... a weekly letter of encouragement.
5 August, 1998
Good Morning!
Several months ago I mentioned a simple method of meditating on
the Scriptures: READ a passage; RECORD the facts; REFLECT
upon the implications of the facts; RESPOND by applying
one of those implications to your life.
You may want to employ these four "R's" to the following
passages during your devotions:+
