In trying to spend some daily time with God, we all struggle against the gravitational pull of the urgent. These devotional meditations are meant to encourage and challenge you in your spiritual journey while still being enjoyable to read—I trust these goals are not mutually exclusive. Each meditation has a Scripture verse, along with a pithy, practical, or poignant pondering, laced here and there with a bit of dry humor. Hopefully these thoughts will give you something to ruminate on during the day and spur you to spend more time with our Creator who loves us so deeply.
