Call on Him
by Lynn Huggins Blackburn Psalm 145:18-19 ~ The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he
Read moreScratch ‘N Sniff Bible, by Lynn Blackburn
I’ve always wondered what it would be like if my Bible came with a scratch-n-sniff option. Imagine what the Garden of Eden smelled like. The fragrance of fruit trees and grasses and roses without thorns. The aroma of a world brand new. Fresh and clean. But it didn’t stay that way.

You are my favorite.
Huh?

The disciples were probably okay with that.
Until they weren’t.
