Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book, Out NOW!
Psalm 18 begins with the descriptive title explaining the context of David’s song. This psalm is a song of victory, a lengthy and exuberant praise for God’s mighty deliverance of David from all his enemies and from the long-time oppression of Saul.
Today is National Be An Angel Day, and I am dedicating this song to each of you out there who have been beautiful angels to the people in your life you love, as well as those who may have been strangers that you helped in some special way or another.
Thanks, iBUG, for the opportunity to be a participant in the Talent Showcase 2025. I was honored to be among such talented and courageous blind and low vision artisans. It was amazing to hear the singers, musicians, and poets were amazing!
David seems to be presenting an argument to God, justifying his right for God’s protection because of his own works. David sees man’s covenant with God as one where, as long as you are keeping your end of the bargain, by keeping God’s commandments, then God will honor His promises by blessing and protecting you. This perspective is not unusual in light of the Old Testament/Covenant of God and man.
American Council of the Blind of Virginia (ACBVA) presents Voices of Vision, our new 30-minute Zoomcast where we interview visionaries making an impact in the blind and low vision community. Voices of Vision hosts, Debra Hill and Maria Evangelista, will conduct the live (and recording!) interviews in Zoom.
Every day I take a nap. See me in my cozy blanket! After a nap, I feel rejuvenated, refreshed, and in a better mood. It helps me unwind, and it decreases anxiety and physical tension. Happy National Relaxation Day!
August 9th is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This is an opportunity to open our eyes to the communities that were and are, locally and around the globe. Today, I urge you to take a moment to learn about this day, its significance, and the people it brings recognition and relief to.
I know that God will keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind on Him. I also live with the blessed assurance that this peace and joy will continue through eternity when my soul is forever with the lord. Amen.
David’s checklist provides examples of how the righteousness of the heart will correspond with righteous actions. The disciples were known as Christians by their love (John 13:35). It is not of works that any man should boast (Ephesians 2:9) because we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). I thank God that instead of condemnation, he invites us to come boldly to his throne to obtain mercy (Hebrews 4:16). All my righteousness is as filthy rags. But the blood of Jesus alone has washed me whiter than snow (Hebrews 9:14/Psalm 51:7).
We have exciting news! Debra was chosen to have her talent submission displayed and voted on at this virtual talent show!
