SAFE in the SHEPHERD'S ARMS Sept 26

 SAFE in the SHEPHERD'S ARMS

by Max Lucado

     For my September devotions I went back to my bookshelf and found Max Lucado's book based on the 23rd Psalm.  Hmmm...I thought.  I haven't used this and I could use my sheep scribbles!  I have stretched the psalm out by using the Revised Standard version one day (which Lucado uses) and The Message version by Eugene Peterson the next.  The RSV has the quote from Lucado as the main commentary and a personal haiku on The Message day.  Enjoy a new look at the 23rd Psalm.  And, as usual, my daily prayers are either embedded in the drawing or along the side frame.

 WITH GOD ON THE HIKING TRAIL

by Nathan Chapman

Devotions August 2026

     This month's devotional images come from the pocket devotional from Outdoor Insights, With God on the Hiking Trail, written by musician and songwriter Nathan Chapman of Nashville, Tennessee.  In addition to music, Chapman is an experienced backpacker from years of hiking in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.  He combines the lessons learned on the trail with the lessons of the Bible.  In my devotions I have put Chapman's words in quotes, or in the case of the prayers, put nc after the Amen.  The haikus are all my own summaries of the essence of the lesson.  Unless otherwise indicated, the background photos are all from my own collection of 'trail' pictures.  Locations noted when I could remember!
