While the tongue can't be tamed completely, we can While the tongue can't be tamed completely, we can seek to temper it. James 3:8 What are some ways you can put into practice today's "praise over put-downs" challenge? Day 4 #DoingLentTogether **Reminder, we will not have posts on Sundays so we'll be back on Monday with Day 5.
Today, let's not just watch what kind of words rol Today, let's not just watch what kind of words roll off our lips; let's also prudently monitor how many. Do you practice thoughtful silence? Yes? Share your ideas with us. If not, what is something you can cut out of your day in order to gain 5 minutes of silence? Day 3, #DoingLentTogether
God really is the great Know-It-All. He knows what God really is the great Know-It-All. He knows what we are thinking long before our thoughts become our words. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being completely easy and natural and 10 being extremely difficult, how hard is it for you to rein in your thoughts, keeping them in line with scripture? How can remembering that God knows our thoughts completely help us keep them in check? Day 2 #DoingLentTogether
Today's the day! It's Day 1 of our 40 days of #Doi Today's the day! It's Day 1 of our 40 days of #DoingLentTogether. Our words have not only power for good or evil, they also have staying power (Proverbs 18:21). As we begin our challenge, let's vow to learn all we can to align our words with God's holy Word. Are you ready? Do you have any thoughts on today’s entry in our Zip It devotional challenge?

Hey you. Yes, you. The one scrolling through all t Hey you. Yes, you. The one scrolling through all the posts of seemingly blissful people on their Valentine’s Day dates. Or showing off their new jewelry. Or that breathtaking bouquet of flowers they got from their significant other. Here is a little reminder that you are loved. Completely. Thoroughly. Without hesitation. Entirely unconditionally. God sees you. He loves you. And besides, take it from someone who’s been married for over three decades, a spouse does not complete you. A spouse cannot satisfy your deepest desires or your need for belonging. Only God can do that. There are millions of married people who feel horribly alone. Don’t longingly wish for someone else’s life. Embrace the life you have been given. It can be a glorious adventure, if only you will allow God to take you on it. And it all starts with knowing that the only unfailing true love you will ever know is from the Lord. You. Are. Loved. Don’t ever forget it. (And I think you’re pretty special, too.) ““I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” 💕Jeremiah 31:3

Twenty-three years ago at this exact minute, I gav Twenty-three years ago at this exact minute, I gave birth to our youngest, a nearly 10-pound bouncing baby boy. 🍼With my husband being a Baby Boomer, myself a member of Generation X, and our first two children Millennials, having a baby in the Generation Z category completed our family. 👨🏻👩🏼👧🏻👦🏼👶🏻 Spencer Sanders, your determined personality, 🏋🏻investigative mind, 🤔and loyal heart ❤️ make me proud to be your mom. I’ve loved every minute I’ve spent watching you play baseball, basketball, and football, even though I had a perpetual case of bleacher-bottom numbness. ⚾️🏀🏈 (And if you ever do make it into the UFC, I will come to your events but I will keep my eyes closed) 🤼‍♂️ 👀🚫 Your adventurous spirit inspires me. 🏂Never would I backpack across the US and Canada for an entire summer by myself at the age of 20. 🏕 🏔I can’t imagine moving to Australia 🇦🇺 🐨🦘with no job, no place to live, and without knowing a soul, but you do things like this with ease. (There’s that determined personality again 😉) Enjoy your day. 🎉We’ll celebrate on Saturday with oven baked mac & cheese and Aunt Thais’ famous white-chocolate raspberry cheesecake. 🧀🎂🍥She would’ve been so proud of the man you’ve become. I sure know the rest of us are. 💙
