📖 Bible passage for the year ahead
|
Hi Reader, ​ This weekend, I’ll be returning home after spending the holidays with my parents in Ohio and a week in Illinois. ​ Recently, I’ve been working with the Early Bird Reader Team as I launch my next book… ​ More about that next week. ​ As we’re now in 2026, below is a short Bible passage I hope will encourage you—whether you’re looking ahead to the rest of the year with great anticipation or hesitation. ​ Consider printing it out or pasting it somewhere as a reminder to be thoughtful, not worried, prayerful and thankful, and focused on what is holy. ​
​ Here it is: ​ Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
​
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
​
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
​
(Philippians 4:4-8, NLT)
​ Wishing you a joyful, prayerful, and peaceful 2026. ​ Thanks for being part of my reader community.

Hi Reader, I wanted to share a quick update as I prepare for the launch of the new book I wrote with my parents, From Sea to Shining Sea: 50 Daily Devotions from Traveling to Every State in America. Right now, I’m in what I’m calling a secret launch phase — getting everything set behind the scenes before really making the book public. I’ve been working with the Early Bird Reader Team over the past couple of weeks while also getting things set up on Amazon and having a beautiful book trailer...
Hi Reader, Last Sunday, we received a package with proof copies of From Sea to Shining Sea--the new 50-day devotional book I wrote with my parents, highlighting their travels to all 50 states. My dad proofread the paperback to check for any formatting or other minor issues that may have slipped through. And he did find some things that needed to be corrected. They're now fixed.😃 Here's a snapshot of the inside... I happened to open it up to Ohio when taking this picture. It's my parents' home...
