In the Word Wednesday #10 Names of God by Ann Spangler

 Good morning friends!

I know last week I said I was going to go back to a different devotional, but…this one popped off my bookshelf instead. I started it a while back, and didn’t finish (well, I selectively went through it, haha). 

This features 26 weeks of study of names of God in the Bible. There’s an introduction, then 4 days of further questions and prayer. I might go through it twice or, maybe take 2 weeks to really soak in the text. 

Do you have some devotionals on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished or maybe used years ago? Revisit your own books! They want to be read 😀

I did start reading Proverbs again. I’m reading it in the King James Version, the version I used when I first began my journey. I’m very glad that I have this classic foundation. The KJV is so beautiful with the poetic books (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon). It took some years for me to switch over to another version for regular reading and study, but I like to go back to the KJV for these books. What’s your go-to Bible version? Let me know, and please keep it polite. I know it can be a controversial topic, and that’s not what we’re about here.

Whatever you choose, I pray that it brings you refreshment and joy as you grow closer to God this year!

Till next week, be blessed!

In the Word Wednesday #9 Join me on You Tube!

Good afternoon, friends! It’s been a bit, and I hope you all had a great Christmas. Ours was quiet, and that was fine. Some of the kids and grands came by on Christmas Eve, and I showed my granddaughter how to make a card. She did get her hand pinched by the punch, so I consider her an experienced stamper now! 

I have a short video coming up on You Tube in a bit (2:30 PM, MST) Please come join me over there and excuse my wonky internet 🙂

Stampinopolous on You Tube

Let me give you the links I mention in the video to get some free monthly Bible jounaling tools.

The Holy Mess, blog, with Sara Borgstede. 

So Very Blessed, blog, with Becky Brown.

Daily Bible Chapter You Tube channel, Monday-Friday, with Amy Maryon. She offers a free Bible study to go along with the readings.

Here is the devotional I mentioned, by Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies. (I am not an Amazon affiliate, just offering you a link!)

As I mentioned in the video, prayerfully consider what you can do to be in the word daily. You won’t regret spending that time with God.

In other news, I’ll be hopping on Facebook for lives, once I figure out my camera situation. Sheesh! All this technology should make it easy, right? Hahaha. Nope! Please join me there, also!

Stampinopolous on Facebook

I’m also on Instagram and I just started a Pinterest page. Just search “stampinopolous” and you’ll find me! 

I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to join me for Bible discussions, or card creating, or whatever else comes along. Maybe in February I’ll start a NASCAR Monday series! Leave a comment with your favorite driver if you follow NASCAR!

I’ll keep posting, and have a great afternoon!
Blessings, Barb
