A Great Book from Paul David Tripp:
Journey to the Cross, A 40-Day Lenten Devotional
I am being challenged daily by the writings in “The Journey to the Cross.” In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.
My New Favorite APP: SPEECHIFY
This app is amazing. Just drop any text, article, web clip, document, pdf, text, email into it, and pick your voice. Then let Speechify read it to you slowly, normally, or rapidly. You can listen to anything and maximize your drive time or exercise time. Have your papers, documents, and emails read out to you in world-class voices. Listening is faster, more accurate, and more flexible than reading.
A Great Netflix Series: Chef’s Table, BARBECUE
Okay, I know I have been on a roll with cooking and travel shows lately, but this show has both. Be sure to start with the show on the Mississippi Delta. It’s so good. Who’s up for a road trip to Greenville, Mississippi? Everybody Loves Raymond” creator Phil Rosenthal travels the globe to take in the local cuisine and culture of Bangkok, Lisbon, Mexico City, and more.
An Article Every Christian Should Read:

The Old and New Testaments of the Bible, comprised of 66 books, tell one cohesive story of redemption, climaxing in the person and work of Jesus Christ, the Savior! The Old Testament is vital to understanding why the story of Jesus is so critical in the New Testament.

A Quote from Tanya Marlow
“Throughout the Bible, God is on the side of the oppressed, not the oppressor, over and over again, and we are called to defend not the latter but the former.”
From Thorns and Gold | The Bible, suffering, and the messy edges of life
