An open Bible shows a blank, pink-bow-decorated page with handwritten notes. The notes reflect on Jesus' betrayal, stating that "every communion is a reminder: I am loved & forgiven" and emphasizing the need to depend on Jesus.
THE LAST SUPPER NOTES
If I'm being honest, I think most of us would have gotten up and walked away. I know I would have. Why would I want to sit at a table with someone who is trying to find a way to betray me? Most of us would have confronted Judas or distanced ourselves from Peter, but Jesus? He just keeps on l

An open Bible page with handwritten notes and highlights, focusing on the Book of Esther. Key phrases include "Studying in Esther last night," "if I perish, I perish!" from Esther 4:15-16, and a sticker quoting "be strong and courageous Joshua 1:9."
Studying in Esther last night
One can learn a lot from studying the book of Esther. Did you know that Esther is one of only two books (the other being Song of Solomon) that does not mention God? The ironic part is that even though He is not mentioned in the book of Esther, He is ALL over it. Esther was chosen by God to save
