What do you keep saying you will do "someday"? What is one way you could begin this month?
A word for the day
Open this page each morning for a single question to write with, and stay a while with a passage if you have time.
This page starts with today's prompt: one journal question for each date of the year, the same for everyone who visits, and it changes at midnight. Below it you'll find our scripture reflections, each pairing one World English Bible passage with reflection prompts. On a busy day, write with today's prompt for five minutes and leave it there. On a day with more time, choose one passage, read it slowly, and stay with it awhile.
