OVERFLOW

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:35 Alex is back! After a nice month-long hiatus, I am back and am excited to grow in our love for God and in His Word. You probably have already noticed that this year is very different than last year with the first difference being that there are not the regular Old Testament/Wisdom/New Testament Articles. The reason for this is because I have started a new Bible in a Year Plan which is slightly different than last year's plan. If you want to grab a copy of the plan I am using, you can find it here: ( Bible in a Year Plan ). Which sort of leads us into the second difference, cadence of articles.

Happy New Year Everyone! Alex's is still on hiatus for vacation and preparation for the addition to the family, but never fear, there will be at least one prepped article posting for the next couple of weeks to get you excited about things to come in the new year!
