    At times my doubts drive me to my knees with the Book of Psalms open before me—I read and pray over each word and phrase—searching for a divine antidote for my fears. Then the Holy Spirit takes my willing heart, and clarifies God’s purpose for my life. He uses His word to comfort and convict my heart—and to instruct my head. I forget, but He lovingly reminds. So, use these simple writings as an excuse to get before the Lord and let Him love on you. These reflections are not an end in themselves, but the starting point of where God wants to take you in your faith walk.” – Boyd Bailey
