Angel Studios, who brought you THE CHOSEN, is releasing a new film, HIS ONLY SON. For the first time in a feature film, the interconnected relationships of Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac are brought to life in a way that has never been seen before. There is emotion, doubt, depression, and faith. While the movie is based on the story found in the book of Genesis, it also includes a broad interpretation of the scriptures to develop the movie’s plot further. To fully understand the story within the context of the film, we recommend reading Genesis for yourself. You will see Sarah in a way you have never seen before. HIS ONLY SON is about believing in what the Lord has revealed to you, no matter how long it takes. For more on the movie, watch its trailer here.
HIS ONLY SONpremieres in theaters on March 31st. Click HERE to purchase your tickets.

We are less than a week away from the start of spring. But the way the temperatures have been, it has felt like spring for almost a month.
Do not judge, but my hubby and I finished taking down most of our Christmas decorations over the weekend. I usually keep a hint of the Christmas or winter season by keeping up a tree or a light.
It’s winter, but the warm temps have sprouted up the daffodils a little earlier than normal. Would you believe it was a warm Sunday when I had to run in the house from two bees who were too much of the aroma of my perfume? I was looking forward to some snow because we have not gotten much in our part of the country. I have known it to snow in April, and we even saw some flurries today. So I am not giving up hope for one good snowfall in the season.
Now is the time to start enjoying the spring tubers that are going to bud later. Getting ideas about what you would like to plan later this year or what dream landscape plans you have in mind.
What outdoor projects are you looking forward to this spring?
I am teaming up with Katherine from Katherines Corner and my other blogging friends to offer this Spring 2023 Giveaway. The winner will receive $100. See the details below!

We often hear that teenagers are the most challenging group to reach with the Word of God. Teenagers are often labeled as disinterested and unreachable. But what if parents and church leaders had a specific tool designed for this audience in mind? The new TEXT Bible from Harper Collins Christian Publishing reaches teenagers by writing the Bible at their level.
TheTEXT Bible is Ideal for teens because it does not talk down to them but teaches them who God is, how to engage with Scripture, and how to have a personal relationship with Him. It is crucial for teens to know they matter in the world today and their life has meaning and value. The Bible is also perfect for young adults, new believers, and anyone who does not feel confident engaging Scripture on their own. The TEXT Bible, which uses the New English Translation (NET), introduces a new and memorable study method. The TEXT method uses a four-step approach to help readers of every experience level interact with God’s message.
(T) — Talk to God (E) — Encounter God and humanity in Scripture (X) — Examine your heart (T) Talk to others and engage with Scripture
Along with this easy-to-use Bible engagement technique, answers to common questions, prayer prompts, and easy-to-understand study tips, The TEXT Bible allows readers at any experience level to get closer to God. They will want to use it every day.
This short video provides a more detailed description of the Bible’s key features.
The TEXT Bible retails for $49.99. However, you use this LINK to save 50% if purchased by Valentine’s Day.

What would you do if you could use your smartphone to text God with questions? I mean texting all your worries, doubts, and fears to God. What if you could get a text message back from Him?
I had the opportunity to preview the new TEXT Bible, which we found to be relatively easy to use and understand, featuring new and unique ways to reach new people. The TEXT Bible is designed with students, young adults, and new believers in mind. However, anyone who desires to get deeper into the Word will benefit from it. The TEXT Bible, which uses the New English Translation (NET), introduces a new and memorable study method. The TEXT method uses a four-step approach to help readers of every experience level interact with God’s message.
(T) — Talk to God (E) — Encounter God and humanity in Scripture (X) — Examine your heart (T) Talk to others and engage with Scripture
Along with this easy-to-use Bible engagement technique, answers to common questions, prayer prompts, and easy-to-understand study tips, The TEXT Bible allows readers at any experience level to get closer to God. They will want to use it every day.
Key Features

For example, under the hashtag of confidence, the reader is directed to Psalm 20:7, Proverbs 3:26, 2 Corinthians 3:4-5 and Hebrews 13:6. Here, the reader can see what God is saying to them directly in the verses.

We are one week in, and we pray this year is off to a fantastic start for you. My hubby and I have not made resolutions for several years. We have found that resolutions just don’t work for us because they set us up for failure. After all, you don’t have a plan. However, we spend time at the end of the year to reflect on what went well and what needed improvement. And from that, we look at setting goals for the new year. Reading books is one of the areas that we examined. We realized that the for the amount of spiritual and personal growth we desire for our life, we had not completed enough books in 2022. So for the new year, we aim to read or listen to at least one book each month.
JT and Hubby in Verona, Italy
Other areas we have examined and reflected on include health, fitness, relationships, travel plans, date night ideas, fun time activities, and getting more rest. Now, this does not mean that we have it all planned out by January 1st and that we are mode of accomplishing these goals. We know that these will always be in a constant state of examination and reflection, with tweaking and adjusting as needed. It takes the pressure off of knowing that we must figure it all out at the beginning of the year. To complete one book per month, we decided to spend thirty minutes per day reading or listening. Right now, we are examining what time of day is the best to complete this task and if it is possible to do it every day or if we should aim for four to five days per week.
Giveaway Winner Announcement We wanted to end the year with a giveaway to say THANK YOU to all our fabulous followers. Some of you have been with us for years, while others are new. We wanted to thank you for sharing our journey through life – an elegant and graceful life. The winner of our giveaway is

As 2022 draws to a close, my hubby and I are reflecting and feeling grateful and thankful. We hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa with family and friends. If you are not with family and friends, we pray that you have peace and know that you are loved and are not alone. If you do not celebrate the holidays, we hope you are well; know that you are loved and have peace.
Thank you for being a part of our blogging family. We write because of you. Every comment and every view is deeply appreciated. We do not take it for granted. We pray 2023 is prosperous physically, spiritually, financially, and in your relationships.
The Christmas Story For my hubby and I and our family, we also reflect on the true meaning of the Christmas message. We spend time reading Luke 2 and Matthew 1 in the New Testament, which tells about the birth of Jesus. Without the birth of Jesus, there is no death on the cross, no resurrection, and no everlasting life in Him. In our latest YouTube video, I read these passages from the Bible. I include action steps to receive your Christmas miracles, as taught by our pastor.
Gratitude
One thing that I want to continue in 2023 is journaling because I can always go back and see what I have written that I am thankful for. When I need encouragement, I can go back to my journal to remind me to be grounded in thankfulness for what God has done for me. If you don’t like to write, it can be bullet points. Here is a sample entry from the journal:
Father God, In the Name of Jesus, I am thankful for the following:
A colleague I helped at work today.
Keeping a positive attitude despite how I may feel.
I got in my piano practice today.
*These are some examples, but it can be three things that you feel grateful for that day. You can write down three things before you go to bed.
