Each day brings with it the miracle of a new beginning. Many of the moments ahead will be marvelously disguised as ordinary days, but each one of us has the chance to make something extraordinary out of them.
Douglas Pagels
Making something extraordinary out of each and every day becomes more important with each and every day! My Auntie's advise for doing that very thing... Start each and every day by spending some time in a quite place . Take the 'good book', a journal, and your morning coffee to your quiet place and talk over your plans for the day with your Heavenly Father.
Retreat into a quiet place with Jesus.
You will find peace, joy, and healing."
" The mind of man plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9
Over the years, I've followed this advise as faithfully as I knew how. God's Word and my journal have been a huge blessing in my life. So when I decided to share my life online, parts of my journal seemed to be worthy of sharing, too. It contains words of encouragement, words of enlightenment and guidance from the Lord. My prayer is that my readers will be blessed in the reading and find God's love and power in the pages.
In Prayer It Is Better To Have A Heart Without Words
Than Words Without A Heart.

A Study Bible Index
Most people want to serve God...
in an advisory capacity.
• Supplies •
- Felt tipped markers in several favorite colors
- Metallic Gold or Silver Calligraphy Pen
- Ruler & Pencil
- Determine what divisions will be the most convenient; i.e. Books of Moses, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, Psalms, Proverbs, Gospels, Epistles, etc. Use whatever method compliments your study habits. Then, carefully fold back the covers of your Bible, and -
- Holding all the page tightly together - mark lightly across them with a pencil, about every 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. (15 to 20 mm)
- Separate the first section you want to index from the rest of the pages and, holding them tightly together, carefully color the edge of the section from the top down to the first pencil mark.
- Separate the next section, hold and color between the first and second pencil marks. Continue with each section you have decided to separate, moving down the pages as you work. When you reach the bottom of the pages, begin at the top again.
- When all of the sections have a colored "tab" showing their location - use a gold or silver metallic pen or marker to fill in the blank areas, covering any remaining pencil marks or areas where the color may have bled across the lines. Sometimes leaving these blank areas white is very effective, too. It's all up to you.
There you have it! Beautiful gilt edged pages, a quick reference index to aid in your studies, no nasty little plastic tabs to break off, and a Study Bible that can accompany you anywhere. Almost as good as the gilt edged, cut indexing found in very, very expensive volumes, Right?
I have so much to
do today
that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.

"The wages of sin are the hardest debts
on earth to pay,
and they are always collected at inconvenient times,
and unexpected places."
