Underlines Revisited
Back in January, I wrote about how I am reading through the Bible this year in my devotions and for each chapter I read, I am choosing one verse to underline. I thought it might be good for me to revisit that thought by sharing a few of the verses that I am choosing to underline.

So you know how you go to church on Sunday and you hear the message from the pastor and you go home thinking about how awesome the sermon was? Okay so maybe awesome is too strong of a word. Anyway, a sermon is not so much a public speech as it is a challenge, or
