after a lot of prayer (i know i did..hehe) and thought, jacqueline and i decided to commit to the blended method of the Bible reading guide. it’s been going pretty well; we’ve been reading 2-3 chapters from genesis and 1 chapter from romans every day. i found it excitingly captivating when father [...]
