Today is the last day of January, and you’ve done a great job so far! One month down, 11 to go! I love when Christian music artists take time to share their thoughts on our Bible readings, and hip hop Bobby Bishop steps front and center. I’ve met Bobby a few times, and if there’s…

Congratulations! Look how far you made it in your daily reading! We’ve gone from the garden of Eden, through Egypt and the famine and on to Moses and the plagues. And today we read about the first Passover. We’ve read about Jesus and the fish and loaves, and miracle after miracle after miracle. I’m so…

Today, we read about the rest of the plagues. I mean, really. If you wer Pharoh, how many would God have to send to you before you listened? Here are the readings for today, January 30, 2010:

Today we read the first of the plagues that … well, plagued … Pharoh after he refused to let the people go. I don’t know – blood water, frogs, lice, flies. I’d like to think that God had me at the frogs. But Pharoh’s hard heart gave God the opportunity to really show his power.…

2/3/10 UPDATE: As you probably already know, I am not the expert on all things Idol. I leave that to bloggers like MJs Big Blog and Joes Place Blog, who frankly rule when it comes to all things AI. So I should have known the Top 24 list I’d found would change. Here is the…

Tonight’s episode of American Idol takes us to Dallas, TX, with guest judges Neil Patrick Harris and … cover your ears and get ready for the screaming … Joe Jonas. Oh, can my heart take the excitement? Probably. Join me here tonight at 8 for an hour of weirdness, followed by the President’s State of…

Today we read one of my favorite stories about Moses – the burning bush. I can just imagine Moses hearing God speak, pointing to himself, looking around and saying, “Who, me?” And when God says “Yes, you,” Moses responding with, “I think you’ve got the wrong guy. Me?” I feel like that a lot when…
