As most of you know by now, I have a habit of keeping track of books I read throughout the year, something I started in 2018 and have enjoyed doing since. This year, I did something a bit different. I added the dates of when I finished reading a book. I didn't read as many … Continue reading Books Read 2020

2020: The Year that Seemed a Decade
I wouldn't be joking if I said 2020 was a very difficult year. I also would be honest, I think, in saying that 2020 was a year most of us did not see coming. Like the title of this post suggests, 2020 seemed a decade long at times, and yet, over the past few days, … Continue reading 2020: The Year that Seemed a Decade

Take Heart
During 2020, one of the passages from the Bible that has really stuck with me from the beginning has been John 14-18, which is part of Jesus' last few hours with His disciples before His crucifixion. Many verses from this passage have been quoted across the centuries, especially as they speak about peace, which is something that has been sought for by humanity since the Fall of mankind.

This work is dedicated to … Continue reading Grief ~ Prosey Thoughts
