May the Lord be with you and bless you on this fine day.
Today’s Kindle deals include a book for women in ministry of various kinds, one for counselors, and one for all of us (since it deals with humility). Peace Over Perfection is a solid pick as well.

Your Phone Habits Aren’t Just About You
There isn’t much in life that is just about you, so it shouldn’t be a shock that your phone habits affect other people. Still, it’s good to consider it. “We think our phone habits are personal, but when millions of people prioritize their screens over the world around them, the consequences ripple outward. When you divide your attention between your phone and the real world multiple times a day, you reshape not only your expectations but also the social fabric around you.”
I Know God’s a Writer
This is a really sweet article from Brianna Lambert. “God is far more than any one description. We just tend to see more of his beauty down the avenues we love—the ones we know. My years spent writing has tuned my ear to catch the way the Lord demonstrates his own writing chops—how his poetry and beauty spill out of his world. In turn, my husband, who spends time problem solving, building, and dealing with the particulars of spreadsheets and numbers, notices the way the Lord orders every minute detail to perfect harmony.”

So What If You’re Bored?
“You don’t have to be around churches very long–particularly if there are any children around–before somebody insists it is a bit boring.” So what do you do when church is a little bit boring?
The Release of the JFK Files, Conspiracy Theories, and the “Deep State”
Theologian Kim Riddelbarger has had a long fascination with JFK’s assassination. He writes about that, conspiracy theories, and the “Deep State” in this interesting article.
Flashback: Do You Believe God Will Save Your Kids?
There are few things I pray for with greater frequency or intensity than the salvation of my children. I long for them to be saved, and long to be able to be able to call them not only my son and daughters, but my brother and sisters.
We can’t do battle with evil without letting God destroy the evil in us as well.
—Paul E. Miller
