What's your Verse?

What would your life be like without your favorite verse? Or without your Old Testament? Or without your Bible all together?

What if you had never drawn strength from Philippians 4:13?
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

What if you didn't know that you could believe in Christ for your salvation from John 3:16?
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

What if you had never sought comfort from the 23rd Psalm?
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

What if you never knew you could trust in God from Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

There are groups of people all over the world who don't have the common luxury of a Bible in their language like we do here in America (something we take very for granted might I add). This afternoon I received an email from a friend with Pioneer Bible Translators. They are asking God to provide the specific funds to complete the Bible in the Bundeli language. They have already completed the New Testament and are working to complete the Old.

The cost? $5 a verse.

Would you join me in considering a gift to Pioneer Bible Translators today to keep the momentum going for this project? Would you share this with your friends? $5 is really easy to let go of,  I wonder how many verses we can pay for together? Consider your Bible and what it means to you and please consider making a small (or large!) donation to help make it possible for someone else.

The Poop Tree

Undoubtedly, the quote of the week:

"Mommy, I pee peed on the poop tree"

My response, of course was "You WHAT?!"

"I pee peed on the poop tree"

 Given his location by the back door I had just heard close, it didn't take me long to figure it out.

"You the mean the tree out back where the dogs go poop? You pee peed on it?"

Yup. He walked outside my back door, to the back of the yard, and took his morning pee on a tree.

The. Entertainment. Never. Stops.

Boys will be boys. I hope the neighbors weren't awake!
