What's Up For 2015?

By Mary Vee

Happy New Year!!

Celebrating the start of a seventh year of this blog.

Sharing Bible stories on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 

Missionary stories on Mondays

Take a walk throughout the Bible on Wednesday and Saturday. These stories are told in the first person to help take you back in time to the event. My research, using commentaries, Bible maps, and etc. help me craft the events in the Bible so you can

See the sites

Smell the scents

Taste the food

Touch the objects

Hear the sounds
Feel the person's joys and sorrows

These stories are great for family Bible reading time, homeschoolers, Christian schools, kids, grandparents, moms and dad

The purpose of this blog is:

to help you experience these very real events 

to help you understand in maybe a small measure why God included each important event in His word.

to help you want to learn more and grow closer to God

For this reason you will not see advertisement on this page. 

This blog is all about God, His word, and how He is importance in our lives.

In six years we have:

Walked from creation to Daniel's life events 
Walked with Gladys Aylward through her missionary journey in China
Walked with J. Hudson Taylor's journey in China
Played Bible games (see tab at the top to find the games)
Discussed ways to keep safe (see tab at the top)



This year we will:

Continue Daniel's story
Start Amy Carmichael's journey in India.

May God bless you and your family in this new year. 

I look forward to your visits.

If you know someone who would like to read these stories, feel free to send them the link. I welcome all readers.

New Year

By Mary Vee

What would you like to do in this new year?

Many people make resolutions.

What is a resolution?  To make a firm decision, to do something.

Most decision are short term, made new every day, for the moment: 
To get up in the morning, 
Go to school or work, 
Eat a meal
Forgive, 
Be kind, 
Do our work, 
Play fair, 
Be respectful, 
and the list could go for pages. 


During awake times, decisions are made every minute.

A resolution is a decision we choose to make for a longer period of time, like a year. Some people make more than one resolution. 

One of my resolutions for this year is to continue telling Bible and Missionary stories on this blog.


The highlight of my week is to dig into whatever the next Bible story is, research maps, people, commentaries, geography, culture, anything I can find to tell the Bible story to you. I have learned so much!! 


The new year starts with a Bible story about Saul. Interesting timing, eh? The first human king for Israel. Will he do a good job? Will Israel be happy they chose to have a human king? Bible stories will be posted each Wednesday and Saturday.


The Gladys Aylward stories are about to end and yes, I have chosen the next missionary to feature: Hudson Taylor. I have already purchased seven books about him and am digging through those treasures to formulate the new missionary series. Missionary stories will be posted every Monday.


I especially enjoy your visit. 


Did you know this blog has an average of 150-300 different people from countries such as India, Philippines, Columbia, Saudi Arabia, Russian federation, United States, Canada, South Africa, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Netherlands, Japan, and many more EVERY DAY? 


Each day I dedicate a time of prayer for the people who visit this blog, that means you! May God bless you this year, may He help you grow closer to Him and give you peace.
