My name is Becky Jo and I’m a wannabe Southern Belle who married a Northern Hunting Man! So, now I reside in the chilly state of Michigan – quite a switch up for this Arizona girl!!! I am madly in love with Jesus, my man, my kiddos and my grand babies. My hobby is coffee … always coffee!
The verse I’ve chosen is Psalm 118:5-6 MSG
Pushed to the wall, I called to God;
from the wide open spaces, he answered.
God’s now at my side and I’m not afraid;
who would dare lay a hand on me?
God’s my strong champion;
I flick off my enemies like flies.
Far better to take refuge in God
than trust in people.
I chose this verse because I have an old book mark from my grandma that says that this is the center of the Bible (vs.8), and I want to ALWAYS be at the center of His Will. Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people, indeed. AMEN!

Lisa Markley, Cary, NC (2nd verse since I missed May 15th): “Bring me a new bowl,” he said, “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. Then he went to the spring and threw the salt into it saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.” And the water has remained pure to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken. 2 Kings 2:20-22

PSalms 103:14-16
For He Himself knows our frame;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

And its place acknowledges it no longer.
