Bible Verse of the Day: Hebrews 1:1-5
1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
"You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You"?
And again:
"I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son"?

WHAT SHOULD I WRITE? (AM WRITING FOR CAMP NANOWRIMO)
For over 15 years, I have wrestled with this question and I keep asking it,thinking I have answered it, only to ask it all over again. Repeat. And repeat.
Look at how many times I have changed my writing genre and ideas on this blog. It's full of hundreds of ideas I have not followed through on or finished. All of my writing seems to have been for a season.
However, I keep coming back to a few core values that I know I should write about:
1 Journaling
2 Prayer Journaling
3 Christian Living
4 About the history of the USA
5 About the politics of the USA
6 About current events
7 The War on Terror
8 Fantasy/speculative fiction
9 Fiction writing to show #1-7.
Now, I think I have figured out how to encompass #1-9.
Hence, it's the fantasy or speculative fiction series of "KRAIMORA" I have decided to try to write.
Stay tuned.
I am writing it for CAMP NaNoWriMo.
Also, I will continue to write about current events, prayer journaling, Christian Living, the Bible, and praying for our world on this blog.
Book I Read Yesterday
Patrick W. Carr (Author)

I read a fantastic Christian fantasy yesterday. I highly recommend it. If you want a fun, fantasy advtenure and quest story, this book is for you. It's excellent escapism.
It felt really good to read to read it with an obsession, curious to see what would happen next. It's been a while since a book captivated me so.
There are two other books in the series. I can't wait to read them.
What was the last book you read in a day?
I read the book for research and was thoroughly blessed.
Blessings,

Bible Verse of the Day: Romans 5:10
10 [L For if] While we were God's enemies, ·he made us his friends [L we were reconciled to God] through the death of his Son. ·Surely [L How much more…?], ·now that we are his friends [L having been reconciled], he will save us through his Son's life.

Bible Verse of the Day
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
