The below-listed devotional writings are actually the contents of emails that I sent to my two children Ethan and Emily after they graduated from High School. Because they were in college or working and no longer living at home, I took the opportunity each morning during my Bible study time to write them a short summary of what I had been studying. I also included some of my “life experiences” which I felt included lessons and truths that God had taught me…with the hope that they might apply them to their own lives. Some memos were longer and took several days…others are brief reminders of truths from God’s Word that have left an imprint on my life. I often refer to these devotions as my “cyber” devotions. I pray they will be a blessing to you also.
