Recently I began a Bible study with my oldest daughter and a few of her friends. At our first meeting all I had were Bibles and notebooks for the girls, but no Bible study book or even a topic.

Ducks in a Row? Nope…not even in the same pond.
You know that old saying about getting your ducks in a row? My ducks aren’t in a row…in fact, I’m sure my ducks aren’t even in the same pond. I really want them to be…at least in the same pond.

Offering and Receiving
I’m so thankful I was asked to post something for www.familymatters.net — this is my first official post! I hope you enjoy it. I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing forgiveness is to those of us who have been hurt and heartbroken because of someone else’s actions and for those of us who mess up daily…actually isn’t that all of us? I pray that you will see the great gift forgiveness is to receive and to offer.
