical Reading Plan. Over 150 stories of men & women in the Bible from Adam to John---about 1 chapter per day or read whole context. Listening to the God we adore and what HE is stirring inside of us. "The Glory of God is man fully alive." May we become a little more alive in 2013 than we were yesterday. May His Word melt our hearts.

Judges 5:31 and Luke 13:19 "What is the Kingdom Really Like?" (April 14)
You just have to read Scripture in context. This is all still about the Kingdom. Luke 13:19 ~ What is the Kingdom like? A mustard seed. A mustard tree. The shade leaves loom large and offer a respite, a rest. Don't we all need to find a little more rest in our lives. Something happened to me 6 years ago and as I faced my Maker, I changed my value on physical rest. Honestly, the spiritual value shattered first---reversed those days of "little sleep." I now sleep like a baby every single night. I am finding a little bit more of a rest spiritually, too, than ever before. A tremendous freedom to be free from what others think of me, even now.
Judges 5:31 “May your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for 40 years. Physical rest. Spiritual rest. Oh, may we know a tiny bit more of rest this day than we knew yesterday. And for me, freedom from what this Christian community thinks. People seem to be so fixated on behavior without looking at what lies beneath their actions. What is the Kingdom really like?

Poor afraid Gideon, commanded by God yet too afraid so he acts in the night. Better to obey God in the dark than to disobey in light.
